lovefletch Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Hi guys, sorry it took me so long to post this. So, I used Priceline and started the bidding at $80 and chose both the Sedona and Flagstaff areas, but only selected Resort, because I knew I wanted nothing less and it had to be in Sedona, not Flag.So, I did this for a few days and on my max bid I got the Radisson Poco Diablo for $100, plus tax ($120 or so).Initially, I was really hoping for the Hilton, because my fiance and I are both Gold, so we might get an upgrade. The reviews are "sketchy" on tripadvisor, but boy did we luck out!Review:We arrived around 2pm. Fiance ran in and was greeted by a wonderful front desk clerk. The guy (young man) confirmed the reservation and said, hmmm, I'm sorry but your room is being cleaned. Would you mind an upgrade? No, wait, a double upgrade? :)So, we walked up to our room, about three stories up. It was a nice big room, with cathedral ceilings and a balcony overlooking the golf course. There was also a fireplace, jacuzzi, and wet bar. The bed was a sleep number, which we both found uncomfortable even after numerous adjustments. We also ate down at the lounge, which had a limited menu. The food was eh, but the bartender was quick and very friendly. Overall, we definitely got lucky, but this was an AMAZING deal. The room was spotless, service excellent, and it was also a great location. Honestly, the Hilton is nice, but it way far from town. I also used the better bidding PRICELINE link each and every time I did a bid or re-bid. note: We tried booking a room for Flagstaff on Priceline, aiming for the 3 star range, bidding all the way up to $70 for the Saturday (1/17) night. The Radisson woodlands was listed as $98 on a site, but we were rejected all the way through. Ended up at the Weatherford, in one of their $130 rooms. (A fun place to go out and good location, but the room leaves something to be desired!)Thanks better bidding!
