pnb Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 Same day booking for a saturday night stay.Started at $42. Counteroffered at $57. Won with a $2 increment.Price on hotel website was $98.

pnb Posted June 12, 2011 Author Report Posted June 12, 2011 I was so satisfied with this property after checking in that I decided to try to extend my stay, using the Priceline option.I did not have high expectations, as the going prepaid rate on the hotel web site was significantly higher for this Sunday night stay ($161 vs. $98 for the initial Saturday night).But the extension bid was successful, resulting in a 72% saving! May well be my personal best :)

pnb Posted June 12, 2011 Author Report Posted June 12, 2011 I really do like this place... and wanted to further extend my stay for a 3rd night.I could no longer use the Priceline "extend your stay" option, so I had to try a new bid.But as the cheapest going rate for that night on the hotel website was $339, I thought my chances were close to nil.I was wrong!So let me check: $44 vs $339, a 87% discount.Needless to say, a new personal best! :)
AaronJB Posted June 13, 2011 Report Posted June 13, 2011 Definitely a remarkable discount! Glad you are enjoying your stay, as well.
