  1. You are correct, sorry my copy/paste was for a different hotel by accident. Here are the correct amenities: Airport Shuttle Fitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business Center Laundry Facilities (self-service) High-Speed Internet Access
  2. I couldn't find any folder/thread related to Priceline's new hotel Express Deals - wondering if we could start one? Here's some of my experience with Express Deals: Express Deals are like Hotwire hot Rate opaque hotels. The only difference is there are no customer review narratives like most of Hotwire listings provide (which help identifying the hotel - once mentioned "live DJ in lobby Friday nights" - which I found advertised on the W hotel for that location!). Priceline Express Deals just show "guest score" ratings based on a scale of 1.0 to 10, but not for every listing. Most of the time they are a good guide for what to bid. I usually win a bid when I go $10-$25 below the lowest Express Deal rate for that star category and area. There were times I did not win a bid even though I was bidding higher than the Express Deal rate for the same star-level and area; so I think they are a separate product inventory from the bidding product. Like Hotwire, you are given bed choices for some hotels, which can have different rates depending on the room type. I have been able to figure out which hotel the Express Deal is by reading these room descriptions, combined with the amenities, star-level and area. For example, the room description may say "Exec King Pillowtop Bed Sofa Micro Fridge Free", or "1 King Signature Condor Plush Dreams Bed. Kitchenette And Balcony". They keywords are "Condor Plush Dreams" and "Exec King Pillowtop Bed Sofa". If you go on the suspected hotel's direct website for booking and read their room descriptions, you can often find the exact same wording and thus figure out the Express Deal property that way. Other keywords that help are spacious, luxury, superior, deluxe, suite, studio, ocean view, 500 square feet, etc. Thanks, M
  3. You're right, it is in the Midtown East area. Sorry. That's where I thought I booked but when I checked the map to make sure yesterday, it had ESB area extended up to this area... wish I took a screenshot to confirm they move the areas around based on dates?
  4. Taxes $20.19. Service Fees $9.14 Total Taxes & Fees: $29.33 This was a few dollars more than the lowest published rate on the hotel's website. I was not eligible for the Priceline "Big Deal Guarantee" because I booked this hotel the same day as check-in. "The Big Deal Guarantee is available up until midnight the night before your scheduled check-in date." They also said the rate was no longer showing on the hotel's website at the time of my call with Priceline. They would not accept a PDF screen capture file I had of the rate on the hotel's website. So Priceline's denial of my Big Deal Guarantee claim was consistent with all of their terms & conditions posted on their site.
