Read other users had been winning this hotel around $44. Bid $40 was rejected with at counter at $47. Added Algonquin since there are no 3* there and raised to $42. Bid was accepted. Total price was $54.50 with taxes and fees. Hotel is somewhat renovated. Pool is closed for the season. Small weight room. Big TV, lots of channels. Microwave and refrigerator. SleepNumber bed. Restaurant and bar. Free internet. Staff has been nice. Includes free breakfast that other reviews have said is pretty good and goes until 11am on the weekends. Great value for the price. The are Merjers and Walmasrt Superstore a couple blocks away if you want inexpensive groceries. Good value for the money. I probably saved $10 to $20 by reading the board and finding and seeing winning bids on a good hotel with breakfast included. This board is very useful.

Express Deal 2* that indicated Free Parking, Free Internet, Free Breakfast. I wanted something cheap with internet included. Breakfast is grab and go-- coffee, hot chocolate, muffins etc. Other three stars were about $15 more and you might have to pay for extra for internet. I checked the Boards and was pretty sure this Express Deal was the Extended Stay. The Hotel was remodeled 11/2012, so the rooms are updated. I just need a clean room, quiet room with internet access to do some work so this works for me. Total with fees and taxes is $45.56. I have done three Express Deals over the past year. Other times I have bid. I am pretty pleased with the Express Deals.

3* PRICELINE EXPRESS Deal for $51 Schaumburg. This was listed as a three star Express Deal for $51.00. There was a a 5% coupon available. Total with taxes and fees $63.20. I have stayed at this hotel many times. I like the convenience, quality of the hotel, large rooms, nice big screen flat panel tvs, great air conditioning, free breakfast, a pool, and free wifi. It has other amenities as well. Location next to the Woodfield Mall with tons of restaraunts and shopping. I am pleased. The posted rate on Priceline was $74.00 plus taxes. Thanks PRICELINE and Better Bidding. .

Was hoping for something better. Recent reviews on TripAdvisor very negative about this hotel. Bid $54 per night since it is Spring Break. Offer was accepted on first bid. :) Four nights $54 per night $254 with taxes and fees. I do not see the Holiday Inn Sun Spree in the Hotel List. You might want to add it. Priceline 3* Orlando Lake Buena Vista area. Address on the confirmation is: Holiday Inn Sunspree Lake Buena Vista 13351 State Rd 535 Lake Buena Vista, FL 32821

Hotwire under the St. Petersburg FL has an area C on its map title just St. Petersburg. I cannot seem to find that area in the hotel list. Hotwire is offerin a 3* hotel in that area with gym, pool, business center, internet for $53 on 3/24/ to 3/25. Any help on identifying this hotel? Why can't I find this area in the hote list? What areas are before it and after in the hotel list? Thanks.

Cleverduck--I concur with you. In this electronic age, it is rediculous that the resort fee is not factored in. Plus, those locations that charge $10 to $12 per day. Just ask, do you need parking, and bid it that way a room plus one parking space for $X dollar. Or some hotels in the area have resort fees, what is your bid for the room plus the resort fess $XXX. If one hotel has a $10.00 resort fee and another $3.00, you might stay at the latter hotel. Thus, Priceline does a disservice to the hotels with the lowest all in cost with a lower resort fee. Plus, it upsets a lot of its customers. It is easy enough to fix. Hope Priceline and Hotwire get the message and change this bidding with resort fees and parking.
