Priceline Hotel: 3* Santa Barbara County (Santa Maria) Holiday Inn Hotel and Suites Santa Maria

[iwannaroom]

Name Your Own Price: Bid: $64 + taxes/fees $15 = $79

Took several tries over several days, starting with lower bids and higher stars.

 

Priceline offers the hotel at $85, and what I believe is the hotel website

offers a lot of different rates, the lowest, most restricted being $90.

Checking a little more, it appears this same hotel is available as a PricelinePRICELINE EXPRESS deal,

for just a bit more ($68 price + $14 fees/taxes ... odd that the fees/taxes are different, no?).

 

Net saving for Bidding  Name-Your-Own-Price vs Express? ... $3

 

While not great, this is not a bad deal by any means.
