Priceline Hotel: 3* Inland Empire (Ontario) Marriott Airport

[wsj3200]

I was in a hurry so I started bidding at this year's low price for the area and was accepted on the first try. However, this is not the hotel I expected for the price bid. Last year this hotel was hitting @ $43 if I recall. I would start @ $40 Ontario 3*, add Corona bid $43, reset, bid Ontario 2.5* $45. This should get you the Marriott or the Hilton if they have released rooms at their lowest price level.

Your offer price...................................$45.00 :)

Taxes and fees...................................$18.81

Total for two nights............................$108.81

As a side note to this bid, I inadvertently bid the wrong weekend (the weekend listed in the title). When I realized my mistake, I called the Marriott and they graciously changed the reservation to the following weekend. So thank you Marriott for helping me out.

Additionally, I have a friend bidding this same area. I have given him a bidding stategy to follow. If he gets a lower price, I will post a follow up with the new winning bid.

I had my buddy start at $40. He hit at $43. This is where the Marriott was priced during the latter half of last year.
