I am now staying here, totally agree with the above. But they did not mention the $4.95 fee, though I did see the plate on the counter showing that. I would definitely refuse to pay that if they did put it on my bill. Last time I was in Orlando, Best western tried to charge me the so called resort fee and I just told them I would not pay it. I would say, if I had a chance to read the above reviews, I would try my best to cancel the reservation. I got good reason because it was snowing in Albuquerque and I live there. Fortunately or unfortunately I escaped from ABQ just the day before the big snow. :) And I got big rain here in New Orleans. Sigh... :o Also I have to pay $20 per day for parking. :)

If I use a coupon code to reserve a car online, do I need to bring the printout coupon?

It is very normal. I have had such experience for many times. I suggest you not accept it, because I believe the bottom line of the price will not be so high as that you add $9. I would add a few bucks, say $2 or $3, try it again. Very likely you will win. Last time, I bid a hotel in Las Vegas. I bid at $70 and said I need to add $14, so I added $4 then I got it(for $74).

:)

The best price you could get may be $74 for the date. I tried $40,$50,$60,$65, all of these told me I need to pay $84. So I tried $70, said I need to add $22. (I knew it could be pretty close to the bottom line) OK, then I tried $75, got it. Therefore, I started trying $71, 72, 73, 74. Finally I got it at $74. Happy bidding.

So I think it is worth trying to ask when check in. :) There may be a surprise, who knows.

I use Google Earth(not google map). It's a software. It can give you very detailed satellite map. If you are interested, you may download it at earth.google.com Actually I did see a barrier at the entrance of the parking lots surrouding Hampton inn(at the way out). But there is also a large parking lot between Hampton inn and Hilton, and I saw no barrier. So I suppose this is the "free" parking lot of Hampton inn(not hilton's), because the entance is towards Hampton. And this makes some sense, because I really notice a very interesting phenomenon, that is, a lot of cars are parked near Hilton and nearly all places are occupied, while the side near Hampton still has a lot of vacant places. :) Anyway, I will check it out during my stay. :)

If I knew this, I would bid for a 2* hotel. Anyway I should not complain more, it is the cheapeast after all. I used to stay at Hyatt Regency in Disneyland area in LA twice. They also charge parking fee. I parked my car in other hotels' parking lots easily, because there was no barrier :) . I wonder if it will be the same case for Hampton inn. I could not find a barrier on the satellite map. :)

I just find I need to pay $8 per day for parking. And I also find there is a Hampton Inn nearby offering free self parking. I checked it on Google Earth, and they seem to be very close to each other on the satellite map. :)

Some hotels do not offer complimentary parking. I think information about parking fee should be added.

I just wonder if the reservation from priceline is eligible for some hotel's reward programs, like Hilton Honor, etc. Thanks.
