slruud Posted May 15, 2007 Author Report Posted May 15, 2007 $98. Called to request king bed/non smoking and add Kimpton In Touch # to ressie. Also requested early checkin. On another note Thereuare, it seems to me that other than posting timely wins, the hotel web rate for the time of the win would be a valuable resource for those in the process or waiting to bid. I've tried to include that info in the past, and will continue in the future.Another side note, the retail price Priceline quoted where you put in your bid was $269. I already knew the Solamar was $209/nite due to research, so knew I was close at a buck a pop.Have a happy evening.
