Priceline Hotel: 4* San Jose - Silicon Valley (Santa Clara) Santa Clara Marriott

[burritomaki]

I saw the express deal for $99 for 4* in Santa Clara, and it said the last person got the Hyatt.  Nice hotel.  But when I went forward, fees were $42.  on a $99 room?  No thanks, thats not reasonable to me.

 

So I did NYOP on my phone.  Lots of rebid zones, but it seems like the iphone app doesnt even check for rebids if you close and reopen the app.  Didn't have to do all the combinations to get my rebids.

 

Anyways, started at $60 and moved up in $5 increments.  At $80 it countered at $102.  But I declined and kept tap tap tapping on my phone, and got the $90 for the Marriott.  Not quite as nice as the Hyatt.  And yelp says they charge $17 for parking, and they're under renovation.  We'll see how it goes...

 

So $90 room, plus $19 in fees, for a total of $109.  Saved $32 off the express deal.

Oh I forgot to mention that its a $450/night on the marriott site!

 

I did as much as I could off this site, but only the mobile app seems to have name your own price now.
