priceline or hotwire...

[cristen]

I have a question about using those companies. I have read many threads here that it is not uncommon to get rooms through priceline for $30-40.00 a night. My question is what price amount do you request? If I put $60.00 am I going to get a room close to $60.00 or will I automatically get a room for $35.00 if they can do that? I was just thinking why would they give it to me for $35.00 when I said that I was willing to go to $60.00. How does it work? Thank you for your help. Cristen

It all depends on what star level hotel you want and location. HTH
