[busterla]

Used betterbidding PRICELINE link.

Bid $30 3.5 stars in Arden

Bid $34 3.0 stars in Arden

Bid $35 3.5 stars in Arden and Elk Grove (no 3 stars or + there)

Bid $37 3.0 stars in Arden and Elk Grove (no 3 stars or + there)

Bid $40 3.0 stars in Arden and Elk Grove and West Sacramento ((no 3 stars or + there)

and won.

Slight mistake -- should have tried 3.5 stars first when I added W. Sacramento.

A little disappointed with my win -- its reviews are kind of mediocre. Plus the hotel charges $10/day for in-room wifi and, it looks like, $8/day for self-parking. So reality is with tax and these charges it'll be more like $66/night. Not horrific, but it's always a downer to see these kind of charges pop up, especially when the hotel is not downtown, so u don't expect to have to pay to park.

Sorry to see you're a bit disappointed in the additional charges, but even 'all-in' this still looks to be a pretty good deal vs. what you'd pay for a comparable hotel booked conventionally... and hopefully the chocolate chip cookies at check-in will help make you feel better :)

Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding.

Have a great trip.

Yes, I've stayed at the Doubletree between Arden Faire Mall and Cal Expo, and it does charge for parking. Kind of ridiculous considering the suburban area. In-room internet is free only if you are a Hilton Gold member. Wireless internet is free in the public areas, and expect to see lots of guys sitting in the public areas with their laptops.
