Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Inland Empire (Ontario) Marriott Ontario Airport

Property keeps getting older lol. 1 attempt; need some more 3* rebid options LOL. PRICELINE link used. Many are aware of the $12 parking and $10 internet.

Congratulations on your success!

Sorry to hear the hotel is getting tired... is it worth looking at the 3* hotels in the area?

Thank you for sharing your win with the board and using our PRICELINE link to begin your bidding.

Enjoy your stay.

While this hotel lacks the amenities and niceties of the newer hotels in the area insists on sticking us with that parking fee, it still has the distinction of having the most comfortable beds in the hotel industry IMO. So in that regard, I don't mind it at all. Have a good night's sleep. :)

Have to agree with your there on the bedding - beats the Doubletree, Hilton, Sheraton & Ayres right there. Rate can't go any lower... Their fitness room has a lot of older equipment; however, for anyone using machines (15+), it'll let you hit every body part. Shower heads provide good flow, respectable channel selection (ok, the old 27" TVs can go...) and the $10 internet is at least a moderate speed (but can act up). Don't let the trains keep ya up, though LOL. The 3* Residence Inn there across from the Doubletree is a good option when you can land it - particularly for an extended stay - the breakfast is terrific for this level property.

This Marriott should continue to be available sub-$40 for most if not all of 2010, particularly with the add-on fees in place. Curious as to their break-even point these days - Marriott employee rates used to be $29 (ok, 15 years ago); however, I believe they're in the $40's now. There'll be plenty of rooms available in virtually every market around the country for quite a while methinks. For anyone wanting to avoid the parking, the Doubletree has an abundance on the back side of the convention center - still a long walk but an easy cut-through. Both the Ayres & Holiday Inn bordering Holt has plenty that are a little closer. Wasn't worth the effort but, nevertheless, it's an option for those pinchin' pennies a little tighter.

I just park at the Holiday Inn and walk over -- no problems so far, and it's right across the street.
