Free Breakfast Free Internet (in Public Area) Free Parking Pet Friendly Indoor Pool Non-Smoking Gym Handicap Accessible Business Center

PRICELINE EXPRESS Free Internet Bed Choice Business Center Fitness Center Non Smoking Pets Allowed Total cost is $239.97. I tried naming my own price for 3 1/2*, but quit at $194, when the total cost would have exceeded the total cost for the cheapest available hotel, which was a 5* at $198 (which I assumed to be the Intercontinental). I went with this 4* instead because of the free internet.

I bid in $5 increments from $150 to $220. Switched and took the Regency on Hotwire for $216, when the PL total was going to be higher than HW's total. See my post on the Maine Hotwire forum for more information. Of course, I used the Priceline and HOTWIRE links.

Free Internet, Airport Shuttle, Restaurants(s), Spa Services. With $10.31/room cancellation insurance and other fees, the total was $258/room. Regular rate $289; AARP/AAA: $284. The Regency is a 4* on Priceline. I noticed 2 things. first, the cancellation insurance was $5/room on PL, while it was twice as much on HW. Also, the other fees and taxes were higher on HT than on PL. I bid on in $5 increments on PL up to $220 for a 4*, and switched to HW when the total on PL was going to be higher than HW's total. I used the Priceline and HOTWIRE links

This is from a trip I made during the summer; I am just getting around to posting it. I made multiple bids over the course of several days, but I don't remember my exact bid history. Fees and taxes of $76.50 brought the total for two nights to $346.50 ($173.25 per night). I used the PRICELINE link from this site.

First bid. I made this bid the night before I was going to stay there. Taxes and fees of $11.31 brought the total to $53.31. I used the PRICELINE link on this site.

I incorrectly put 3.5 * in the title. This was actually a 2.5 * bid. First Bid I used this site's PRICELINE link. Your Offer Price: $43.00 Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 1 Subtotal: $43.00 Taxes and Fees: $11.55 Total Charges*: $54.55

I had $3/day bonus cash, so I tried this bid ($12 + $3 Bonus Cash) this morning and got rejected. Then this afternoon, I got an email, saying "Our apologies. We had a glitch in our negotiating tactics this morning, which caused your bonus cash to not work. Everything is good to go now so please redeem your bonus cash coupon." I tried the same bid again, and it was accepted. Offer Price Summary Bonus Cash Per Day: $3.00 (USD) (per day) Your Offer Price Per Day: $12.00 (USD) (per day) Total Offer Price with Bonus: $15.00 (USD) (per day) Total Charges to Your Credit Card Your Offer Price: $12.00 (per day) Total Rental Days: 4 days(3 days and 16 hours) Subtotal: $48.00 Taxes and Fees: $34.90 Total Charges: $82.90 I would have used the PRICELINE link on this site, but I was unable to use it with the bonus cash.

First Bid I used the PRICELINE link on the board. The only room style that this hotel apparently gives for Priceline bids is one with two double beds. I called and asked if I could put in a preference for a King bed, but I told me that since I got my room from Priceline, I could only get a room with two double beds. I was told the same thing when I asked again at check-in.
