The Millenium SUCKS! I've stayed there a few times, really only because I got it for less than $50, and because I was only going to spend about 6 hours there total.

Sorry you had such a bad experience.

Buteos, the hallways of the Adam's Mark are TERRIBLE, but ask for a renovated room. It's pretty nice although the bathroom is darker than the bat cave and could use a better update. But last time I stayed there I got a reno'd room and the beds were nice, new flat screen tv etc.

Won Adam's Mark in downtown Buffalo for $60. Couldn't get anything in the suburbs-which is what I wanted.

Have stayed at this hotel previously and was NOT impressed. Oh well.

I'm here!!!! The TV is large and FLAT!! The only that stinks is the internet. No wireless, but my friend had a long cord so it reaches the bed. Yay!

I need a room for the same area...same night. I have gotten the Millenium twice on PRICELINE.

We might end up as hotel room neighbors.

Haha!

Doh. That's how I know I'm po'd!

Marriott Courtyard Gwinnett.

I was really really hoping for the Hyatt Place again.

I can't seem to determine if the Marriott's internet is free or not and if perhaps they've ditched the 19" tube tv for something a little more modern.

If this was one night, I wouldn't be so annoyed. But it's my vacation. Grrr. Serves me right for wanting to save a buck.

ANY way I can get out of this? I don't need the Priceline speech. I get it. I know it's final, non refundable, etc etc, but there's got to be some exceptions to the rule?

I am NOT happy.

$48 a night. Reviews are not great. I've stayed next door at the Hyatt Place and was hoping for it again.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!

Nevermind. Reserved with www.ichotels.com. Holiday Inn Buffalo Airport for $127 US. At least I didn't have to pay upfront.

Oh poo. I need a room near the airport on that same night. Crap!

I gotta say, PL is pi**ing me off!

I am re-bidding every 24 hours...like I'm supposedly allowed to, and they keep cutting me off. Greying out options that I haven't used in the last 24 hours.

Anyone have a strategy for me? Ideally looking at eastern end of the city, airport, etc.

I really don't want to spend more than $100 US (I'm in Canada), but I will if I have to. Regular rates are up there in the $150 range. Damn holiday weekends!

I prefer not to go below 3 stars. But again, will if I have to.

Not sure what zone you are bidding on.

I have twice bid for a room near Buffalo airport, zone 2 (Cheektowaga).

First time was January 2010, and I got the Millenium.

Second time was May 2010 and I got the Millenium. My May bid was for $50. I can't remember my January bid.

Amherst isn't THAT close to the airport. The Millenium is right next to Walden Galleria and is literally a 5 minute drive from the airport...especially early in the morning.

So sometimes they will list the pool and sometimes they won't? When I booked on HOTWIRE, I got the Hyatt and the amenities listed included the pool. Just trying to understand. I will likely use HOTWIRE for my upcoming vacation and I want to clarify.

I tried your dates again for the same area (I've been there twice) and I get $59/night, 3 star, amenities listed as breakfast, fitness center, and internet. I don't think it's the Hyatt as the Hyatt has a pool. So does the Holiday Inn Gwinnett Center and Holiday Inn Gwinnett Mall. There are like 10 hotels in the actual city of Duluth, so it shouldn't be too hard to narrow it down.

Not sure if this helps at all, but I've bid on PRICELINE twice for a 3* Buffalo Airport hotel, once for a date in January and once for a date in May, and both times I got the Millenium.

Just got back from this trip. We arrived at the hotel around 3 pm. I had called the hotel once looking to secure a king room, and my boyfriend called twice. So it was supposedly on file that we had requested a king room.

We check in, and take the nausea inducing glass elevator to the 18th floor, to find 2 double beds in our room. Big boo.

So, my bf calls front desk, asks for a king, advises we called 3 times asking for a king. Apparently, they are sold out. So, we go down to the lobby. My bf goes to front desk, and I try to get online to find another hotel because I am not sleeping in a double bed while my bf sleeps in another bed when we are celebrating a special occasion.

10 minutes later, my bf secured us a king business suite in the renovated portion of the hotel. Amazing how the girl on the phone said they were sold out, but after asking twice (in person), and advising the front desk that we would be leaving if a king was not available, a king was suddenly available. Hmmmmm.

Anyways, the room was great. We had a great time. I don't know that I would stay there again though. The hotel was almost too big. There were like 10 conferences ongoing and the lobby was packed at any given hour of the day.

Just got back...hotel was lovely. The room was huge. The TV even bigger! I am extremely pleased with this win and I will definitely book this hotel again. The pool could have use a little heat. But that is my only complaint.

A/C that actually works.

Flat screen tv. (I don't have one at home...so it's nice to have one in my hotel room)

Soft sheets and pillows.

Fluffy towels.

Clean floors/carpets.

Ooooh I'm so jealous! I've looked at this hotel. It's so beautiful!

Would love to hear how your stay is as my boyfriend and I are staying there for one night next week from this priceline win (for our anniversary). We called the hotel directly to request a king room...and they referred us to PRICELINE. We contacted Priceline and Priceline told us they couldn't/wouldn't guarantee anything. I just don't want to end up in a queen room.

I wanted this hotel...and I got it. I took a risk but it definitely paid off.

The amenities listed were pool, business center, and internet. I just checked again and it looks like it's still there but now $48 a night for same dates. :)

Ohh, I forgot, I bid for this on April 16th/2010.

Stayed here once before after bidding $50 on Priceline. It's alright and does the job for the night before an early flight out of BUF.

For $75. Regular rates for that night are $209.

Looking forward to it even though trip advisor has some bad reviews for this hotel.

When I went to NYC, I stayed in Jersey (Newark airport). We took the train into the city (40 minutes) and our hotel was quiet and clean. It's my recommendation if you can't afford to stay IN the city.

start from $30. $38 was accepted 4.2-4.3.

Then do the same thing again. $36 was accepted 4.3-4.4.

For some reason I think that's the only hotel you can get on priceline for the Buffalo airport area! I won a room there a while back (before I joined this board) and that's the only hotel I've ever seen posted for a win on Priceline.

I have to bid for a Buffalo airport hotel again in a few weeks. We'll see what happens!
