Walked away almost a hundred bucks ahead. regards, Bill

FWIW, you can get a good sense of what hotels are in the Priceline system (at what star-level) by going here: http://www.betterbidding.com/ and picking the state/country and city you're hoping to bid on. It's the UMGF of Priceline! There are also posts by users revealing what combination of factors (city, price, rating) on a given night got their room. Generally, you can't go wrong at least trying to bid on a 4-star hotel in your preferred neighborhood at 50% off the going rate. It'll probably be a big corporate hotel affair but it'll be clean and centrally located, too. If they reject your offer, you can always change it or move on to one of the other travel sites. Lastly, and perhaps this is a no-brainer, but sometimes big city hotels charge a ton for valet parking (or just parking in general). This can add 20-40 bucks a night to any hotel, regardless of how you book it, but such is life. Jason Verlinde The Fretboard Journal

If your offer is rejected, you can wait, I think 3 days and put in another offer, if you have the time to play. Round Tuit's you don't have to do it, just buy a round tuit. Notice: Only available where buckets of steam are sold

If not, check out this: Bidding For Travel, which is also a Yuku forum, and they will give you all sorts of bidding advice for Priceline. You'll get a good idea of what people are paying in the areas that you are looking for. Good luck!

They almost always have a room even though the internet says no. Ask them for their best rate and you can usually do really good. Ron, I stayed at the same hotel, Hard Rock Chicago. In June, not frigid Feb. The hotel was packed. The room, a delux dbl queen listed at $250 on the net. I got the same room for $150 for one night and $195 for the next two. Was priceline significantly better? max
