GumboChief Posted May 3, 2009 Author Report Posted May 3, 2009 I am very, very happy.I bought some nights at the Westin via HOTWIRE, first. When I could not get all of my nights there, I decided to try priceline, as I did not really care where in particular I ended up.My hotwire was $229 a night, so I was going to instinctively bid $200 via priceline.I am glad I checked the bidding history here first! Saved at least $80 a night by doing so!Here is the full bill breakoutRoom Cost (avg. per room, per night): $120.00 (USD) Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 2 Room Subtotal: $240.00 (USD) Taxes and Fees: $26.66 (USD) Total Room Cost: $266.66 (USD)
