Welcome to BetterBidding!

Is this property Resort rated and actually the San Juan Marriott Resort and Stellaris Casino? (if not, can you provide the address of the hotel you won)

Thank you for sharing your winning bid with the board.

Enjoy your stay.

The Courtyard By Marriott San Juan Miramar at 801 Ponce De Leon Avenue

San Juan, Puerto Rico is rated at 2 1/2 stars, 10 minutes from the airport and 5 minutes

to the cruise ship piers, a resort would have been nice, but this hotel seems pretty decent, has some good reviews with easy access to lots of places for a 1 night stay

You obviously got a good deal compared to published rates, and for one night it doesn't really matter where you stay. That said, I would advise others to wait before paying that price IF you want to try to snag one of the fancy resorts. Just because there are no $70 rates at the Caribe Hilton now doesn't mean they won't load later. Early February is a bit of a slow travel period in the middle of "the season," so deals do pop up. In my mind, there's no reason to lock in a non-refundable priceline stay more than 90 days in advance unless the deal is truly sensational -- which we have seen periodically in Puerto Rico.
