So, we won the Marriott in Lihue for $100 a night. We called and verified that their shuttle could pick us up from the airport and bring us back the next day. Yes. We weren't picking up our car until the second day of our trip so this was a nice savings on cab fare.
Anyway, shuttle arrived fast after we called and took us to the hotel. It has absolutely beautiful grounds...so many trees and greenery. Everything was nice, some parts, like the pool, are a little dated...they are remodeling beginning this year.
Anyway, at check in, the guy was like, "We have you down for a standard room, but I've upgraded you to pool view." Cool...since we were newlyweds, I was going to play that card too. As soon as we stepped away from the desk, he was like, wait! I have a coupon for-it for a split of champagne (my husband had called in advance and put a note on it that we were on our honeymoon). (They gave us Friexneit at the bar, not bad for free). We also found two free drink coupons in our welcome packet which we used the next day.
So, we get to our room and it was awesome! Pool view? Yes...but also, beach, ocean, and mountain view! It was a nice high floor too so we weren't right in front of everyone. So do not be afraid, bid here, they treat priceline people just fine...I do realize that we got in on a Tuesday in April, so in July, the room upgrades might be sparse.
EDIT: Just realized this wasn't my thread-but still it should apply the same.
