purplelotus Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Just won this hotel a few minutes ago on first bid of $55 which I thought was aggressive. Am VERY pleased. No free rebid zones and am traveling so I started a little higher than I normally would. Total cost $328.55. AAA rate is $179/nt. We're going to the International Juggling Association convention there which is being held in the convention center next door. Convention rate was $108/nt. Not sure that was still available. Priceline listed amenities as pool, free internet, restaurant, business center and fitness center with rating of 8+. Also showed 3* as best deal and median price in area of $143. Link to comment

purplelotus Posted July 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Maybe I clicked the wrong area, but this is just "Winston Salem", not "Winston Salem West". Please correct this. The hotel is located right in the center of town. Also, I did use the link but just forgot to mention it. Perhaps the format for posting could be changed, and you could add a line to say if one used the PRICELINE link. It's too easy too forget when writing up the post. I use this site frequently and get a lot of benefit from it. Link to comment

purplelotus Posted July 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Hotel is solid 3* -- nice room with 2 double beds, large window, free wifi, fridge,excellent business center, free coffee in the morning in the lobby, free newspaers, etc. We did have a number of problems during our stay, however. The main one was that our hot water didn't work. Since we didn't discover this until the next morning when we wanted to shower, we had brought up heaps of stuff to the room and did not want to change rooms. Staff was very pleasant and apologetic but poor in follow through. I had to contact the front desk 5 times to get it fixed, and it was not fixed until 7pm. Link to comment
