  1. PRICELINE winning bid was $52+ for a Tuesday (5/13/08). Zinged an extra $10+ for a 2nd bed (or nonsmoking, not sure which request resulted in the charge). Hotel Review is in appropriate spot.
  2. Priceline winning bid was $52+ for a Tuesday (5/13/08). Property appears to be new, clean, and price/performance is good. Pool open till 10p, "Fitness Center" is off the pool and didn't look very fancy. Wired and wireless internet without any sort of authentication required. Microwave, frig. Zinged an extra $10+ for a 2nd bed (or nonsmoking, not sure which request resulted in the charge) which is annoying but a Priceline "feature" -- these "amenities" are not guaranteed. While the absolute $$ wasn't a lot, it represented about 20% for an "upgrade" which costs the property nothing.
  3. Initial greeting was their marquis, stating Rooms $59 -- then adding "and up". Oh, for minimum 4 nights. After several minutes waiting for my wife to check in, I parked the car and went in to see what was going on. There's just one clerk, and a difficult client ahead of my wife. "We can only get two beds if we pay another 25% per night" (we bought on Priceline, so they clearly aren't booked up). The clerk is adamant: "that's what you booked". Actually, Priceline only guarantees a king OR 2 x queen bed, not your choice. They've got both: they just have no interest in pleasing a customer -- even when there's no additional cost to them. Wireless access is available, but only through the lobby, although this is Silicon Valley, wireless signals abound. More pleasantries:bed sheets hanging over the balconies, loud music from the room next door being serviced. Oh, and don't eat all their cookies! (sign: "only two cookies per person, please!") Customers paying cash for their rooms will need to fork out cash deposits for the phone and video, $25 and $45 respectively. Most of our experiences with Priceline rooms have been great price-performance. I'd give this property a miss.
