thereuare Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Congratulations on your win!Sorry to hear the unavailability of the HOTWIRE offer messed upon your bidding strategy, but 'all is well that ends well' and it certainly appears that this worked out nicely for you when it was all said and done. I'm not sure which 2* HOTWIRE property you were considering, but for an extra $10 i think the Hyatt Place is likely a substantial upgrade. These properties are recently converted Amerisuites so the rooms should be 'fresh' and in pretty good shape.Thank you for sharing your win with the board and using our PRICELINE link to begin your bidding.Enjoy your stay.

baconzb Posted November 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 I messed up the dates...it was only for 1 night from nov 7-nov 8th.BTW...I'm here right now at the Hyatt Place and it is NICE!!! 42'' plasma with HD channels and it's all new. Also, I hate staying at nice places and then they nickel and dime you for extras (internet, bfast). This place has free wireless, free shuttle to airport, and free b-fast. I'm super impressed and probably my most satisfying win ever. Thanks for the board! I've been traveling a lot lately for graduate school interviews and have converted at least 3 ppl to use the board in the last week. hopefully more will come! Link to comment
