Priceline Hotel: 1* Portland (Tigard) Howard Johnson

[eartha]

I started at a 4* in downtown and worked my way outward in area, downward in stars, and upward in price until I had no choice but to add 1* to the options. Since no 1*s were on the hotel list, I was hoping that would let me raise the price for free, but, no, a 1* was indeed selected. Dangit! Naturally I should have rethought that because I ended up paying more than the book rate! :) Oops. So I won't disclose what I paid out of embarrasment, but I wanted to open a topic on it anyway so that the hotel can be added to the list.

Please do say...

and in exchange i'll add that if it's more than the hotel is charging direct from their website, you can file a claim with Priceline to refund the difference between the price you paid and the price you're seeing direct from the hotel. However, priceline mush be able to verify this rate, and given your stay begins tomorrow, i'd suggest taking a sreenshot/printout of the better rate and emailing Priceline ASAP.

Also, read the comments at the top of the Priceline Hotel List:

This list is NOT a complete list of all hotels that Priceline offers in this area, it is ONLY a compilation of hotels that have already been reported on this forum. Hotels are added/removed by Priceline all the time, and star ratings can change at ANY time. As well, the geographic boundaries of an area are subject to change, so it is always a good idea to look at the Priceline map before purchasing. DO NOT USE THIS LIST to determine what areas to add when attempting to bid again within the 24 hour window (CLICK HERE for information on how to add cities in order to bid again).

Hopefully your stay will be better than you expect... thanks for posting.

As thereuare says Priceline will refund the difference between your bid and a lower published rate but your request for a refund must be submitted within 24 hours of your accepted bid.
