biddingforhotel Posted December 22, 2007 Report Posted December 22, 2007 Bid $35 on 4* first to let PL program think I am 4* customer and not targeting on particular hotel, then lower to 3* as rejected and expected, then lower to 2.5* for same, then lower to 2*, and got it as expected. Super! that's what I really want.
biddingforhotel Posted December 22, 2007 Author Report Posted December 22, 2007 This is really a great hotel, but not too many cars at the parking lot. Very few people went to the wonderful complimentary hot buffet breakfast, so it is like only us, and since each table chair set seem different, so we pick one next to fireplace; it is really like at home. I was surprised to find out past dated USA Today, which is wonderful, it is even like my home that I have all the newspaper piled up and go back to read past dated newspaper any time I feel like.We were assigned a room far away but right next to the swimming pool, exercise room, basketball court, ...etc. So, kids are happy.
biddingforhotel Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Posted February 15, 2008 What it surprised me when my credit card statement came, both priceline and the hotel charged me. Priceline charged me $35 the bid price plus overhead, whereas the hotel charged me $42... :)Last time I got double charges was in Hilton Garden Inn at Edison, and it took a while to get the money back. This time, the manager was great and said it would be credit back in next statement, but the new statement came, they still did not credit back the double charge....Not sure what to do now... maybe should call them again? My situation was when I clicked on the "extension" while I was happy with the hotel before the check out date, so that extended day was double charge....Will keep you posted... I would like to come back to this hotel but afraid of being double charged again ... :)
biddingforhotel Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Posted February 29, 2008 I am so glad that more phone calls finally get the confusion resolved.The story was that Priceline did not pay the hotel in time for tha 2nd day last minute extension, so the hotel needs to obtain the payment from PL before they can reimburse me, and it is now reimbursed. Yeh!!!I think it makes sense...
