This one took adding Friday night 7/18 which I preferred to hold off on until the end of the week. Went up to $55 in combinations of 1, 2 and 3 nights starting Tuesday night, then just decided to add the 4th night.
Still, best 3* quality room to book direct near ONT was $109 so a solid value nonetheless. Hyatt Place was $135, Ayres (2.5*) $109-119, this Marriott direct is essentially $149 during the week. Doubletree $149-159, Hilton north of I-10 around the same. Then you get down to the 2* level in the $75-90 range. As the maximum value of points in hotel loyalty programs typically is no better than around $10 to maybe $15 night, depending on your level in program, Priceline is still one of the best values out there.
$49/night - 4 nights - $196 or $228.90 with fees - just over an inclusive $57/night. Inclusive above $125 or so minimum.

This hotel comes up a LOT in this zone. As your win is evidence of, they frequently are the low acceptor in the area... even undercutting 2.5* properties.
Most definitely. Easy to see with the number of rooms that are average at the very best for a Marriott. Still a solid price for an older hotel just below a typical 3* property.
First tried to fill 3 days - Sun., Mon., Tue. night - couldn't at $43 or $46. Dropped to 2.5* (to try for the Ayres or Holiday Inn) and 2 days, bid the $45 with minimal rebid opportunities and still got the Marriott.
$45 x 2 - $90 - $108.74 with tax/fees

First bid. I was humored by the Priceline attempt to increase the bid. $43/day was the best published rate, $35=good chance and $36=great chance. Accepted $11 on first attempt. Always fun to see what you can get.
I see an SUV in my future LOL.

I'm curious what kind of car you got, Jax4.I've won a compact from Avis for under $10/night twice recently. One time they gave me a fullsize and the other time an SUV. I think Avis is using these ultralow PRICELINE rates on economy and compact class as a ruse to get big cars that people don't want now onto the streets.
Actually ended up with a Jeep Compass. I live on the road with work and this is only my second car through Priceline. I've purchased dozens of rooms through Priceline & Hotwire; however, I just never felt comfortable with cars as trips get cut short and extended constantly. I know just barely enough to pick the right length of stays for hotel bidding.
Typically, if you really insist on a car and have a pleasant, engaging personality, you can get one. Timing is everything - available inventory is constantly changing - from one minute until the next, particularly in larger markets.
I had an issue with this rental and was hopeful someone with a similar experience could assist. Here's what happened:
---- I flew into Seattle last Friday and rented just after noon. I reserved for 1 day not knowing if I would fly out (return the car) on Friday or Saturday, so I booked for the full 24 hours. I returned before 8pm on Friday to catch a redeye flight not carrying over to the Saturday return date as indicated in the purchase. A*** in Seattle took full advantage - full retail rack rate plus surcharges - $161.22 for 7 hours lol. Local management refused to lift a finger, even being as polite as I could be :).
Of course, the rental fine print verifies they CAN charge more if returned early, standard verbage in any rental contract. I rent a few cars each month and been rather fortunate in my rental car experiences. National's Emerald/Executive/Elite service is my preferred company; however, there are better and better deals coming available so it seems, hence my attempt with Priceline and car rentals.
Any feedback would be most appreciated. Thanks for the information provided by you loyal posters out there; it is quite helpful.

Started in 3* Galleria-North. $39,42,44,46,48,49 - all refused. The Best Deal reference swayed me to try 4* DFW North - started at $49 and got the good 'ol standby Hyatt Regency DFW. At least parking is included. Internet is $10/night. Access for working in Dallas is a bit of a challenge. With continued reductions in volume of air travel, deals should be readily available.

Yes, it's South. Was bidding on 2.5*, got distracted during the process, went down to 2* and forgot I used South as a rebid and ended up with the room in South - really wanted it in Northwest. Thanks for the catch. :)
