I just won on priceline the Radisson at ROC airport for $40 Saturday night 9/22/12. It's also 3 stars.

Radisson at the airport $40 9/22/12-9/23/12

I'm an airline employee who commutes to Dulles and so I don't have a car there. I was happy to get about the same rate at this property, only to find that they don't have a shuttle to the airport :) . Figure about $15 dollars each way for a cab.

I recall getting the hotel for about $37 dollars late in 2005. The hotel itself is fairly new and not too bad at all. Small kitchenette with a bag of popcorn. Clean, lots of tv channels.

The problem is that they do not have a hotel van and they are listed as a Dulles hotel. They recommended taking a neighboring hotels van and walking. I did this which the neighboring hotel didn't approve of, and then had to walk under an underpass at night and it started to rain. Pure misery. The cab back was $15 the next am.

The "Best Price Guarantee" applies to the rate for room nights only. Promotional packages, deals, or bundles that may include additional amenities such as parking, meals, entertainment, etc. are not eligible.

So the cheapest rate (for the Spa, Food, Play)wasn't eligible for a refund, but I did get $11.49 (which included some taxes) back after an easy five minute phone call to 1800 PRICELINE. The rate difference was only $1.05 from what I paid, but she said it would have been 53 something with tax. I didn't argue.

Thanks for the tip. Love the site!

Hmmm, looks like we could have had the spa, food, and play for less still.

$25 for food, the spa, and the casino each day for a total of 79.90 through the hotels website. Now I'm kicking myself.

First bid of $51 was accepted. Bid 4 stars on the strip.

12/12/06 to 12/14/06 including fees comes to $120.39

Monte Carlo Resort and Casino

3770 Las Vegas Boulevard South

Las Vegas, Nevada 89109

702-730-7777

Then I looked at the hotels website to find their own rate is $49.95 a night for a total of $108.89

Oh well, hope we like it.
