CantDecideIT Posted April 9, 2011 Report Posted April 9, 2011 First wanted to thank you for such an awesome web site. Also wanted to share what I consider a killer win.Previous 2 bids starting at $39 for a 3 * was rejected. Finally won at $46.July 3 - July 4Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $46.00Subtotal: $46.00Taxes & Fees: $14.18Total Charges*: $60.18Checked the hotel website, same room is going for $249.00.
CantDecideIT Posted April 9, 2011 Author Report Posted April 9, 2011 Correction: Based on the room we were given, the current rate is $129. Unfortunately that room is showing a max of 3 guests (1 queen and 1 sofa bed). We have 2 adults and 2 children. PRICELINE doesn't seem to ask for this information prior to naming your own price. Hopefully we wont have any issues.
AaronJB Posted April 9, 2011 Report Posted April 9, 2011 Congrats on your success and Welcome to Betterbidding. :)Very nice deal for this RI property. PRICELINE only guarantees 1 bed/double occupancy; while you can negotiate with the hotel, it may be unable or unwilling to grant the request. In this case, the RI properties generally offer a sofa bed in the room if they are not able to give you a room w/2 beds (or charge you more, which is also a possibility.)Thank you for sharing your win and please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.Enjoy your stay.
CantDecideIT Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Posted April 14, 2011 Thanks Aaron. I did contact PRICELINE and they faxed a request to the hotel on my behalf. The rep at PRICELINE said that while they couldn't guarantee anything, the hotels are usually willing to consider the request if they able to. I'll try to post a follow-up after our stay.
CantDecideIT Posted July 18, 2011 Author Report Posted July 18, 2011 Just wanted to provide a followup to this post. We had no issue staying here with our 2 children. The room was very nice and the kids were able to sleep on the pull out sofa no problem. Unfortunately the day we were there someone had broken glass in the pool and they were in the process of draining. Not much you can do about that.Thanks again thanks to BetterBidding.com for proving a great service for all of us bargain hunters!
