Priceline Hotel: 4* Orange County (Dana Point-San Clemente) Marriott Laguna Cliffs

[XT600]

actually I'd have prefered to extend my earlier booking but clicking the link on priceline "extend you stay" generated a error message "we cannot proceed your wish" but you can buy this hotel for offical rates.... and the Marriott was offered for $220 :)

Never saw this before on priceline NYOP - seems that they try by all means selling rooms for official prices - good trick but I am not the guy who gives up easily..... :o

Started a new bid for the extra night (1 night longer in the future - Wednesday to Thursday). Started with $75, $85 and $90. The latter brought a counteroffer to increase to $110, continued with $91 and then $92 - what a surprise won again the Marriott Laguna Cliffs :)

Of course a new booking has the risk that they could give you another hotel (happend once to me in Hamburg, Germany 'cause I didn't know about the "extend-your-stay" functionality :) ) - this risk was quite low in this case.....

Congratulations on winning such an amazing hotel! My husband and I stayed here a few years back using Priceline and it is one of the nicest hotels we've ever stayed at! $92 is a fantastic deal for this property and knowing that we could get it for that rate is also priceless! Thanks a million for posting! :)

Congrats on your success. :)

Nice deal, and glad to see you were able to get another night at this property.

Thank you for sharing your win and using the site's PRICELINE link.

Enjoy your stay.

for other readers: remember this property will charge $30+tip for valet parking (outside for free), $12.95 for internet and - what I really dislike - $25 per person per day for Sauna and Jacuzzi in the Spa area :o

nickel and dime :)
