Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Ocala Fairfield Inn Ocala

[relaxing41]

while my bid was $46, I had $4 bonus dollars so it was $50 with the bonus money. The taes and fees are higher because they are based on a $50 bid, while priceline pays for the $4 increase per day, you are responsible for the taes that increasing the bid incurrs. (a bit sneaky but fair)

Room Cost (avg. per room, per night): $46.00 (USD)

Number of Rooms: 1

Number of Nights: 5

Room Subtotal: $230.00 (USD)

Taxes and Fees: $32.95 (USD)

Total Room Cost: $262.95 (USD)

I wanted to extend the nights from my priceline winning bid at the Holiday inn epress but when I chose that option PRICELINE increased my bid to $70/night and with taes and fees 4 nights was $339 or close to that. I guess if I really needed not to move I would have taken it but since savings is more important than staying in one place, I had my daughter get up and move to the net property.. Bids up to $54 were not accepted at either the 3 star level ocala or the 2.5 star level silver springs, for 2 star Ocala south , when i bid 47, i was requested to raise my bid $15-$58, and I declined. thank goodness since it was only 2 star properties and I got to that page without double checking. I then used both Ocala and Silver springs 2.5 and 3 star and finally got this bid accepted after the four nights at $45 with $4 bonus was rejected. I think the dates are key. It seems that in Silver springs you can get a room easier mon-thur but then have to try Ocala for the weekend. Bids on more than one night are harder to get than bids for one night at a time. (just my observations). I really wanted the Holiday inn Conference (3*) in Ocala to try out those temperpedic beds... maybe next time. its for my daughter so she just better appreciate it. I like that breakfast is included and that it is only 8 miles down the road from the hotel she is currently at.

Of course I used your PRICELINE link to do my bidding and winning!
