soccermacmom Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Just won the Four Points by Sheraton Ventura for this weekend. Through the forum's PRICELINE link, I bid $50 for a 2-1/2* hotel, hoping to get our usual Country Inn and Suites. Bid was unsuccessful, and a bit of research showed that although the Country Inn had availability, they had raised their usual price. Carpinteria was sold out (Avocado Festival) which probably put more price pressure on north Ventura. I waited 24 hours and bid $65 for a 2-1/2*, and was upgraded to the 3* Four Points Sheraton. I suspect that Country Inn was not offering Priceline rooms this weekend.This property is in a nice area, although at the opposite end of Ventura from our comfort zone. Fortunately they offer free parking and free internet, so the only loss for us is the lack of breakfast - that's easily fixed. It's good to avoid a rut, no?details:Four Points By Sheraton Ventura1050 Schooner DriveVentura, CA 93001805-658-1212 Check-In: Saturday, October 2, 2010-03:00 PMCheck-Out: Sunday, October 3, 2010-12:00 PMsummary of chargesRoom Cost (avg. per room, per night): $65.00 (USD)Number of Rooms: 1Number of Nights: 1Room Subtotal: $65.00 (USD)Taxes and Fees: $14.60 (USD)Total Room Cost: $79.60 (USD)I was offered the "extend your stay" option, but can't use it.
