Internet access is free throughout this entire hotel, so i don't think any of the amenities are inaccurate. If you're referring to the fact that it states that Internet is free in public area, when in actuality it is also free in the rooms, this really isn't inaccurate as the internet is indeed free in public spaces (they just didn't mention anything about internet in the rooms). Keep in mind that PRICELINE is only displaying the information given to them by the hotel, so if any data is missing or inaccurate, the issue is more likely with the data supplied by the hotel, not thru poor research on PRICELINE's part. This hotel gets excellent reviews so hopefully it will be a very nice stay. Thanks again for sharing your win and using the BetterBidding PRICELINE link for your purchase.

swiftSF Posted February 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Typically hotels have either free internet everywhere or just free in the public spaces - that's what made me concerned the phrasing implies no free internet in the rooms. I am aware this information is provided by the hotel, but in the past I had experience where very similar differences existed, and Priceline customer service refused to take any responsibility for the discrepancy or offer any resolution. Last year I booked with Priceline a hotel that said "free internet" but upon arrival realized the free internet did not work, and the only way to actually connect to the internet is pay for (pricey) paid internet. Hence my comment to what I perceive of the on-going and gradual deterioration I have been experiencing in recent years in the quality of the Priceline product and customer service. Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 In the big picture a hotel listing 'Free Internet in Public Areas' (and not mentioning that the internet is also free in rooms too) is a pretty minor point and not an issue from my point of view, as hotels need to have all the amenities they list... but don't need to list all the amenities they have. If PRICELINE (or any hotel service) lists a hotel as offering free internet but in reality the hotel always charges for it... then that is a deteriorating product. If on the other hand internet is usually provided for free but there is a technical issue which prevents you from using it, that is a hotel problem and one that i would seek a resolution with the hotel, not the company that i booked thru. Hope the stay above goes flawlessly, since as noted, this property does get excellent reviews. Have a great stay.
