So, Tuesday a co-worker/friend asked for my help in acquiring a hotel room in Baltimore for the Friday of Easter weekend. She was looking at 4-star hotels that were around the $200 mark for a night. I told her she could do a lot better than that.
This is what I posted at Better Bidding.com after researching what our possibilities were (via Hotwire, bidding for travel, better bidding, orbitz, travelocity, expedia)...the results:
Helped a friend get this lovely looking hotel for the Friday night of Easter weekend.
Started at $50, working up at $5 increments with free re-bid zones to $75.
Intercontinental Harbor Court
Inner Harbor Area-Downtown
550 Light Street
Baltimore, MD
4/10/09 for $75 + $18.06 in taxes & fees. Total: $93.06.
Lowest rate for a 4-star for that date on Hotwire was $93 before taxes & fees ($111.34 total).
Lowest rate on Intercontinental website for that date was $180 with Advance Purchase.
My friend is VERY happy.
And I'm extremely happy to have helped her and had Priceline FUN.
