nmitch001 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 Used Betterbidding's PRICELINE link to bid $50 each for two rooms in Montgomery, AL on 04/01/11. Had tried two earlier bids of $39 and $45. We are driving from Louisville, KY to Gulf Shores, AL, and had hoped for the Embassy Suites because of it's proximity to I-65, and complimentary breakfast, but won Courtyard By Marriott Montgomery5555 Carmichael Road Montgomery, Alabama 36117 two rooms $50 each, taxes/fees $24.22 for a total of $124.22

nmitch001 Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Posted January 23, 2011 I contacted the hotel to see which rooms we would have(king/double), adding a meal plan, etc.; only to find that the "heated year-round pool" is not actually opened until May, and all they had was an indoor hottub. When I explained that we have a child that would benefit greatly from being able to swim after a long car ride, they were very nice and offered to release the deposit without penalty, stating that her brother has the same condition as my son and she fully understood. Marriott wanted Priceline to transfer us to another property they own (Springhill Suites), but PL said they could only cancel outright, then advised me to make new reservations "the old-fashioned way". So I guess I'm back to square-one.
