Welcome to BetterBidding!

Thank you for sharing your win with the board.

Glad to hear the information here was helpful in your bidding and that you're happy with your results.

Enjoy your stay.

The Residence Inn Downtown is a VERY rare priceline win and it's a very nice hotel, which deserves a 3* rating. Superb location, as well. While you cannot request a room due to your priceline status, I'd ask if they have any rooms on the top floors looking North. The rooms on the top 2-3 floors have partially obstructed (but still very nice) lake views. You get free breakfast, as well.

I'll add: good people, too. When I worked at a nearby hotel a while back, they helped us out in difficult situations a number of times. Enjoy it!

(And be thankful you got this property, rather than any of a number of less desirable hotels in your quality range in this area.)

Thank you Thereuare, AaronJB & Mike for the feedback and this forum for helping me. I will keep any more of my postings good or bad going on here. I can see that with everyone posting it helps us all.

Thanks, TJ
