Priceline Hotel: 3* Hamilton Courtyard By Marriott Hamilton

[mikeyjc]

On 7/27, I tried fishing on Priceline for a room closer to Niagara Falls, but didn't have much luck even at $100+ bids for 4* and 3.5* properties.

So, since we need to drive through Hamilton on our way home anyway, I decided to try getting a room there. No rebid zones available unfortunately, so that doesn't allow for some of our "elegant" multiple bid strategies.

Tried first for a 3.5* at $62, but failed ... added 3*, and got the Courtyard:

Courtyard By Marriott Hamilton Hamilton

1224 Upper James Street

Hamilton, ON L9C 3B1

Check-In: Sat, Aug 11, 2012

Check-Out: Sun, Aug 12, 2012

Offer Price: US$62.00

Rooms: 1

Nights: 1

Room Subtotal: US$62.00

Taxes & Fees: US$15.93

Total: US$77.93

Also received an offer to extend at the same rate, but declined it since we only planned to spend one night in the area.

As far as comps went, the Marriott website did not allow booking this property for Saturday PM only (2 day minimum stay required). So, when I checked to see what they wanted for a 2-night stay that weekend, they wanted CDN$179 per night + taxes.

I've mostly had good experiences with my Courtyard stays, so I hope that this one won't disappoint either.

I did click thru to PRICELINE from the link on this website.
