shammes53 Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Traveling to Milwaukee to see Brewer-Twins baseball in June and was looking for a cheap Saturday night stay. Tried several bids for a 2* property with a first bid of $27 in the Brookfield-New Berlin without success, then adding other areas with bids of $28, $30 and $31 without success. Finally added the downtown area and was successful for a bid of $32 for the Homestead Milwaukee-Brookfield Brookfield - New Berlin 325 North Brookfield Road Brookfield, Wisconsin 53045 Website rate is $94.99, this was a pretty good deal! :) Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $32.00 Subtotal: $32.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $11.78 Total Charges*: $43.78 Link to comment
shammes53 Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 A follow up to this booking, we were walked to another hotel (Motel 6 - yuk) when we arrived for this reservation. Seems the hotel let some guests extend their stays, possibly because of the recent flooding in Wisconsin. I was not very happy with the situation, but did not contact Priceline at that time (but have emailed them and Homestead since) regarding this situation. There were other new guests moved to other hotels, several to the Motel 6. Homestead picked up the tab for each guest and said they would refund Priceline, but don't think that will do anything for our inconvience. I'm sure we would have had a nicer room at the Homestead, would never bid trying to get a Motel 6 (1* for sure) Link to comment
shammes53 Posted June 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 I was contacted by Priceline Customer Service today and will be getting a refund of $43.78 because Homestead could not honor our reservation with them. Link to comment
