Poetraveler Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 I needed a room in Boca Raton for tonight, so I didn't start bidding low. Price for a 2.5* on HOTWIRE was $68, so I felt comfortable going with the PRICELINE's recommended bid of $45. On the first try it gave me a room at the Boca Raton Bridge Hotel.I checked in an hour later, and want to give you fair warning: This hotel charges a $12.00 "service fee" at check-in. I'm not sure what the service fee is for, but it doesn't appear to be optional. It does include valet parking, which is not necessary since there appears to be plenty of self-parking available.The hotel itself is in a terrific location and has a terrific view, and it's somewhat upscale, but it's also very old and doesn't appear to have been renovated in 20+ years. On the upside, they have blazingly fast wifi. SpeedTest.net clocked my connection at 24 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload.All in all, it's not bad, but I wish Priceline would not allow hotels to charge random additional fees. Link to comment
