Priceline Hotel: Resort San El San Juan

[biddingIsFun]

I'm going on a mileage run to Puerto Rico and need to stay there for a night. Started bidding on Price.ine on Resort level at $60 and worked my way up in $5 increments. $75 was accepted by El San Juan, Waldorf Astoria Collection.

I'm reading mixed reviews about this hotel, so anyone who can say something good about it will be appreciated :)

BTW, how does the hotel calculate the resort fee on a PRICELINE bid ? The hotel web page says the resort fee is 14% on the hotel rate... do they use my (low) Priceline rate or the rack rate ?

Thanks,

Dennis

PS: used forum link to access PRICELINE, of course :)

Congrats on your success. :)

Superb deal for this resort property! Hope you are looking forward to your stay. Not sure regarding resort rate, but I would have to believe that it's likely based upon your rate.

Thank you for sharing your win and using the site's PRICELINE link.

Enjoy your stay.

I'll specualte that the resort fee will be based upon PRICELINE's rate.

Just in case anyone was curious about the answer to my question: they compute the resort fee based on Priceline's rate. I paid $10.50, which is exactly 14% of my winning bid. This suggests that Priceline paid $75 for the room as well.

Thanks for the info.
