Priceline Hotel: 3* Allentown (Allentown-Lehigh Valley) Holiday Inn I-78

[timstravel]

Needed two rooms... quick!

First bid of $59 was rejected, with a rebid offer of $17 more. I ignored that and added Allentown (Downtown) and rebid $70, figuring that would be enough. And I *needed* the rooms.

For reference, the cheapest non-opaque rate I could find was $128++.

Upon checkout, I was presented with the following receipt: :)

Room: $64.95

Taxes: $6.50

Total Due: $71.45

I confirmed with the front desk that I was prepaid, so I would assume the above is what PRICELINE paid for each room.

No surprise that my original bid of $59 was rejected - but they did end up clearing about $20 in total. How low could I have gone, I wonder...
