Very surprised to get that at this price considering that the Steelers will be hosting the AFC Championship game that day. It's the same price that I knew had been accepted for a regular weekday, so I started with it and nailed it on the first bid.

Here we go Steelers, here we go!!

Thank you for posting your win (as well for using the site's PRICELINE link.)

While it is surprising that this hotel accepted when the AFC's happening, glad they did. May just be a sign of the times - there's been a lot of similar incidents of hotels accepting the unexpected lately.

Enjoy your trip. :)

Even more surprising is that when I go directly to the hotel website this morning, it tells me there's no availabilty for that date.

Unless someone booked a huge block of rooms this morning (the Ravens, maybe?), it's practically unheard of for a PRICELINE room to be awarded with a hotel close to capacity.
