Priceline Hotel: 4* San Antonio (Downtown) Marriott Riverwalk

[TX-Traveller]

A friend has twice had bad luck getting good hotels on PM in San Antonio, so when I needed to go for a weekend, and wanted to stay at a nice hotel on the Riverwalk, I just stuck in a high bid. (I'm generally pretty cheap in my bidding, so $70 for me is high). I bid $70 off the bat for a 4* and got it. The Marriott San Antonio Downtown Riverwalk is on the Riverwalk and across the street from the convention center. Since San Antonio is very popular on weekends all year, but especially summer, I was pleased with the deal I got, and the hotel proved nice though I'd probably give the rooms a 3* for size and comfort. BTW, my bid was for 2 nights, F and Sat, and the total was $171.24 after 31.24 in taxes/fees.

Thanks! You've got a great site here. Read about it in USA Today and was checking it out. I've just finished reading through pretty much everything. I've learned a couple new ideas. We really ought to give some thought to coordinating a study of warning message correlations to bid levels. However, I'm concerned that doing this kind of thing in a public forum is probably counterproductive as PL or hotel managers probably monitor and would pick up on the effort and change the software to defeat such efforts.
