Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Tampa (Downtown) The Westin Tampa Harbour Island

[Ethan Policastro]

Very happy as this was the hotel I wanted to stay at.

Bid 60 and they turned it down, bid 75 turned down, bid 90 and it was accepted.

Total with taxes was 109

This site is great! Never used Priceline before and it made it much easier, and yes I used your PRICELINE links :)

As for transportation they offered shared van/execucar at 12/55 (same pricing as shuttlefare.com). Taxifarefinder says a taxi is about $30, another company is Limobiz which lets others compete for your business (although I never used them, I hear it's pretty good). If I can't get a better rate than 55 from limobiz I will just book it with execucar.

Congrats on your success.

Excellent deal for this Westin property! Glad you are pleased with the result and are looking forward to your stay.

Just to confirm, did you win the Westin? The thread title had both Courtyard and Westin Harbour Island.

Thank you for your compliments on Betterbidding. :)

Thank you for sharing your win and using the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.

Enjoy your stay.

I won the Westin. It was where I was hoping to stay in the first place and almost paid full price, but decided last minute to take the money I saved and go see the Captials SPANK the lightning in lower level seats (still find it amazing you can sit 4 rows off the ice for 60 bucks, went to a flyers game 2 weeks ago and paid 250 for 2 tickers 6 rows up!).

Thanks for the follow-up.

Glad to see this was the hotel you were hoping for and you've already found something to do with the money saved from this purchase ;)
