This is a new hotel and should be added to the list Room Cost: $60.00 Number of Nights: 2 Room Subtotal: $120.00 Taxes and Fees: $24.66 Total Room Cost: $144.66 PRICELINE EXPRESS DEALS was offering a 2* room for $66 a night in Dupont Circle - Woodley Park Area with restaurant and business center listed as amenities. Based on a bit of investigating, I suspect it would have been for the same hotel.

Room Subtotal: $60.00 Taxes and Fees: $17.43 Total Room Cost: $77.43 This is a new hotel and should be added to the master list. The title of the post should be fixed to reflect the name of the hotel. It is: Radisson Hotel & Suites Cleveland-Eastlake

you might want to check carefully what the dates of the festival are. i'm finding conflicting info online, but take a look at this site in spanish saying that the festival this year is from Jan 12th until Jan 15th: http://sansepr.ning.com/

btw, does betterbidding benefit when I use the referral when conducting searches on priceline or only when a bid is accepted?

very helpful, thereuare. thank you! learned something new... hope to put it to good practice in the future.

extended for two days after. the cost for the two extra days was identical as for the first two days. my understanding is that when choosing the "extended your stay option" you are locked in to the same exact rate as your winning bid and they can only award you the same exact hotel (so there's no risk of switching hotels). i suspected that the extension is restricted to the same number of days of the original win (with the exception that the total number of days not exceed a certain number of days). i had no idea that that rule existed, and did not want to post that that was the reason for the limitation without some confirmation from seasoned users. you learn the hard way, but will make the most of it anyway!

subtotal: $90 taxes and fees: $18.14 total: $108.14 location is ok, but apparently there is very limited parking. i'm pretty sure this is way over-priced for a 2* hotel (if not for festival season) this is a bad break. my hotel stay is during the san sebastian festival and was hoping for the howard johnson in old san juan. ultimately, new hotels are added from time to time...and we as customers help each other out by documenting this. so, moderator, please add this hotel to the master list.

2 night subtotal: $480 taxes and fees: $67.72 total: $547.72 my guess is that the taxes and fees do not include the mandatory %14 resort fee (which in my case comes out to $67.20, or slightly less if the room rate that priceline pays the hotel is less than my $110 bid). parking and internet each cost around $15 per day. Moderator, you should change the master list to reflect the current designation for the zone where this hotel is located. It is: San Juan (Rio Grande - Fajardo - El Yunque), instead of San Juan (Rio Grande - Humacao). Humacao is a separate zone at this point from Rio Grande.

2 night subtotal: $220 taxes and fees: $34.72 total: $254.72 my guess is that the taxes and fees do not include the mandatory %14 resort fee (which in my case comes out to $30.80, or slightly less if the room rate that priceline pays the hotel is less than my $110 bid). parking costs around $15 per day, and i believe that internet is free. PS: I successfully extended this for two extra days. Interestingly, priceline only gave me the option to attempt a 1 or 2 day extension and did not give me an option to attempt a longer extension.

Room Subtotal: $50 Taxes and Fees: $15 Total Room Cost: $65

This seems to be a new rating (on the hotel list it says that it is a 3* rather than 3.5*), and looking through other recent successful bids there are at least another two that list it as a 3.5*, so the moderators might want to change that on the hotel list... Room Cost: $65.00 Room Subtotal: $195.00 Taxes and Fees: $38.40 Total Room Cost: $233.40 Just recently found out about this message board where members don't get yelled at! glad to join... plan on using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links in the future.
