jackkrat Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Supposedly there's a lot of conventions this weekend ... that's what a hotel (I forget which one) told my friend who's getting married. Therefore the *special* wedding/group rate was $100+/night. Figuring that the conventions would make it impossible to get a decent rate, my wife and I were planning on staying with some other friends instead of paying the group rate. In the end, we decided to try Priceline and it paid off!This is an example of how sites like this increase revenue for hotels that have otherwise empty beds. After all, we got a hotel room instead of staying with friends. Everyone wins! Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Looks like a great deal... congratulation on your win!Was this your first bid in the zone?Glad to hear Priceline was able to come thru for you and give you a place to stay other than with friends. Is this far from the wedding venue?Enjoy your stay (and the wedding!)

jackkrat Posted March 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 It was my first bid, but I'd already received the same price/hotel for a different wedding in May. I was afraid that the "conventions" may have taken up all the rooms, but for all I know that was just a lie.As for the location, it's actually a few blocks closer than the hotel that the bride and groom reserved rooms at!
