BEAV Posted May 13, 2008 Report Posted May 13, 2008 I was bidding 2.5 stars for a friend. Initial bid of $38 produced counteroffer to add $11 ($49). Although there are no free rebids at the 2.5 level, I added the Lafayette-Concord zone as we rarely see 2.5 bids in this price range in this zone. Since the 3 star Sheraton Four Points often comes in the low $40's I knew it was possible to be upgraded when I entered my rebid at $42. Bid of $42 was accepted, but I was susprised to get assigned the 3* Marriott San Ramon. The surprise being this hotel priced this low on a weeknight. Is the presumed recession finally taking a toll on business travel? Marriott San Ramon Pleasanton - San Ramon2600 Bishop Drive San Ramon, California 94583 Check-In Date:Tue, May 13, 2008 Check-Out Date:Thu, May 15, 2008 Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $42.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $17.25 Total Charges*: $101.25 Priceline rate of $42 represents an 84% savings over the Marriott.com rack rate of $269 for these dates. Bid placed through BetterBidding link to PRICELINE .
