Priceline Hotel: 3* Detroit Suburbs (Auburn Hills-Pontiac) Marriott

[CrazyOne]

One bid, one night, $45, $57.53 all in with tax and fee.

Had 2.5* selected and only Auburn Hills-Pontiac.

Result is 3* Detroit Marriott Pontiac at Centerpoint

Well, looks like I'm in for a decent stay at a decent price, even if it's not exactly what I might have expected. I bid only this zone, but I had 2.5* selected. Maybe I bid too high! If I bid $43, would I have gotten the Amerisuites soon to be Hyatt Place? That one looked kinda cool. This Marriott should be good, though, judging by the reviews. Just need a place to sleep after a concert up at the Palace. The only downer is that some of the others would be a little closer, but really, I'm sure the longest part of the drive back will be getting out of the parking lot!

Given the regular rates of everything I've been checking this evening, this still seems like a great deal. Everything comparable appeared to be over $100, even the 2.5* places. I was tempted a bit by the Westin Southfield which might be had for just a bit more (looks like it was $62 on Hotwire that night), but it's really kinda far away and inconvenient. I'm not that desperate to try the Westin. (Interestingly, the Westin had a price of $209, but if I asked for the AAA rate, it was 99 bucks! Never seen AAA give half off before.)

It's very good to keep the price of the hotel down (and still get a decent room, not the Motel 6) given the price of concerts these days! Thanks for keeping up the useful info here everyone.

Congratulations on your win and thank you for sharing it with the board.

Enjoy your stay and the concert.

Good job on the bidding. We use similar strategies. I have stayed at Centerpoint recently and it was easy enough access for Palace. The beds were great and our room was very clean. Hope you had the same results. Thanks for sharing your winning bids and I do hope you are able to nab Amerisuites (The Hyatt Place) someday in the future, as it was one of the BEST priceline bids I've won. Very cool place.
