1st bid. Bid for 3.5 stars but got the 4* Hyatt. $57 bid, total $73.18

Sorry, thought I got it all in the thread title, but apparently it was truncated. This was the Courtyard by Marriott, Folsom. Nice place, have stayed here several times.

Added 2 more nights at same rate, total stay 5 days.

Catching up, posting some previous travel. Got this property and was very pleased. $55+$10 tax/fees per night. Hotel was very accomodating re requested room type. Extended the stay and added a 2nd room at same rate.

Got this property for $75 on Sun 1/24 for 1 night. We loved the place and extended an extra day thru Priceline. Just now bid the same 4* for $70 and got the same hotel for tomorrow. Hopefully we will get to keep the same room. Off season and the place is pretty dead but a great deal at this price.

I just checked in to a Marriott Courtyard (Pensacola, FL) that I booked on PRICELINE. When I asked the desk clerk if he had a king room available, he said "they (meaning Priceline) say we cannot change a Priceline reservation once it comes in. If you want a special room type you have to request it through Priceline". I have heard this same spiel from one other property, don't remember if it was another Marriott or not. On the other hand I have stayed at other Marriott properties through Priceline and have never had this problem. When I tried to explain that there is no way to request a specific room type through Priceline, and that I had stayed at other Marriott properties through Priceline without this isue, I just got a shrug. What's the deal with these people, are they that clueless, or are they just trying not to be accomodating?

3 nights, 1/11-1/14

Got the Airtel for today (1/11) for nights for $55. Didn't try anything lower.
