Any experience with Price Line Negotiator Express Deals?

Where you going?

I used the name your own price tool and got a room at the Hyatt Regency in New Orleans like two days before I had to be there for $150/night. This was on the weekend of Tulane graduation, so there was a lot going on right there around the Superdome.

Thinking New Orleans.

Go to better bidding.com and they have forums dedicated to cities and what hotels have been given out for said stars selection. Its a very good way to get hotel rooms. About as cheap as you can get. Only thing cheaper is name your own price and it will only be $4-5 cheaper

works great

I've stay in New Orleans Marriott for about $80 many times when posted rate was 130-150 or so

I've bid the room for under 70 many times as well

They are good, if you bid in my experience the best you'll get is like another ten bucks off a night so it's easier. There is a Priceline/Hotwire forum with boards by state and under each they post the hotels by city, location and star rating so you can get an idea. It's not perfect as the companies get new deals all the time with hotels but it's usually accurate. People also post what they got in terms of an express deal. That's all I do now.

I have started to use the express deals instead of the name your price just because it is easier if you don't get the correct bid the first time. I have been using both for over 5 years and it has always worked out.

So I saw a few for under a 100 bucks that were 4 star rating. I want to bite, but I am afraid of getting a bad hotel area.

I don't think I've heard of anyone getting 4 star in a bad area of N.O. Not sure they even exist.
