Amaranthine Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I hope this is the right place to post this! I am trying to see if I can get the hotel Marriott Troy for 1/21 to 1/23 on PRICELINE or HOTWIRE. I think it's on PRICELINE's list and someone successfully got it last November for $46/night. There is no longer a 3.5* rating on Priceline for the Troy/Auburn Hills area, though, and I would prefer to be at the hotel over others if possible.Could anyone please advise how I should go ahead?

yellowdog Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Welcome to BetterBidding!The Marriott Troy is currently rated 3* by PRICELINE. It's one of four 3* hotels we have reported for the "Troy-Madison Heights" zone. And this hotel isn't reported as a HOTWIRE hotel to the board.You can't bid on a specific hotel when using PRICELINE. You have to be able to accept any hotel in the zone at the star rating (or higher) you select.Let us know how we can help you further.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Yellowdog.

Amaranthine Posted January 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I understand I can't bid on a specific hotel. If I choose Troy-Madison Heights area, there is the 3* option maximum. I think most of the bids clock in around $46. I'm still looking to see how the others compare - I'd really like the Marriott due to a function there, but the best I can do on Marriott's website is $89+tax. I figure it's worth a shot.

Amaranthine Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Bid through PRICELINE for $50, originally was going to do $46, but upped it. I got the Courtyard by Marriott. Stay 1/21 to 1/23. Link to comment

Amaranthine Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 It takes a bit of effort to locate this hotel as it is not immediately off of the freeway, tucked back on a road. A very nice property and well-worth the money, though! I didn't have any "Priceline-itis" from the reception staff, and they put me in a room on the second floor near the back of the building. It was a fair walk to the elevator but good fitness for me, and the back lot is dead silent. I didn't hear a peep out of the other guests the entire time I was there. The room itself was spacious, comfortable, and offered free DSL. I didn't try the wireless. Super bed, and very nice pool/fitness center.The only flaws are minor quibbles if you have a car - not much in the way of restaurants within walking distance, and the entrances for parking are scattered a bit haphazardly in the building.
