PLAF2 Posted August 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Stay is September 1-2, 2008. I just discovered this hotel charges $14 a day for parking, could have booked a cheaper hotel in Anaheim area. If you don't want a surprise parking charge, avoid the Costa Mesa-Irvine area. I originally booked a 2.5* hotel and Priceline did me a "favor" of upgrading me to a 3*. This happened to me last year in the same geographic area. Usually a 2.5* will include parking, free internet and even breakfast. A 3* will nickel and dime you for everything. Plus some of the reviews for this hotel are not too favorable. The good thing it is for only a day, but for someone winning this and other hotels in the area for several days, it could ad up. Priceline should let the bidder know about these charges, that they can substantially increase the cost of the hotel. Link to comment
