  1. Through savingsbarn for ME finally (I have bid Disneyland/Costa Mesa countless times but always for someone else's vacation!!!)

    :) Extremely excited to get this hotel/deal .... I have been trying for a couple weeks going up to $55 and finally last night ... this hotel showed up as the cheapest on PL-Vacations!!! I started at $40 and got a counter at $41 ... last failed bid was at $44.

    This is one of the rare hotels in the area that does not charge for parking ... and all the rooms are suites!!!

  2. through the savingsbarn ... for our return from L.A. to PHX ... wanted to divide up the drive and enjoy a great resort for the evening.

    I worked my way up from $50 ... last failed bid was at $67.

    Someone else posted a win for the same single night for $64.

    We love this place ... stayed here during the $25 mistake ... hope they don't charge the resort fee like last time!!!

  3. thru the barn for a friend... failed up to $65 for a 4-star ... than won on my first 3-star bid at $45.

    Hotel has a superb location but the rooms are tiny ... I have had two friends stay there and both complained ... rooms only have one double bed.

  4. Got a bunch of rooms thru the barn for a friend's wedding ... started with 4 + 2 rooms for just Sat/Sun and than added a few Fridays and one Monday... later tried for more rooms but no more bids were accepted. Hotwire had a 4* for $66 which turned out to be the Westin as one of the guests has booked it .. don't know the specific amenity icons?

    Here's the first winning bid... I failed at $43 prior to this bid.

  7. We're meeting some friends in Chicago ...

    Yahoo reviews gives it 4.5 stars while 'Old Faithul' Tripadvisor only 3.5 stars.

  9. Interesting ... I called into Priceline and after entering my request # ... it bypassed all the normal prompts and the phone was answered almost right away by a customer care rep. After getting nowhere, I was transfered to a supervisor (Tony) who said that there are 1000's of reservations they will have to deal with .... the ones that are being cancelled will be all gone by Monday ***print out your winning bids*** I already could not locate one under the "my trips" section. He said to use "check on my requests" to pull up my missing win.

    ... he said to contact management on Monday directly though the link under investor relations and we'd here back within 48 hours.

    In my case, they have cancelled my reservation and kept my friend's ... both were under the same email/account.

    I am pasting below part of the emails I received where La Quinta will reimburse for changed flights, car rental due to the cancelled room ...

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the event your cancelled or rebooked reservations result in cancellation/change fees for airline tickets, rental car reservations or other expenditures you made between the date you made your priceline offer and the date of this letter, LaQuinta will reimburse those fees, as long as the dates of your purchased travel reservations correspond directly to the dates of your original hotel stay and you can provide documentation of such purchases.
