hannahb352 Posted March 31, 2004 Report Posted March 31, 2004 Baymont Inn And Suites Milwaukee Northeast Milwaukee North5110 North Port Washington Road Glendale, Wisconsin 53217 414-964-8484Check-In Date: Friday, April 9, 2004 Check-Out Date: Sunday, April 11, 2004 Your Offer Price: $30.00 Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 2 Subtotal: $60.00 Taxes & Service Fees:$15.15 Total Charges: $75.15 Got this hotel for my mom and dad...I had already booked it on Hotwire for these dates for 2 rooms at $36 a night some time ago. For this bid:Bid $24 for 2* in Milwaukee Northgot a counter offer of adding $6/nightHad dad use his accountBid $27 for 2* in Milwaukee Northgot counter offer of adding $7/night!!!! :) Ikes..there were no free rebidswent back to original counteroffer of $30/night total and took it :) Still better than what I paid on Hotwire but thought the counter offers were a little crazy. They saved about $15 total by using Priceline vs. Hotwire. It is a risk in this area though as you could end up as far as Brown Deer and we wanted to be in Glendale area...Hotwire has Glendale only zone.
thereuare Posted March 31, 2004 Report Posted March 31, 2004 Some bids are harder than others... but the savings make it worthwhile!Too bad Hotwire Double the Difference has to found within 48 hours of booking, otherwise you could have made a claim with your Priceline purchase! Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
hannahb352 Posted April 13, 2004 Author Report Posted April 13, 2004 At check in my mom was able to see that Priceline paid $28 for her room. This is also the same hotel that I bought on Hotwire and Hotwire paid $30 for my room. We did bid this one later than the Hotwire purchase, but I have to wonder if Priceline just gets better rates than Hotwire in general??
