Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Lower Fairfield County (Stamford) Hilton Stamford Hotel and Executive Meeting Center

[netpog]

Hotline offered a blind Greenwich-Stamford 4* hotel for $85 ($106 gross, with fees), so that was my fall-back.  I saw blind offers for 3.5* hotels from HOTWIRE for $85, and PRICELINE for $81 ("Hint: You've booked here before", so I think it was NOT the same hotel.)

 

Because my preference was Greenwich, which is where both the known Hotwire 4* hotels are in (there are no known 4* hotels in the Priceline list for Lower Fairfield), on my first attempt I bid for 4* up to $81, with no success.  Then I tried 3.5*, expecting to land in Stamford.  With no rebid zones, my first offer was accepted.  (I was happy stay somewhere random for a $20 discount, but no less than that.)

 

Obviously, the hotel lists and the bidding helper were very valuable.  And of COURSE I used the link to PRICELINE!  (Actually, I used the helper, which does the same thing.)

 

PS: The PRICELINE EXPRESS $81 offer was for 

"Stamford Rated 8.0 out of 10 (or higher)

"Pets Allowed Restaurant Free Internet Indoor or Outdoor Pool Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities"

 

I think it was the Sheraton Stamford. (That's the only 3.5* hotel I've stayed in, there, through Priceline.)
