Priceline Hotel: 3* Montgomery Courtyard

[nmitch001]

Used Betterbidding's PRICELINE link to bid $50 each for two rooms in Montgomery, AL on 04/01/11. Had tried two earlier bids of $39 and $45. We are driving from Louisville, KY to Gulf Shores, AL, and had hoped for the Embassy Suites because of it's proximity to I-65, and complimentary breakfast, but won

Courtyard By Marriott Montgomery

5555 Carmichael Road

Montgomery, Alabama 36117

two rooms $50 each, taxes/fees $24.22 for a total of $124.22

I contacted the hotel to see which rooms we would have(king/double), adding a meal plan, etc.; only to find that the "heated year-round pool" is not actually opened until May, and all they had was an indoor hottub. When I explained that we have a child that would benefit greatly from being able to swim after a long car ride, they were very nice and offered to release the deposit without penalty, stating that her brother has the same condition as my son and she fully understood. Marriott wanted Priceline to transfer us to another property they own (Springhill Suites), but PL said they could only cancel outright, then advised me to make new reservations "the old-fashioned way". So I guess I'm back to square-one.

Sorry to hear that this property wouldn't meet your needs, but glad to see that you were able to sort it out with PRICELINE and the hotel.

If you'd like help with a replacement for this stay please start a NEW TOPIC.

Thanks.
