Ok, so I'm really IRKED right now. While researching the directions to the Marriott, I saw that Priceline is offering this deal for the Sheraton in the same area with the same stars!!
Room Cost:
avg. per room, per night
$109.00
Rooms: 1
Nights: 1
Room Subtotal: $109.00
Taxes:
$13.76We've chopped fees on this hotel.
Total Charges:
$122.76
This deal was not made available to me while bidding or with the Express deal. Apparently, as a newb, I assumed incorrectly that Priceline would make available to me the best deals via bidding etc. and that a search would not be necessary. I called and explained this to customer service at Priceline and they are adamant that this is not their problem. This is utterly horrible customer service practice and doubt I will be using Priceline again if this doesn't get resolved.
Any worthwhile advice is welcomed.
I am going to work on canceling this purchase through my bank.
