Priceline Hotel: 3.5* New Orleans (Metairie-Harahan) Sheraton

[fourholesn1]

I bid $30 for a 3* in the Metairie - Harahan zone rejected, added New Orleans East re-bid zone bid $33 rejected, added Garden District re-bid zone bid $36 rejected. Started over and bid $37 for a 3.5* in the Metairie - Harahan zone rejected. Waited 24 hours and during that period received a $50 Bonus Cash coupon from Priceline so I then bid $35 and with the coupon it added $10 to $45 in the Metairie - Harahan zone for 3* and won a 3.5*. Nice hotel but no free breakfast or internet. I'll never understand why you pay more for a better hotel and then you don't get free breakfast or internet. I say Boycott all hotels that don't have free breakfast and internet!! :)

Congratulations on your success and thank you for sharing your win with the board.

Just like free hi-speed internet, an included complimentary breakfast is an amenity more common at the lower star rating then the upper star ratings, as each is trying to attract a different customer. Many guests at higher rated hotels are business customers who don't think twice about additional charges for breakfast, internet, mini-bar, etc as it will be expensed to their company, so the hotel sees this as an additional source of revenue.
