hopeland Posted June 3, 2013 Report Posted June 3, 2013 Won this nice deal due to a last minute change of plans. Last minute change of plans were necessitated because at the next-to-the-last minute, I had to cancel my long-standing plans at this same hotel.Had a retail rate reserved @ $229 for 5/31-6/02 at the Grove Park. Monday was the last day to cancel, so I had to cancel then. There were no rooms available prior to the cancellation. Once I canceled, a room was put back into retail inventory and onto hotwire for Saturday night only.So once the plans re-emerged, I scooped up the hotwire rate, and stayed elsewhere on Friday night.At check-in, I was given the option to stay in the newly renovated (as in the past month) Vanderbilt wing for an extra $25. Took that offer and got a fantastic renovated Mountain View room, which are normally much more $$$ when reserved in advance. Works for me!With Priceline, you lose some, but you also win some.Hotel amenity list:ResortPet friendlySuiteBoutique HotelIndoor pool(s)Smoke Free RoomsFitness CenterPool(s)Business CenterHigh-Speed Internet AccessGolf NearbyTennis NearbySpa ServicesIn-room accessibilityWheelchair accessible
