btw - won this same hotel last year via priceline for around $90

parking at hotel is expense $20 per 24-hr window

:)

and not even at hotel, but across the mini street at the convention center

if not driving daily, park a few blocks away at a casino for $5 per stay

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Congratulations on your success!

Glad to see you received the hotel you were hoping for and that you're happy with the results. I think i would have sooner used re-bid zones (see Priceline Re-Bidding Explained if you're not familiar with re-bidding) instead of changing the dates so that you didn't have to rely on PRICELINE's "extend your stay option".

Thank you for sharing your win with the board.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Enjoy your stay.

Which casino parking lot is closest to the Sheraton? Is casino parking $5 per day or $5 per visit? I don't plan to move my car during our visit, so this could be much cheaper. I agree that $20/day is too much for parking when the room is only $70.

It is 5 dollars a stay not a day if you are a gold member. Pretty decent if you ask me.

five bucks is a nice rate, but have you done the walk to the Sheraton from Caesars or Trump at 1:00 AM?

LOL, i know what you are implying but I dont think a majority of the posters here are of that age group to be up at those hours, if you find yourself in this category I advise Atlantic City street walking at these hours is dangerous and an invitation to crime.

[fakenamejack]

no, i have not done the walk and do not plan to EVER do it

that's why i plan to park at whichever casino is $5 per STAY and leave it for a few days

i do plan to move it daily within the garage so that it does not appear forgotten and appealing to car theif

just got back

still a nice hotel but some hiccups at the front desk

priceline books the "extend a night" option as a separate reservation so you have to check out at the end of your original and then check in under the new/additional reservation

not a problem this time however the clerk said if the are full they may have you move room

i think thats wrong

also priceline books a regular/basic room

i called ahead to request a mini fridge but of course it was not ready when we checked in

so i bitched and got an upgrade to the room that has the "nicer" decor, mini frdige and microwave, and ipod clock/radio

all in all

a good deal via priceline

but not worth regular rates
