shar1 Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Similar to one of the earlier posts about Sandusky, OH, I bid $40 in the Milan-Norwalk and received the offer for 2 nights stay. Thanks BetterBidding.com for providing this information. Used the PRICELINE link to begin the bidding. Link to comment
shar1 Posted July 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Please let me know a way to edit the heading of the post. I am not sure how to split the information about the price and dates in the sub heading of the post. Any help is appreciated. The edit does not appear to work for headings Link to comment

theduffster Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 shar1, I hope you enjoyed your visit! We were there the same weekend.We found the hotel to be just so-so, the breakfast was terrible, but what really sucked was how the hotel ran my AMEX card, for what I thought would be incidental charges, and then my card showed a charge of $66!They told me that it was for payment. :) :) They explained that when I won my Priceline bid, that my payment goes to Priceline, who then turns around and pays the hotel. They said that Priceline never paid them-huh??-so, when they swiped my card, that was to be for payment. So now I have 2 credit charges, one used for Priceline back in June, showing the winning bid for this hotel, and one showing a charge direct to the hotel, that the hotel claims is for payment. I'm disputing the charge from the card that was swiped at the desk. It just doesn't make sense that Priceline didn't pay them!Incidentally, we found the hotel to be just okay. The hot tub didn't work. The breakfast was one of the worst we've ever had at a hotel. Watery coffee and watery juices!! Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 I'm disputing the charge from the card that was swiped at the desk.You can probably resolve this with one phone call to PRICELINE... i'd try that route first if you haven't already done so.Sorry this hotel wasn't up to your expectations, hope your future stays work out better (and without double charges :) ) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
theduffster Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 I'm in touch with Priceline, the problem lies in that we foolishly used 2 credit cards. One to pay Priceline, and a different one that was swiped at the desk for incidental charges. Priceline only sees the one that we used for payment. The hotel told them that they did not charge the card that was swiped at the desk, and of course, Priceline believes them. I have an email from Priceline that says that the hotel told them that they didn't charge the card at the front desk.But, they did charge the card at the desk. I sent Priceline a copy of the statement and they're looking into it further.It's just discouraging that the hotel told me that they never got their $$ from Priceline, so that's why they charged the card at check-in, then they lied to Priceline and told them that they didn't charge me any extra, and Priceline believed them. I'm going to get in touch with Choice Hotels about the way the front desk staff handled this later. Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Sorry to hear it's more involved then originally thought, however, i'm fairly certain it's something that will eventually be resolved.Good luck.
