Colfax Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 This was the best Priceline deal I've scored in a long time.Bidding the night before stay I won the Napa Embassy Suites for $70 on a night when their best rate was $219. $65 was rejected.It gets better...At checkin the lady at the front desk says to me "I see you booked the Romantic Suite package".I'm like "Huh?" :) She goes on: "With the Romantic Suite there's supposed to be a bottle of chilled wine in your room, but you're checking in a little early. I'll have someone bring the wine to your room right away. Do you want white or red?""Um...white."Ten minutes later room service is at my door with a cold bottle of chardonnay, and profound apologies that the wine wasn't there waiting for me.Palm trees outside my window. White swans swimming in the pool. Free wine delivered to my room. And when I woke up a free breakfast buffet. Priceline should always be this way.Bids placed through the BetterBidding PRICELINE link, but of course. :) Link to comment
Gallus50 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Wow. You must have worn your really good shoes. (Glad you treated yourself to a little getaway. I wish I had scored that well last time I was in Napa!) Link to comment
Colfax Posted August 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 My good sandals. :) I think I got the $70 rate because I was bidding a "Sunday night only" stay. Fri and Sat cost more, if Priceline even has anything. Link to comment
