Priceline Hotel: 4* Kansas City (Downtown-Crown Center) Westin Crown Center

[N501US]

This is the Sunday night of the NASCAR weekend in KC. Retail listed as $240/+ per night so I feel pretty good. I didn't fool around too much after cursury research and submitted an arbitrary $80.00 bid which was taken on the first try.

A little background info: I am paying $165.00 a night 9/28 and 9/29 at the 4 Points by KC airport. (not priceline or hotwire -- Hotels just love NASCAR weekends) Rate "dropped" to $135 for 9/30 and $95 for 10/1 so this is a bargain to me! For personal reasons, I chose to go the 4* route for the final two nights.

To be completely honest, I would not have even tried this PL had it none been for the knowledge I have gained from this site so thank you to everyone for posting . This is my third time to use HW or PL. Admittedly, I am still a novice but am gaining a bit of confidence with each go around.

Once quick question; As I have done before, I called the hotel directly to request (and I know it is only a request) double beds and was told that I had to call priceline direct? Should I just call back and hope for a different, maybe more knowledegable CSR?

I will provide a review of the experience! Thank you again for such a useful site!!

Cheers,

Glad to hear the board has been so helpful to you.

Thank you and a reminder for all to use the savingsbarn PRICELINE links and the HOTWIRE links provided on this site, as well! I just changed my bookmark for "savingsbarn" to simply read "priceline" in my list of favorites.
