Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Orange County (Fullerton - Brea) Fairfield Inn Anaheim Placentia

[rcktgirl05]

I started off requesting a 2.5 star in Fullerton/Brea for $45. I've had a couple of other stays where I started at $43 and PL came back saying for $50 I could win the room. Both of those times were Fullerton Marriot. My logic was that maybe if I got closer to $50, I could win it outright and not have to increase the price.

However, this time PL came back and said if I increased by $7 to $52, I could win it. It ended up being Fairfield Inn Placentia. I haven't stayed at this hotel before, so it will be interesting to be somewhere new. I will say that for 2.5 stars, it seems impressive to have fridges/microwaves and a free hot breakfast. Fullerton Marriott had none of those features and it is rated 3.5 star.

I used the PRICELINE link, thanks BB for all your work :)

Congratulations on your success!

Glad to see you're pleased with the purchase and looking forward to trying out this property. It's not uncommon to find more 'perks' (especially Free Breakfast and Free Internet) at the mid-rated hotels vs. the higher rated hotels. The higher rated properties tend to cater more to a business clientele, many who are on expense accounts and therefore not very price sensitive to things such as internet, $20 breakfasts, etc.

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

Hope you enjoy your stay and experience at this Fairfield property.
