Priceline Hotel: 3* Salt Lake City (Downtown-University Park) Sheraton City Center

[DDSeeker]

Accessed Priceline through SavingsBarn.com

I had hoped for something more University Park than Downtown. Oh well, I knew the risks going in.

Was bidding for 3* and 2.5* in D-UP zone only. Saw a $9 counteroffer when bidding $35 for a 2.5*. Even though I bid at $1 increments for 3* and $2 increments at 2.5*, this is the only time I saw the counteroffer. If I accepted the counteroffer, I suppose Priceline could have upgraded me to this hotel.

I was rejected at $40 for both 3* and 2.5*.

Fee for parking! Ugh! Still, even with parking, I get a Sheraton for the price of a Motel 6. :)

I wanted to add a night with several constraints.

• I wanted to be close to University Park
  
• Preferred to avoid parking charge
  
• Of course preferred higher quality level over lower quality level
  
• Was willing to go down to 2* to avoid Sheraton City Center due to parking fee
  

Consistent with these constraints, I made several bids. Here are the bids that provide Priceline users with the most information:

• 2* -- $37 -- Airport Zone -- $10 counteroffer
  
• 2* -- $38 -- Airport + Downtown-University Park -- rejected
  
• 2* -- $37 -- Downtown-University Park + South -- rejected
  
• 2.5* -- $39 -- Downtown-University Park + Airport + West Valley (no 2.5* hotel) -- rejected
  
• 2.5* -- $40 -- Downtown-University Park + Airport + West Valley (no 2.5*) + South (no 2.5*) -- Upgraded to 3* Sheraton City Center
  

All in all, not so bad. Who can complain about a Sheraton at $40 / night?

Congratulations on yoru win(s).

Thank you for using the SavingsBarn.com PRICELINE links to begin your bidding.

Looks like you got the hotel you were trying to avoid, but even still, are happy with the results.

I agree... a Sheraton for $40 is a great deal, even if there are some extra charges?

Enjoy your stay.
