Priceline Hotel: 4* San Jose (Cupertino - Campbell) Cypress Hotel

[travelingWise]

On Kimpton's site, lowest rate was $99

Pretty sure it came up on Hotwire at $89 (4.5*)

Needed 2 rooms.

Began bidding at $55 - rejected

Added Milipitas $61 - rejected

Added Redwood City $70 - accepted

I know I may have left a few bucks on the table, but only saw one more rebid coming.

Although I was a tad disappointed at how their website sort of misrepresents the public areas (the "colonade" faces the parking area where you drive in and the lobby picture makes it seem much bigger), the rooms were beautiful and VERY comfortable! If I get more time, I'll write a full review to post. Overall, I think we got a great deal and highly recommend Cypress - especially to business travellers.

I was hoping to get the Hotel Los Gatos

On their site, the best rate was $209.

Began bidding on 4* at $85 - rejected

added Ben Lomand $96

added Morgan Hill $111

New browser session, began with Los Gatos and Ben Lomand for $116 (I'm not sure why/how, but I was able to rebid in less than 72 hours) - was rejected again

added Morgan Hill $121 - still rejected and it popped me out to the "other travel deals" page.

Decided to go for something further north, leading me to the Cypress in Cupertino. Maybe I'll try this one again sometime since the hotel looks beautiful!

Thank you for sharing your win with the board.

"Website misrepresentation" is commonplace (not just in the hotel industry) but is the reason we started our sister site RealHotelPhotos.com. If you took any pictures of the property please post them at our sister site that we can continue to build a database of accurate hotel photographs.
