I always give my member card when checking in. On some stays I have recieved nothing (which is not a problem). On some stays I have recieved upgrades, drink coupons and club leavel rooms.

That is a good area to be in. For places to eat you could try Firebirds Rocky Mountain Grill‎, I have not yet but some of the guys from the project say it is good. I have tried and like J Alexander's. Plus there is lots of the nation wide chains.

This is the info PL provides to hotels. www.utellportal.com/Marketing/priceline

How true! That is why I wish we had the option not to be upgrade to a higher star rating.

Since its an airport hotel if there is bad weather I would call before my flight left to remind them that I will arive late. I would be ready with my flight times and flight number.

I don't see your post from when you won this hotel. After you post the details of your win bump this then we will try to help you.

Post your dates and zones you would like.

Were you using the same computer and/or internet connection? If so it could be the IP.

If mbsone had stated they had bad experinces at HI I would have agreed but he stated it as fact when its not true. As anytime when on a PL stay I did consider myself lucky to be upgraded. It was a long stay and they hotel was at low ocupancy. Due to the great treatment I have been back for several stays book the normal way. The HI chain is not for everyone for one thing they do not offer any kind of free breakfast. Over the years a high percent of the HI hotels have not been up to standards (nice way of saying they were dumps). The brand is undergoing a major upgrade and expansion. If the older hotels don't upgrade they are being stripped of the brand. The new hotels that are being built are great here is an example of one I have stayed at three times. It is a great hotel but expensive. If you were to snag this one on PL you would be happy, but still no free breakfast. http://travela.priceline.com/travelguides/...iewID=238939070

This could be a big plus for HOTWIRE. It is a nice feature and I am sure a lot of people would use it.

Wrong! Holiday Inn does not have that as a policy. As a PRICELINE customer I have been upgraded to suites at Holiday Inn.

mbstone, I forgot about batteries in the remote. A few times I have checedk in late and the remote only worked two feet from the tv. as to number 9 that is why they put extra soap by the sink. :) :)

Until Sept I had free mini-par perks at Intercontinental Hotels. Now on my next stay at one I will have to pay thru the nose for the mini-bar.

Good one. I love a thermostate that I can set a temp and not a dial of 63% of blue is good. Great example of a small thing that really makes a hotel stay.

Black out curtains are nice!

I am curious what small things others like in a hotel stay. You know the thing that you can live without but you really like. For me it is a real glass and not a plastic one. I do wash them before I use them and recommend that you do as well. The plastic ones work but at the end of the day and I pour myself a drink I want a real glass.

Here is a 3* http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews...HECK_RATES_CONT

I have been in 3* and 4* rooms that did not have room for an air mattress. If a person is willing to take a chance and they have a backup plan then go for it. But taking a chance in a sold out city could ruin your trip.

It has been discussed many times before this on more than one forum. But please to post your wins.

Call the hotel and explain it to them and ask if they will change the date.

That is short notice.

Others on here have and saved a lot of money doing so. I also do not see where you posted your winning bid to help others. As per Our Rules and Policies: What I find amusing about your post is PL tells you that a ticket is required. When you went to make a bid you should have seen this: How many under two did you bid for? If you click on Under age 2 you get a pop up that explains the PL policy. Traveling with children? Priceline does not offer children's fares. Each ticket will be priced the same regardless of whether you name your own price or select a flight from a list of disclosed fares. Please note: all persons traveling internationally, including newborn infants, are required to obtain passports in their own name. Children Under 2 Years Old For domestic flights, infants (children under age 2) do not need their own ticket if they sit on an adult's lap. You do not need to provide us with the infant's name, but your airline will require the infant's name upon flight check-in. If you do not want your child to sit on your lap, you will need to purchase a separate ticket, and you will be required to seat the infant in an infant car seat during the flight. You are responsible for providing the infant car seat. The airlines permit only one lap infant per adult traveler. You'll need to purchase a seat for each infant exceeding the number of adult travelers. On international flights, an infant must have a ticket, even if the infant sits on an adult's lap. In addition, full standard departure, arrival, passenger, airport and security taxes apply to all infants. Looks to me that this situation is on you and not PL.

They don't see the rate that you paid but most systems allow them to see what PRICELINE paid. In some systems the cleck can not see that price. They are not supposed to pass that info on to the guest but I have seen it before. One hotel where we at we had a local corp rate, the manager showed me a PL booking that was higher than what we were paying.

Does not sound like you did much reasearch to me. I have been at five star hotels that allowed pets.

Besure to check the bidding page to ensure that you are bidding for 1 conection before submitting. My experince in DUB was that I had to clear imigration before boarding my outbound flight. Or Phili, but definatly check that very carefully before purchasing.
