Memphis_Guy Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 I know there's no way to guarantee things, but I was hoping for the Legacy Hotel in Rockville. Free parking, free internet, and less than 3 minutes from the 4* Marriott in North Bethesda, where there is a conference I'm attending. I had no desire to stay in a 3.5* or 4* hotel because it's more expensive and they ding you for every little extra. So I was shooting for 3* in Rockville, 3 minutes away. Danged if I didn't get the 3.5* hotel across the street from the Legacy. No free parking. No free internet. But still saved about $80 total off of what I would have paid for 2 rooms for 2 nights at the Marriott at their very lowest internet rate. So I count it as a win.Bid $50 for 3* in Rockville. Fail.Bid $56 for 3* in Rockville and Camp Springs (they have no 3 star hotels on Priceline). Fail.Bid $62 for 3* in Rockville, Camp Springs, and Upper Marlboro (they also have no 3 star hotels on Priceline). Fail.Logged off, cleared my cookies and cache, logged in again through a different account.Bid $65 for 3* in Rockville. Fail.Bid $68 for 3* in Rockville and Camp Springs. WIN! @ 3.5 starsThey actually "congratulated" me because they were upgrading me to 3.5 stars. Whoop-dee-doo. Thanks.$15/day to park$10/day for Internet.
