I used the PRICELINE link and won the 3.5* Sheraton Baltimore City Center Hotel for $79/night for 2 nights plus $33.22 Taxes & Fees (Aug 24-Aug 26). I tried $67, $69, $71 and $75 before the $79 was accepted. The hotel gets good reviews and I was able to reserve a crib for my daughter without any issues so I'm very happy with this win. Thanks Betterbidding! :) Danie

Hello, I wasn't sure where to post this but I wanted to post that I used the Travelocity link to purchase a vacation package to Clearwater. The deal was very good and I wanted to share it. Mar 8-13 2 Adults, 2 Seniors flying non-stop, roundtrip from Detroit to Tampa 2brm suite at Celebrity Resorts Indian Shores Minivan rental Total $2148.36 incl all taxes and fees ($537.09/person!!) I love this site and am always glad to use it to book our trips. Thanks once again, Danie

Hello, I just wanted to update what happened on this trip...the hotel's systems went down and they double-booked our reservation. I called HOTWIRE and we were put up in another hotel at no cost and we received a HOTWIRE credit for our stay. We ended up staying at Inn On Ferry Street. It was fabulous!!! It was in a more convenient location than our original hotel and they had a free shuttle that drove us wherever we wanted to go within a certain distance from the hotel. The rooms were beautiful and there was a wonderful breakfast in the morning. I was very happy with the speed with which HOTWIRE took care of the problem and with the hotel they put us in.

Hello! I was able to get the Hotel St. Regis on HOTWIRE (using your link of course!) for $68. Not as close to the Arena and Ford Field as I had hoped but at least we have a hotel room : ) Hotel St. Regis Oct 10.09 (1 night) Amenities: Boutique Hotel, Smoke Free Rooms, Fitness Center, Restaurant(s), Business Center, High-speed Internet Access Price:$68.00 Taxes & Fees:$13.87 Total price:$81.87 Thanks again for all your help, Danie

My max is $100 not including taxes and fees. As we're going to both the hockey and football games staying downtown is definitely a must.

I tried that earlier today but still nothing : ( I guess inventory is low because the Pittsburgh Steelers are in town!

Sorry...just restaurant.

Hello, I seem to be having a hard time finding a hotel in downtown detroit for Oct.10.09 (1 night). I prefer PRICELINE because I can usually get a better deal but I've bid up to my max of $100 for a 3* or better for the last 2 weeks without success so now I'm looking at HOTWIRE. I see one 2* (I'm getting desperate) for $56 but I can't figure out which hotel it is. Any help would be much appriciated! Thanks, Danie

I forgot... $85/night x 3 nights= $255.00 Taxes and fees = $42.77 Total charge= $297.77

So, after a few days of bidding and being rejected (following my original strategy) I was successful...Boston Sheraton (Copley Square) accepted my bid of $85- even though yesterday I had bid up to $90! Thanks again. As always this site has helped me save on my vacation : ) Danie PS. I used your PRICELINE link.

Hi! I went up to $21 but I was still rejected. I ended up booking an economy from Dollar thru Expedia (using the car rental checker) for $140 incl. taxes and fees. Again, thanks for all your help!!!

Sorry, that was Payless not Dollar.

The $23 rate was from Dollar and Advantage. They are names I know so I am willing to rent from them.

The best rate on the car rental checker is $23 (the same with the retail side of PRICELINE) and on HOTWIRE the best rate was $30.
