BEAV Posted June 17, 2008 Author Report Posted June 17, 2008 I bid for these friends about a month ago, with the exact same results ($11 counter offer on $38 bid, accepted at $42, etc). For the life of me, I can't understand this hotel having such a low Priceline rate on weeknights. Weekends a different story, though, as the hotel is smack dab in the middle of a very large business park (Chevron headquarters right across the street, for example). But no complaints if Marriott wants to give away excess inventory so cheap! Boy are my friends going to be mad if they have to pay $50 (or more) next time! I'll just tell them to find someone else to do their cheapo bookings for them!
