Priceline Hotel: 2* Houston (Hobby Airport HOU) La Quinta

[DDSeeker]

1 night, March 13, 2005.

Price: $29

Taxes & Fees: $11 and change

------------------------------------

Total: $40 and change

===========================

Bid history:

2* Hobby Airport $25 -- Failed (Counteroffer for $31)

2* Hobby Airport, Clear Lake-Nassau Bay $27 -- Failed (Counteroffer for $34)

2* Hobby Airport, Clear Lake-Nassau Bay, Downtown $29 -- ACCEPTED

==================

The worst part about Priceline is that I wonder if I could have gotten it for $28. It's a game to me. There are no free re-bids for 2* in Houston, and I really wanted the Hobby Airport zone. I would have accepted anything, but the risk of getting a more distant zone made it undesirable to find the minimum price.

As always, used the Savingsbarn.com link!

Thank you very much!

It is a great game... and even if we miss by a $1 or so, it's still a great win! :)

Thanks for posting and sharing your win... and adding this hotel to our lists!

Have a great stay.

FWIW, La Quinta gave me a bill. Priceline paid $29 + taxes and made ~$7 and change on this room.

Of course this is dispositive of nothing. Perhaps La Quinta had a $28 rate out there that I missed.

Hey DDSeeker:

You were questioning whether or not you might have gotten your room for $28.00; I don't think so & here is why.

Because of your winning bid of $29.00, I tried $28.00 just to see if I would beable to get it for that.

They flat out rejected me & didn't even counter me on my $28.00 bid.

Since there are no free-re-bids for a 2*, I simply waited my 3 days & tried it again for $29.00 since you were able to get it for that.

So, I have 2 nights at $29.00 per night with fees & taxes at $17.27.

Bottom line: 2 nights for $75.27 which includes everything!!
