    Those are some excellent deals for Europe. I've been a few times and always had trouble getting great deals on Priceline. In the past I have managed to get decent deals in London, Dublin and Amsterdam, but not as good as the ones you posted above.

    2010 seems like a good year to travel, just like 2009 was.

    I was feeling a bit unlucky at times, but just as I thought no one would accept they did. I think the problem could be that many (and I mean a lot) of hotels in Europe don't have the # of stars on Priceline. So if I select 3 star it doesn't look at the 'non-rated' hotels. My guess anyways.

    For the record, someone posted that Sleepybear Campground in Noblesville is $25 and not $20 per person.

    Just as an FYI for everyone...Priceline finally accepted my bid for 3.5 star hotel in Boston for $100/night. We're booked at the Boston Park Plaza from the 16th-20th in the theater district. Parking is a bit expensive ($30 a night), but overall I'm pretty happy with the price.

    I was rejected at 85,90, and 95...so $100 seems to be the sweet spot.

    Hope that's useful for someone.

    Thanks, tried $95...no go...$100 is the sweet spot. Only reserved for the one night though.

    We got the Omni Parker House for 110/night too for the 17th - 19th. We stayed here on 3/6 for the Muse concert (for 70/night!), not too far of a walk to the Garden and it's a very nice hotel. Just an FYI there's a parking garage around the corner for $18/night.

    Just got Cleveland! Finally ... interestingly, I got 2 rooms - 3.5 stars for $75, the same bid that joesan77 had rejected yesterday. So inventory seems to change quite regularly on Priceline.

    FYI - I got the Wyndham Cleveland At Playhousesquare, which is less than a 10 minute walk from the Q.
    I'm under the same roof as the Baron! My Priceline bid was $80. I probably should've shot lower, but regular rates of $150 had me concerned that I'd end up at a hotel "unsanctioned" by the 10C Community. Didn't help that I waited this long to book.

    Any concern that the 2nd show might not happen in Boston? ;)

    Me and the posse are at Radisson Downtown in Boston which is supposed to be close to Park Plaza which seems to be the "fanboi central". :D

    We do need to find a hotel room for the night of the 18th if that shit goes down :P

    I'm not having any luck with a room in Cleveland. I'm just trying for one night on 5/9. I even tried for a 3 star at $70 and no luck on Priceline. Any ideas?

    Got Cleveland at the Wyndham Playhouse Square for $75 a night today. Couldn't hit anything for less at 2 or 3 stars going as high as $69 but it accepted $75 at 3.5 stars on the first try. Go figure! Looks like a decent place and close to the venue.

    It looks like $75 is the lowest you'll get Cleveland for. There really isn't much of a difference in the 3 star and 3.5 star hotels and often the difference in prices is minimal, if any.

    Sundays are often cheaper then Saturdays but it seems like a lot of people are staying both nights, so there may not be a big price difference. Just bid the $75, 3.5 star and you should get it.
