Priceline Hotel: 3* Austin (Downtown) Doubletree Guest Suites

[sandman642]

I've danced around Priceline every three or four days since the end of June with $58-60 dollar bids for 3* and 4* hotels in the downtown area, all rejected.

I tried again this morning (using the handy betterbidding PRICELINE link) - my first bid ($60 bid for a 4*) was rejected, so I added 3*, finally broke the $60 barrier, and ended up successful.

Yikes! I did a little more checking around and found out this place charges $12/day for onsite parking. Being "frugal," we may have to get creative with parking during our stay...
