Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Wenatchee-Yakima (Wenatchee) La Quinta

[Neelee]

I tried bidding this area for March and was not successful. I have another "opportunity" to go to Wenatchee in May and won, but not at the original 3* as I had hoped

Bidding Date: 03/11/05 for Friday May 13, 2005 to Sunday, May 15, 2005

Bid $45 Wenatchee Area - 3* - REJECTED

Bid $47 Yakima Area - REJECTED (Free rebid because highest in Yakima is 2.5*)

Bid $49 Wenatchee Area - 2.5* ACCEPTED

La Quinta Inn & Suites Wenatchee

1905 N Wenatchee Ave

Wenatchee, WA 98801

Phone: (509)664-6565

Priceline lists this as a 2.5*, however TripAdvisor, Expedia, Orbitz, Hotels.com and Roomsaver.com lists it as a 2* hotel.

Total with Priceline fees/taxes = $114.84

Lowest rates found for the same time:

La Quinta website - $62.90

Expedia - $89.00 (hah! ridiculous. I have never found Expedia to be a great bargain)

Hotels.com - $67.00

Orbitz - $64.75

Roomsaver.com - $64.00

Travelocity - $61.28 (plus $17 worth of fees = $140)

Not much of a savings, but 20 bucks is 20 bucks and just enough for a nice dinner.

I realize Wenatchee is not a popular destination but perhaps this information will help someone else in the future.

This board is the greatest place for bidding help!!

Thank you for sharing it with the rest of the board and for the compliments on the site!

Not sure if it made much a difference in this bid, but for future bids it is usually recommended that IF YOU LOWER YOUR STAR QUALITY THEN LOWER YOUR BID.

Yup, I realized the error of my ways afterI hit "Submit my bid". Definitely a forehead slapping moment!
