CSgirl11 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 4* Not 4.5*. OopsFirst off, I LOVE the new boards and ease of adding the won hotel information.Anyways, I knew that I specifically wanted to stay at this hotel. My boyfriend like the location and pictures and we both wanted something romantic for our first anniversary getaway. It was the only 4 star in Stone Mountain so I was pretty confident that we could get it. Since I knew that Atlanta had many zones and several had categories under 4 stars, I had no whelms about starting low. I saw it on Express Deals for $68 the other day, but it was gone today. Therefore, I knew that I could get it for lower. Here's my bidding sequence:Started at $40. REJECTEDAdded zone 2-Chamblee and upped to $45. REJECTEDAdded zone 10-Jonesboro and upped to $50. REJECTED.Added zone 5-Forest Park and upped to $55. ACCEPTED!!!The retail price for this hotel is $219!! So I got it at 75% off. Can't wait to stay here. :-D

CSgirl11 Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Posted April 30, 2013 Superb win for this Marriott property! Hope you are looking forward to your stay and happy anniversary! :) Thank you! Also possibly got another treat by calling the hotel directly. Normally the lakeview rooms are $20/night more but the lady that I spoke to put a note on my reservation for a Lakeview if any are available at not additional cost. :-)
AaronJB Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 Very nice! Hope the lakeview upgrade will work out. :)
CSgirl11 Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Posted May 1, 2013 Thanks. Checked my reservation on Marriot website and its no longer listed as a Standard room but rather a Lakeview so I imagine that all is well.
