Priceline Hotel: 3* Pittsburgh (Downtown) Doubletree

[blink]

Again, posting on behalf of a friend.

She made reference to her previous win posted here: Pittsburgh Renaissance

As you know, we won a stay at the 4* Renaissance Hotel Pittsburgh for $70 ($87.52 with fees etc; $90.11 CDN on my credit bill), but when we tried to book a second night at the same hotel (our plans changed), they offered us the room at $142 only.

We tried several times for a 4* up to 100$ a night, and were rejected. So included 3* and tried a first bid of $40.00. They suggested that we increase the bid by $12.00 to be accepted, so we did, and won!

Therefore, our winning bid was $52.00 for 3* Doubletree (downtown):

Your Offer Price: $52.00

Number of Rooms: 1

Number of Nights: 1

Subtotal: $52.00

Taxes and Service Fees: $14.73

Total Charges*:: $66.73 USD (I was charged CDN $67.87 on my credit bill)

We loved both hotels and did not find there to be much difference between the quality levels. The Renaissance has a grander feel, with heritage architecture and high ceilings, but the Doubletree was very comfortable and had better customer conveniences (free use of a computer with internet; free warm cookies; great products in bathroom; great coffee/tea in room). The only drawback to the Doubletree was the parking situation -- I was informed through the 1-800 number that there was free parking at rear...not so -- only valet parking for upwards of 18$. We finally found a city parking a block away that was more reasonable.
