    If anyone has any luck with Hartford I'd love to hear it - so far I've been striking out like crazy. i think I'm just going to stay somewhere between hartford and boston after the show.

    Anyway - I did get a 4 star Weston hotel for Columbus for $57. I wish I had done a 3 star for a bit less- I wasnt really thinking when I was doing it.

    I need to really work on Cleveland and Hartford now... getting these hotels are tricky!
    How high have you gone without luck? I just started last night and got up to $60 for a 3 star in Hartford with no luck. In 2008 I paid $65 and I would be surprised if a room for May 15 cost more than $75 on Priceline given that the Crowne Plaza's regular rates are just over $100 that night.
    I think I got to 67 before I ran out of rebids - i need to get back on it today though. I figure if I cant get it for under $75 I'll just go a bit outside of Hartford - definitely a hassle but worth it for $30 off (maybe).

    YEAH!! --- Just secured this Cleveland Hotel as well on HOTWIRE for $66. Booked on 03-22-10

    Based on the amenities and using betterbidding.com I was able to figure out it would be this Holiday Inn or possibly the Residence Inn, before I purchased it, both are close to the venue and the bus station and the RTA stop from the airport. So this one works awesome!

    I tried 3 days in a row for Cleveland downtown on Priceline however I was denied three times, with bids ranging as high as $69 one time. I saw this on HOTWIRE this morning and I am very happy I don't have to look anymore.

    Good deal. If anyone is interested go grab a room.

    You can add me and my buddy for Cleveland staying the Saturday and Sunday at the Hilton Garden Inn right across from Jacob's Field and a few minute walk to the arena for the show. $95.20 a night plus taxes for a room with 2 queen beds.

    Can't wait!

    Just got the Radisson Cleveland Gateway hotel on priceline for $65... yesterday I bid $65 and got nothing so I'm not sure what changed. On priceline its listed as a 3 star hotel.

    It looks nice - right across the street... no free breakfast but I suppose I'll just hit McDonalds or something ;)

    Just got my KC hotel.

    Hotel Phillips via Priceline (they call it a 4 star hotel) for $56 a night. Seems like a crazy nice deal since the 2.5 star hotels on hotwire are at that or higher.

    Hope that helps!

    it's a daily thing. we went on vacation to charleston, sc. i bid 60 for a 3.5 star hotel. i bid the same amount daily for about a week before it was finally accepted. hotels don't want to discoucnt the rooms until they have to.

    it can be a fun game to play when you have the time. even when you don't have time, you can hit some good deals. i booked a hotel last wed for a thurs-sunday stay and only paid 40 with the listing rate at 100. name your own price rules.

    This site is extremely helpful, takes all of the guess work out of booking hotels.

    Not sure, I think it could be a great tool to see everything at a glance,know you are getting a solid deal, see where others are, etc...
