Priceline Hotel: 4* Zurich (Center) Marriott

[L4ibsch]

Can you believe this? What is going on around the 2nd of September in Zurich? Tried to book a hotel there 4*, city centre, for one night. Went up all the way to 175$, but still got nothing. Sometimes, these hotels go for way below 100$ on PRICELINE. I'm baffled.

Used the PRICELINE link for starting the bidding.

Rates are date specific... what is the best rate you're able to get for a 4* hotel for the dates of this stay?

I'm seeing hotel direct rates at ~$400/nite.

This thing finally ended with $245 for the Marriott which is by far the most I ever had to pay for a 4* hotel with PRICELINE. It's about half price over booking direct, so I guess I should be happy. But to be honest, I'm not too excited like I usually am with what I get on PL. The Marriott is also a bit far out over what I'd have booked direct (the Schweizerhof) and the tripadvisor reviews don't compare. I guess in hindsight, I'd have booked direct. The person I booked this for had one main concern: proximity to the main train station, the Marriott looses on this one, big time. Zurich Marriott also seems to make sure to treat PL customers as such, judging from tripadvisor experiences.

date: 2nd of September for one night

price: 245$ plus taxes (268$ all in)

Thanks for sharing your win with the board.

As mentioned above, rates are date specific so you really have to judge the deal based upon prevailing rates for your stay... which in this case represents a 50% discount which is an excellent deal, imo.
