Priceline Hotel: 5* Prague (East) Marriott

[TeddyRiley]

Greetings all,

In the middle of planning a trip to Europe in Aug. Glad to report that I got the 5* Marriot in Prague (East) for $113/night using Priceline. I'm staying there from Aug. 10-15, 2006. I'm not sure if August is considered a slow month in Eastern Europe, but Priceline said that a 5* in the area would go for about $230ish.

I placed my first bids yesterday, 3 tries from 100 - 105 - 110 and no luck.

Today, my first bid was $107 and Priceline suggested I try increasing it by $22. Lucky me, I had previously read a post stating that you can usually get if for a price of about 60% of the difference suggested, so I wittingly declined to make such a "drastic" increase. My next bid was $113 (although I only meant to increase my bid by $5 - I don't know what's wrong with my math today).

In any event, the 5* Hotel in Prague (East) is the Marriot. I look forward to my stay.

And I did remember to use savingsbarn.com

Now, i have Budapest and Vienna left to book.

Congratualtions on your win.

Priceline's suggested retail price should always be ignored, but regardless this is a great deal for this property at nearly $100 less per nite than the Marriott's own website.

Thanks for using the SB links to begin your bid.

Have a great stay. If you need help with any bidding for the rest of your trip feel free to ask.
