Westin was the preferred pick and was having a promotion showing lower rates for a 5-year anniversary. Amenities included in Priceline were: Indoor or Outdoor pool, pet friendly, fitness center, business center, and 'Guest Review score of 8.0 or higher'. Standard rates were going for $114/nt for a king size room. Initial low-ball bid began at $50 and increased with $5 increments.
