Using the PRICELINE link i got: Room Cost (avg. per room, per night): $46.00 (USD) Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 1 Room Subtotal: $46.00 (USD) Taxes and Fees: $13.62 (USD) Total Room Cost: $59.62 (USD) I picked $46 as a starting.. however there's another post that someone got it for $42 for a stay on 6/25/10. YMMV. Extra info: No free Internet in the rooms. They have free Wifi in the lobby and do have a few computers you can use in the Lobby as well. The rooms have DSL modems (non-wireless) but if you connect to them they will charge $9.99 per day for "regular" internet, and $12.99 for "VPN" internet. "VPN" means you have a static IP address (which 99% of people don't need). Since there's no wireless in the rooms, the supplied ethernet cable is about 3ft, so bring your own longer one (or a wireless router) if you want to surf from the bed. You get a warm free cookie at check in.

Thanks... If you win this hotel, make sure you bring your swimsuit. It has a heated indoor pool. On the flip side, if you don't like smelling a whiff of chlorine, then stay away.

I started at $36 and failed. Moved to $41 that I won back in Dec 09 and was accepted.

They don't charge those fees if you pay the full $200 per night price -- only if you do PRICELINE. I've only started using Priceline and it seems that the front desk people at most hotels treat you differently.

4* Phoenix (Scottsdale) Hilton Scottsdale Resort and Villas Bid for 10/16 and 10/17 on the same day. Got $40 no problem. The cheapest the website has is for $200. Just a few extra things about this hotel. They are nickel and dimeing you for everything to keep an eye out. They will tell you that you used PRICELINE when you go to check-in. The guy said it in kinda of mocking way like I was scum. Extra Charges: $10 per day if you want a Kingsize bed. (they give you two queens normally) $9.95 per day for internet access in your room. They do have about six computers in the lobby if you want to surf the web for free. $12.95 if you want to use the gym. The lady at the front desk conveniently forgot to tell us this, as did the lady at the gym. The TV is an older one -- not flat panel like most modern hotels. The scale in the bathroom was broken, but for a second I thought I had lost 20 pounds!
