			<description><![CDATA[ Guess the rating status for Crown Plaza has increased from 3* to 3 1/2 * - I really wanted the Hilton,

which have stayed at numerous times - that is why bid on 3 1/2* but won Crown Plaza - so assume

this hotel star level has been increased...

			<link>http://biddingfortravel.yuku.com/topic/95417/t/3-Berkeley-Marina-Doubletree-55-10-28-10-31.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Rejected at $50 but won at $55.  Maybe could have bid $52-$53.but for $55 I&#39;m happy.  Again, this used to be a 2.5 * property and was recently upgraded. 
The Hilton Garden Inn (other 3 *) probably won&#39;t come into play until one hits the $60-$65 mark- just a guess though.  Much prefer that property over the
Doubletree but this hotel is more than adequate.  Used A-B link. 
<br>
<br>
$55 X 3 nights = $165 + $28.44 taxes/fees = $194.44.
