Saw what I thought was this hotel (by amenities) on HOTWIRE earlier for $80 per night but it disappeared quickly. Tried my luck with PRICELINE by opening at $66. Got a counter bid straightaway and rebid twice up to $70 which was successful. I was very surprised to land this as Jan 17 is a holiday, and prices on other sites seem to be rising not falling. I had previously failed with counter bids at $70 for a 3* in the same zone. I guess some extra inventory for this hotel was added at some point. Very happy with the result, thanks for the continued useful information from BB. Search trails started with PRICELINE links.
