Priceline Hotel: 3* Harrisburg-York (Harrisburg) Four Points

[grram1]

Originally was targetting a 3.5* (Sheraton) in area, but after failed bids up to $95 changed strategy to go after 3*. Used multiple free rebid zones, and raised bid by $1/time after getting offer for "one time" re-bid if I would add $15 to a $50 bid... wound up winning it at $55. This one gets mostly poor reviews on Tripadvisor... we're hoping we are the exception. I will say that I was a bit disappointed when I called to request a room with 2 beds, and they wouldn't even make a note on the reservation of the request. I understand 100% that it's the hotels peragative to assign whatever room they want to... but in dozens of opaque wins 90% of the time they will grant the request over the phone (or via. e-mail)... and when they can't, they will normally at least note the request on the reservation... this is the first time I've ever simply been told they could do nothing... not even make a note on the reservation :) . We've been able to get what we wanted about 95% of the time when using PRICELINE... and on the rare exeptions the hotel has normally been very graicious (and has offered extra bedding, etc.)... so even if this one doesn't work out well... it will be the exception... Here's to hoping for the best.

It was in the plain "Harrisburg" zone... not in the East or or West Harrisburg zones.
