marnie_g Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Hi Everyone, I tried to get this hotel yesterday. I bid at $100 and got a counter bid at $138. I was not sure as I saw a site where a girl got it for $125 however I think it was in April. I registered with BB and did a little reading and noticed that someone had a win at $128 the reservation just a few days before mine. So I let it go.Tonight I logged in to BB and through this site in to PRICELINE. I thought I would try $120. I still got a counter at $138......... so I took it. I'm tired and I cant be haggling anymore. Got a few more hotels to book and I feel I've done well with my bidding over the last couple of days. Have done even better with the info from members on BB.I really wanted this hotel and I know that its such a good deal - I'm thrilled. so 3 nights at 138 plus 57.23 taxes = $US414Best wishes to all...and thereuare....I didn't forget, i used the PRICELINE link!!!marnie_g :) Link to comment

maryfshort Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 We just returned from Italy and stayed at the Hilton Molino Stucky for three days. It is a gorgeous hotel. It is on a separate island, Giudecca. The hotel offers free shuttle service to St. Mark's Square hourly. One cautionary note, the hotel food prices will stun you. Even for Italy / Europe they seemed really high. We found the local "Coop" (grocery store) on the island. It was only a five minute walk. We stocked up on water, soda, rolls, cold cuts...etc. Hotel was great about emptying the minibar. We plan on returning next year and look forward to staying there again. I hope to spend some additional time exploring Giudecca. Congrats on your win! Link to comment
