Priceline Hotel: 4* Amsterdam (Schiphol Airport) Sheraton

[sarah2376]

I am very happy about my winning bid! First of all, the week I am going to Amsterdam there is a huge conference so all the hotels are booked and OVERPRICED!

I checked HOTWIRE first and the Sheraton was up there for $125. I took a chance and bid on PRICELINE (using the link) and got if for a little bit cheaper.

Here's what I did:

Bid $98 *5 City Center Museum Quarter (I knew it would be rejected though)

Bid $100 added Schiphol Airport - rejected

Bid $103 added City Center South and my bid was accepted for Sheraton Airport Hotel - the one I was aiming for all along!!!! Yeah!

This hotel is connected to the airport and is a short distance to the train into the City Center (15min train ride into Central Station). I was surpisingly able to use Marriott Points to stay in the city center my first night (Thursday) and needed a hotel for Friday & Saturday night as I fly out on Sunday morning. This is perfect! I saved 79% !!!! Now I have more money to spend on sightseeing and activities...food & booze, etc! Yeah! I guess its not impossible to get a good rate when there is a busy convention and limited availability by hotels in the area...
