Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Ventura (Thousand Oaks) Palm Garden Hotel

[Loulander]

First time poster. My first bid was for the $65, which was accepted.

I could have gotten the room on Expedia for only $5 more, had I checked beforehand.

I let Priceline tell me what the retail rates were and based my bid on that. I'll be sure to check regular sites

before I bid next time. Anyway, still not a bad rate, and includes full breakfast too.

(By the way I forgot to note that it is for travel in April 2011).

Congratulations on your success!

Sorry to see the savings weren't as much as you had hoped, but as you now know, it's always a good idea to check rates before bidding so that you know what qualified as a 'good deal'. Free free to ask for help before your next opaque purchase.

Thank you for sharing your win with the board.
