Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Sacramento (Rancho Cordova) Hyatt Place

[Colfax]

Sacramento is getting Priceline expensive! Not many moons ago I was winning 2.5*s in Rancho for $39 or $42. Now $50 rejected and $55 accepted. Amerisuites regular price was $99 for these nights.

Other rejected bids for this Monday/Tuesday stay:

$52/2* Downtown

$52/2* University

$46/2.5* South Natomas

Amerisuites is converting to Hyatt Place. Today I watched workers replace some of the neon Amerisuites signs outside with new Hyatt signs. They couldn't complete the job in one day so for tonite the hotel has two names.

The rooms are finished but they're still working on the lobby, which is closed. You enter through a side door for now and they've set up their front desk on a card table in the hallway. It looks silly but in the middle of all the construction they're taking care of business, including the generous breakfast buffet.

I asked for "anything but 2nd floor" since all the construction is on the first. They put me on 5th floor and it's very quiet. New rooms are really nice. Lighter and brighter than the old ones. Mine has a 42 inch plasma TV.

Bid through SavingsBarn.

Congratulations on your win.

It'll be interesting to see the transformation of all the AmeriSuites to the Hyatt Place brand... the concept seems like a 'winner' in the mid-scale market.

Thanks for the report and for using the SavingsBarn.com links to begin your bidding.

Hope you continue to enjoy your stay.

I just rechecked my acceptance page and Priceline now calls this hotel "Hyatt Place Rancho Cordova". Yesterday that page still said "Amerisuites". I guess it's okay to change the name in the Hotel List now.

At checkout receipt showed a rate of $51/night. I was rejected at $50 and accepted at $55. So try $51.
