  1. My best recollection was 9.0 customer satisfaction and amenities of pool, restaurant and free internet. I'll try and pay closer attention from now on!
  2. I received the two double beds without asking, and my only dislike is based on not being two queen beds. So many three star hotels in the Orlando area give you two queens. The hotel is going through renovation, and the hallways and elevator reflect the construction. My room was newly finished and smelled of fresh paint. There is a microwave, Keurig coffee maker, and a mini refrigerator in the room. The shower (no tub) has two opposing shower heads that delighted my daughter. The front desk help were as nice as could be. Would stay here again when flying out of Sanford International.
  3. Bid through your mobile app on a PRICELINE EXPRESS Deal 3* at $58 using a coupon code for 10% off. Stonewall Jackson Hotel And Conference Center 24 South Market Street Staunton, VA 24401 Check-In: Wednesday, November 20, 2013 at 4:00 PM Check-Out: Thursday, November 21, 2013 at 12:00 PM Price: $58.00 Rooms: 1 Nights: 1 Room Subtotal: $58.00 Taxes & Fees: $13.73 Priceline Hotel Coupon: -$5.80 Total : $65.93 Love this hotel; love your website; love this price!
  4. Started bidding through board PRICELINE link at $40, given immediate rebid opportunity at $52. Added zone and bid $42, countered with $52 again. Added zone and bid $46 for the win. Price on Hilton website is $89. Offer: $46.00 Rooms: 1 Nights: 1 + Add nights for the same rate! Room Subtotal: $46.00 Taxes & Fees: $12.80 Total : $58.80 Hilton Garden Inn Lake Mary 3 star Lake Mary 705 Currency Circle , Lake Mary, FL 32746 Check-In: Sat, Nov 30, 2013 / After 03:00 PM Check-Out: Sun, Dec 1, 2013 / 12:00 PM My only concern is double beds, not queen. Is this a new property for the board?
  5. Decided to extend my stay and tried to add another night using link in my first win, but because I checked in after midnight of the reservation, Priceline said my shot at that had expired. Oh, well. I just bid it again the hard way. Stonewall Jackson Hotel And Conference Center 3 star Staunton 24 South Market Street, Staunton, VA 24401 Room Cost: $60.00 (USD) Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Guests Per Room: 2 Number of Nights: 1 Room Subtotal: $60.00 (USD) Taxes and Fees: $13.83 (USD) Total Charged to Card: $73.83 (USD)

  7. My first time using BetterBidding mobile app. The Priceline window it opened had the bid already filled in, so I didn't change it. Your Offer Price: $17.00 (per day) Total Rental Days: 5 days Subtotal: $85.00 Taxes and Fees: $23.45 Total Charges: $108.45 Lowest Published Price: $320.97 (USD)You saved 66%
  8. Ended up buying a Groupon for the Liki Tiki Village Resort for $79 a night in a two bedroom condo for a total of $267. Don't know if there is a resort fee added to that. Hope to have warm weather to enjoy the wave pool, water slides and paddle boats!
  9. Please best guess which hotel is this? Perhaps Mystic Dunes Resort. How does Priceline handle their 2 adult accommodation limit when, in fact, I'm choosing a 2 bedroom condo? Guest Score: Rated 8.0 out of 10 (or higher) Guaranteed Amenities: Outdoor Swimming Pool Restaurant Business Center Fitness Center Condo Check In: Thu Oct 17, 2013 Check Out: Sun Oct 20, 2013 Rooms: All rooms will accommodate up to 2 adults. Choose Bed: $116 per night Two Bedroom Villa Full Kitchen Washer Dryer Ac Catv Spa Tub In Room Safe Phone W Vm Patio Started search through the PRICELINE link. Thanks for your help!
  10. Thanks very much for the reply. I'm going to stick with my reservation at Radisson Inn Celebration, since I got a great price using an online sale. It will cost me $10 more per day than this Priceline Express Deal, and won't feature breakfast, but I can cancel up to the day of travel and I like their pools. Wish me luck, since Radisson is renovating.
  11. Please, what hotel is this? Guest Score: Rated 7.0 out of 10 (or higher) Guaranteed Amenities: Free Breakfast Free Internet in room Outdoor Swimming Pool Free Parking Business Center Fitness Center The screen allows five choices among room and bed type (which strangely include the word Hotwire in the descriptions!). The disclaimer says the property charges a resort fee of $3.50 a night. Thought it could be the Clarion Suites Maingate, but called the hotel and clerk said no resort fee is charged, only taxes. Searched using the HOTWIRE link and thanks a bunch for your help!
  12. Bid once for 3* at $55, using the board link and applying "Summer" coupon. Priceline offered an immediate rebid if I raised to $66. Instead, I added South Staunton zone and bid $60. Accepted by the Stonewall Jackson Hotel. 1 room, 1 night Offer Price: $60.00 Taxes and Fees: 13.84 Coupon Offer: -$3.00 Total Charge: $70.84 Great location!
  13. Just saw your question... The $104 was the TOTAL price for the two night stay at the Galleria Palms, where I would not have a "resort" fee (vs. $115 total after the Holiday Inn resort fee is added). Since I never stayed at Galleria Palms, I don't know if their property is as nice. They advertised an included breakfast, which the Holiday Inn does not offer and I had to buy elsewhere. But we definitely made the best of it, and enjoyed the quiet comfort at the Holiday Inn.
  14. Used the board PRICELINE link and started bidding at $50; no deal. Upped it to $55; no deal. Went to $58 and scored. This renovated hotel was great, with a great front desk staff, nice lobby, and a giant guest room that included a microwave and mini-fridge. Really great place for a family stay. Offer Price: $58.00 Rooms: 1 Nights: 1 Room Subtotal: $58.00 Taxes & Fees: $13.60 Total Charged to Card: $71.60 Tried again for the next night but won a different property and posted separately.
  15. First try offer and acceptance. Love this place for the location and the lobby! Used the board link. Offer Price: $61.00 Rooms: 1 Nights: 1 Room Subtotal: $61.00 Taxes & Fees: $13.86 Total Charged to Card: $74.86
  16. I can't really say whether this Holiday Inn was a better value than the Galleria Palm where I cancelled my reservation, but there is a lot to like at this hotel. The room was huge and quiet with nice bedding, elegant tile work and the towels were very fluffy. The free shuttle to Disney ran on time and saved parking fees. Only drawback is the darn "resort fee!" I'll bet the front desk hears about it over and over.... Pretty nice stay for around $60 a night.
  17. Through your PRICELINE link, I bid 2.5* starting at $30; received counter offer to raise to $40. Added Castleberry zone and rebid $32. Received counter offer to raise to $40. Waited 24 hours and bid 2.5* at $36; received counter offer to raise to $40. Added Castleberry and rebid $37 with "successful" upgrade win at 3* level. Rats! That means a resort fee of $12 a day and no free breakfast. This upgrade COSTS me money over my backup reservation at Galleria Palms for $104. At least the free Disney park shuttle has better hours and maybe we'll prefer this Holiday Inn pool. Holiday Inn Resort Lake Buena Vista 13351 State Rd 535, Lake Buena Vista, FL 32821 Check-In: Tue, Dec 11, 2012 Check-Out: Thu, Dec 13, 2012 Rooms: 1 room Summary of Charges Offer Price: $37.00 Rooms: 1 Nights: 2 Room Subtotal: $74.00 Taxes & Fees: $17.48 Total: $91.48 Best price on the hotel website is $180 for this stay, but would include a free certificate for a one-night future stay as part of a current promotion. I have mixed feelings about this "win."
  18. Well, the party I was traveling with ended up booking at Caribe Cove for a 3-bedroom condo for three nights at a nightly rate varying from $88 to $109 plus additional $75 cleaning fee. Total cost around $445 after taxes. Booked directly with the management and received a comfortable unit in Bldg one with a north view of pine forest. Easy check in, very quiet and our only problems were tiny sugar ants in the kitchen, an ice maker that was frozen in a solid block of ice and a master bath exhaust fan that did not function.
  19. Searched for four adults. Please help identify this $55 property with the following amenities: Resort Suite 2 Bedroom Suite Fully-equipped Kitchen Smoke Free Rooms Air-Conditioning Washer and Dryer in Room Children's Activity Program Fitness Center Pool(s) Business Center Front Desk 24-hour Front Desk Golf Nearby Free Parking Free Breakfast Tennis Nearby Condo Also, for condo wins, is there any warning of extra cleaning fees associated with shorter condo stays? Does Hotwire have to reveal these added costs, like they do "resort" fees? Thanks!
  20. Liked it enough to bid again for a room on the night of our return trip. Used the PRICELINE link and bid 2.5* in Lake Norman at $44; Priceline countered with an offer to let me bid again if I raised it by $16. I closed the browser, bid Mooresville (because I also liked the properties there) for $48. Rejected. Added Lake Norman and bid $50; accepted. Best Western Plus Huntersville Inn & Suites 13830 Statesville Road, Charlotte, NC 28078 | 704-875-7880 Check-In: Tues, Aug 28, 2012 / After 03:00 PM Check-Out: Wed, Aug 29, 2012 / 11:00 AM Rooms: 1 room Offer Price: $50.00 Rooms: 1 Nights: 1 Room Subtotal: $50.00 Taxes: $8.82 Fees: $7.86 Total $66.68 We had a quiet, enjoyable stay two days earlier, and were happy to win this property again. Both times we enjoyed a clean room, very friendly front desk person and the refreshing pool. Breakfast was typical fare ranging from biscuits with sausage gravy, to boiled eggs and Belgian waffles. Comfortable beds and the stay is well worth the bid price. Thanks, BetterBidding!!!
  21. Used the PRICELINE link and bid $55 for 2.5* in Mooresville; rejected. Opened a new browser and bid $50 for 2.5* in Lake Norman - Huntersville; accepted. Best Western Plus Huntersville Inn & Suites 13830 Statesville Road, Charlotte, NC 28078 | 704-875-7880 Check-In: Sun, Aug 26, 2012 / After 03:00 PM Check-Out: Mon, Aug 27, 2012 / 11:00 AM Rooms: 1 room Offer Price: $50.00 Rooms: 1 Nights: 1 Room Subtotal: $50.00 Taxes: $8.82 Fees: $7.86 Total $66.68 Best available rate online $80 ($110 by the time you add the taxes). Gets pretty decent reviews; should be fine for one night. Thanks, BetterBidding!
  22. Used the PRICELINE link and my first bid was $56; offer accepted. 3* Stonewall Jackson Hotel And Conference Center 24 South Market Street, Staunton, VA 24401 Offer Price: $56.00 Check-In: Mon, Aug 27, 2012 / After 04:00 PM Check-Out: Tue, Aug 28, 2012 / 12:00 PM Rooms: 1 Nights: 1 Room Subtotal: $56.00 Taxes & Fees: $13.53 Total: $69.53 Hurray! Thank you BetterBidding! The three-star choice appeared as guaranteed amenities pool, pet friendly, restaurant, fitness center, free internet and business center with customer satisfaction 9+.
  23. Lowest price on Marriott website was $199, and lowest price through AAA was $159, plus taxes. This is a great hotel win with significant savings. Definitely looking forward to a relaxing and comfortable stay. This board ROCKS!
