Priceline Hotel: 2* Fairbanks Extended Stay America - Fairbanks - Old Airport Way

[hohogap]

Success! I must've bid PRICELINE and looked at HOTWIRE 100 times for this date just goofing around since March (always through the BB Board links above) trying to get this one night in Fairbanks for my weekend get away. Flight arrives at 12:45 am (still bright outside, day before the summer solstice) so I really just needed a clean hotel near the airport to crash late at night. Board's prior hotel list showed this as an option and price dropped significantly in the past week. Can't beat the price for the high season rates. Never bid on a 2* before, but this hotel will be just fine. Below are the results shown from my NYOP bid.

Offer Price:

avg. per room, per night $75.00

Rooms: 1

Nights: 1

Room Subtotal: $75.00

Taxes & Fees: $14.55

Total Charged to Card: $89.55

And, as always, all bids, searches, bookings and wins are made through the BB Board links! Thanks for all your great help.

Congratulations on your success!

Nice to see you're pleased with the results and looking forward to your trip.

Do note that since you're arriving after midnite i would call the hotel ahead of time and let them know of your late arrival so that they don't consider you to be a 'no show'.

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

Enjoy your stay.

Good advice, thanks. And I also wanted to let you know that the 2* "Express Deal" on PRICELINE was $85 for the (apparently) same hotel. Earlier I had been bidding on the 2 1/2* property on PL up to within $3 of the Express Deal price using NYOP, without luck. Hit and miss, I guess.
