I noticed there was a 4* option showing up in PRICELINE EXPRESS Deals in Downtown Boston - Harbor Front Area for quite a bit cheaper than options in Back Bay-Copley or Boston Common. Then I realized Omni Parker House is located right at the boarder of the Downtown zone and Boston Common zones. I changed tactic to only bid the two weekend nights and added Downtown to the mix. Started from $110 using free rebids, and ended up with $130. Omni Parker House Check-in:Fri, May 6, 2016 - After 03:00 PM Check-out:Sun, May 8, 2016 - 12:00 PM Offer price: $130.00/night Number of rooms: 1 room Number of nights: 2 nights Room subtotal: $260.00 Taxes & fees: $48.68 Total charged: $308.68 Savings: You saved 33%* A slight saving. Listed price is going for $194 and PRICELINE EXPRESS Deal is going for $138. I guess Omni Parker flips between both those two zones. Now just need to land something for the Thursday night (now going for $234). Used the PRICELINE link all along.

Tried further on April 17, bid from $130 to $160, no luck. I would ideally like to limit my bid to about $160. I see that there are successful bids around ~$140 on the few days after, but I also know that the Thursday night in my dates is keeping the average price high. I may just bid the Friday/Saturday in hope of scoring a good deal, and then pay stiffer price for Thursday... I have booked a backup plan of some sort.

Just reporting failed bids. The dates is still pretty far out so will keep trying and report further. On April 15, bid from $120 up to $150, no luck On March 31, bid from $120 up to $140, no luck On March 28, bid from $120 up to $150, no luck Of course, any suggestions welcome. Used and will continue to use betterbidding PRICELINE link.

Hi there. Thanks for posting your successful bid. Now that priceline splits the city to two zones, I was wondering which zone did you get the Sheraton Libertador for. (The hotel is located in the overlapping area of the two zones.) Cheers.

I know Bayshore would have been about $20 cheaper, but I thought I'd end up spending more than that on cab rides, so I opted to only bid the Granville zone and avoided the downtown zone. Started bidding at $88, was offered back $107 (obviously did not take it), inched up $5 to $93 with a free zone, and landed @ Wall Centre. Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre Granville Entertainment District Check-In: Sat, Jan 21, 2012 / After 03:00 PM Check-Out: Sun, Jan 22, 2012 / 12:00 PM Rooms: 1 room / 1 night Offer Price: avg. per room, per night US$93.00 Rooms: 1 Nights: 1 + Add nights for the same rate! Room Subtotal: US$93.00 Taxes & Fees: US$22.39 Total Charged to Card: US$115.39

Bidded last week from $95 up to $115 and then stopped. Today, started bidding 4* at $100+6 for Granville Entertainment District (hoping for the Sheraton Wall Centre) and was rejected. Tried again at $105+6 adding Downtown (hoping for the Hyatt), and was given the Westin Bayshore. It is not ideal as it is really out of the way (I rely heavily on transit while I am in Vancouver). It is a really nice hotel but convenience is more important than swank for me. I used priceline for Vancouver quite a few times before and always knew this may happen. Alas. Good deal nonetheless. Check-In: Fri, Sep 9, 2011 / After 04:00 PM Check-Out: Sun, Sep 11, 2011 / 12:00 PM Rooms: 1 room / 2 nights Bonus Cash: Per Room, Per Night US$12.00 Offer Price: avg. per room, per night US$105.00 Rooms: 1 Nights: 2 Room Subtotal: US$210.00 Taxes & Fees: US$43.48 Total Charged to Card: US$253.48

After reading through various postings, I went in bidding $70 pretty confident I will land on one of the three usual suspects in Coal Harbour (Renaissance or Marriott Pinnacle, both I like very much, or Westin Bayshore which is nice but really out of the way). To my surprise, my bid was not accepted. I keep adding free rebid zones and did not have any luck until I get to $85 (I was counteroffered $90 after the first try). Hyatt is fine too, in fact closer to everything, though I got it for $76 back in the summer... Hyatt Regency Vancouver Downtown Vancouver Check-In Date:Fri, Jan 28, 2011 / After 04:00 PM Check-Out Date:Mon, Jan 31, 2011 / 12:00 PM Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: US$85.00 Subtotal: US$255.00 Taxes & Fees: US$49.53 Total Charges: US$304.53

We are looking for two rooms for eleven night, so I split the bidding into two pieces. I was being lazy so I went right in at $50 and got it at first bid. I suppose I could have tried lower, still a pretty good deal... I then successfully extended the trip with the same rate. Check-In Date: Thursday, December 16, 2010 Check-Out Date: Wednesday, December 22, 2010 Number of Rooms: 2 Number of Nights: 6 Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: US$50.00 Subtotal: US$600.00 Taxes and Fees: US$138.96 Total Charges for Original Reservation: US$738.96 Check-In Date: Wednesday, December 22, 2010 Check-Out Date: Monday, December 27, 2010 Number of Rooms: 2 Number of Nights: 5 Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: US$50.00 Subtotal: US$500.00 Taxes and Fees: US$116.90 Total Charges for Add. Nights Res.: US$616.90 And yes, we did use the PRICELINE link on the top...

Your Offer Price: $76.00 (US dollars) Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 2 Subtotal: $152.00 (US dollars) Taxes and Fees: $31.82 (US dollars) Total Charges: $183.82 (US dollars) And yes I did use the PRICELINE link on the upper right.

Saw the successful bids with Westin (in River North) so that's what I was hoping for, but figure I can deal with the Loop as well. Tried various bid combination/free rebids, started from $85 and did not get accepted until $115. Neither great location nor a very good price, but acceptable I suppose. Anyway I am pretty sure I used the link (unless I close the window and then reopen or something, but I am pretty sure the successful bid was in a window opened by the PRICELINE link)...

That is quite a good deal. I have been bidding on 10/6-13/6 (so tag on the Saturday) for 4* in NMA, all the way up to $100 and no luck.

I tried again, sticking with 3.5* in the NMA area, went all the way up to $80 and no luck. Will try again for the same weekend or the following weekend later.

We came back from our trip and I must say Hilton worked out really great.

Have been trying to bid 3.5* in NMA for the weekend of June 10. Bid up to $58 and no luck. Am I missing something? Is there a major convention or special event going on?
