Leite Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 I liked the Buffalo-Niagara Falls Amherst Marriott so much that I decided to go back for some shopping in Buffalo and wanted to stay there. We're going with friends, so I bid in 2 rooms.I started at 54.00, it gave me a counter-offer to increase my bid by 15.00 to 69.00 which I denied.Added another area, tried 57.00. Denied again. Added a third area and tried 59.00 and was accepted.Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $59.00 Subtotal: $118.00 Taxes & Fees: $26.96 Total Charges*: $144.96 That's 5.00 cheaper than what I paid in November when I stayed here to use their park and fly offer.Of course, I used the PRICELINE link from this site to book.Hope this can help others.
AaronJB Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 Congrats on your success. :)Sweet deal for this Marriott property! Glad you are pleased with the result.Thank you for sharing your win and using the site's PRICELINE link.Enjoy your stay.
smyemar Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 Can I ask what areas you added and still got the Marriott? I have been trying to get this property daily for a while now and have bidded up to $80.00 and still not won. I need it for February 3 as our flight leaves early on the 4th. Thanks!
Leite Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Posted January 24, 2011 Smyemar, you can add any of the Buffalo areas (one at a time) as the Marriott is the only 3.5* in the whole Buffalo area. If I were you (if you haven't already), get a cancelable reservation somewhere else to give you peace of mind (I heard nice reviews on the La Quinta, very cheap too) and then try the Marriot on the 1ts or 2nd of February. Both times I got this hotel, I only had luck getting it (for 59.00 and 60.00) two days prior to the trip. On the first time, I went all the way until 75.00 a few weeks prior to the trip and wasn't accepted. Two days before the actual trip, bingo at 60.00.We had another amazing stay at Marriott. The only complaint was several kids in the jacuzzi by the pool. Some of the kids were eating pizza there. Staff passed by several times and didn't say anything.
thereuare Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 Smyemar,Rates are date specific, so you may not always be able to replicate another user's winning bid, especially when their dates are different then your own.If you'd like help with your upcoming trip please start a NEW TOPIC.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
