johnbowling Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 $68 + $17.97 taxes and fees = $85.97. Started with BiddingHelper.com. The amenities differed depending on which way I searched from the Bidding Helper page. Clicking on the sentence "5% off Priceline Express Deals (click here)" I got only one 3-star hotel near the airport that offered a free breakfast. It showed the area as "Sarasota Airport Area (SRQ)," and did not say "Downtown" as shown in the post title. That was the area name choice I was offered. Amenities: Free Internet Free Parking Free Breakfast Bed Choice Airport Shuttle Business Center Fitness Center Non Smoking Swimming Pool It turned out to be the airport Hampton Inn, which was my guess. Other amenity list: If I started my Bidding Helper search by filling out the search box at the top, then clicking the "Priceline Express (rooms DOUBLE OCCUPANCY only)" button, what appeared to be the same hotel (only 3-star in airport area with breakfast) displayed but was quoted at $70. Clicking on the hotel however, changed the price to $68, a match. The amenities there were: Free Parking Business Center Airport Shuttle Free Internet Free Breakfast Indoor or Outdoor Pool Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities I bought the room through the BiddingHelper.com tab so I can't be sure it's the same hotel.

thereuare Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Congratulations on your success! Glad to see you received the hotel you guessed and that you're pleased with the results. It looks like PRICELINE has recently changed the zone boundaries in this area and added a zone, separating the Downtown-Airport SRQ zone into two new zones: Downtown - Central Sarasota Sarasota Airport Area (SRQ) ... we have updated the Priceline Hotel List in this area to reflect this change and have properly reclassified each hotel to their newly classified zone. Thank you for using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your purchase and sharing your win, helping us add this hotel to the Priceline Express Hotel List as well as letting us know about the zone changes in this region. Enjoy your stay. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
