bacardi Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Used your PRICELINE link above!Hilton St. Petersburg BayfrontSt. Petersburg333 First Street SouthSaint Petersburg, Florida 33701 Seeing that other people have bid $44 and lost, rebid $45 and win, with this being on independence day I figured I'd start at $45 and got it.2 night subtotal: $90.00Taxes & Fees: $19.39Total Charges*: $109.30If booked through the Hilton site, including taxes would be $246.29/night.There is a $12 self-parking per day fee...Take what I'm about to say with a grain of salt as things always change...I called and was told they normally give priceliners two double beds but was kind enough to switch it to a king without any problem. It is $12 self-parking per day but it is free on-street parking on weekends...However was told they CAN start ticketing at 6am on Monday morning. She also said finding a free weekend spot can be difficult. They also have a free shuttle service that goes to and from the hotel to Tropicana field. Link to comment

bacardi Posted July 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Overall very nice experience. Good room, had a chair and ottoman, Internet was not free, they charge $15/day for fridges. The parking lot was full Sunday night as it was independence day. We had to park next door at the parking garage for $5, only problem was it had to be out of the garage by 6am or risk getting a ticket. The Hilton staff was kind enough to refund us parking, $24 for the two nights. But it was an unfortunate experience as we had planned to paint the town red but now one of us had to be sober to drive from the garage to the hilton...It was a holiday, not the Hilton's fault.We were told by another guest they always have a $89.95 ball play special, have to google a promo code, where you get is free parking (save $12), $20 Rays cash which can only be used at the stadium (didn't ask if they could be used on tickets) and a buffet breakfast for two (save $30). If a hot breakfast buffet is important and it's only one night, it appears you save $12 over priceline. We may go that route in late august for one night and bid on st pete beach or clearwater beach for the rest of the time. Link to comment
