pennstate22 Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 I am organizing a large trip for 15 people to Newport, RI for 4th of July weekend. Unfortunately, I couldn't use the bonus money for a number of complicated reasons but I did use the PRICELINE link on the website. I will post the 3 winning bids separately....been researching this for a while and I'm pretty sure I got an amazing deal. Their best rate (pre-paid) is $343 per night. So, it's basically a 2 for 1 on 4th of July weekend.Hotel Viking - 3.5*Goat Island - Newport & Newport BeachOne Bellevue AvenueNewport, Rhode Island 02840401-847-3300Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $155.00Subtotal: $310.00Taxes & Service Fees: $52.92Total Charges*: $362.92Check-In Date:Fri, Jul 3, 2009 / After 04:00 PMCheck-Out Date:Sun, Jul 5, 2009 / 11:00 AM Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Congratulations on your success!This is a GREAT deal vs. a covnentionally booked room. While $150+ is still a lot of money for a hotel room (yet not for this area), the fact that there is availability in this area for the holiday weekend is a sign of the times... i suspect that in previously years there was no (or very little) inventory available to PRICELINE or HOTWIRE for most summer weekends, let alone for the July 4th weekend.Glad to see you were able to get such a nice deal and are happy with the results.Thank you for sharing your win with the board and using our PRICELINE link to begin your bidding.Enjoy your stay. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
