Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Colorado Springs (South) Antlers Hilton

[mchouse]

I just learned about this forum from a friend. This is a much better forum, Sorry I didnt use your link but I will be sure to do so on future bids. These are my results so far for a family vacation to Colorado.

3.5*Antlers Hilton,7-18 1 night Colorado Springs $44,

2.5*Springhill Suites, Longmont $40 7-19 1 night and

3* Holiday Inn ,Frisco 1 night 7-20 $42..

I used a combination of free rebid and waiting the 24 hours, It probably took me a little over a week to get these results but it was worth it.

The hotel website says they charge $11 per day for parking. :) Is that common with a 3.5 star hotel? AAA gives it a 4 star rating. Also, I just wanted to clarify if you bid north or south. It looks further south on the map.

Its a south zone hotel .. yes, that is very typical for 3-4* hotels, especially downtown locations, the way I look at it I just got a 3.5* for $44 per night I'm not going to complain about the parking fee...

Just returned from my trip, Definitly got pricelined at Antlers in Colorado springs, called 1 month in advance and requested 3 king rooms, spoke to "Jerry" and he confirmed 3 king rooms, He didnt explain to me that all I could do was request the king rooms. When I arrived Priceline was mentioned and was told by the lady at the front desk that the only rooms available were 1 queen bed rooms ,I told her that I had requested 3 king rooms and spoke to Jerry and she told me that Jerry didnt work there, rooms were very small , the bathroom door hit the toilet in the bathroom and wouldnt open all the way. Ive had nicer rooms at a 2 star hotel !!! On the plus side , free internet in your room and didnt get charged for parking ..Was it worth $44 ? yes , you cant stay at a Motel 6 for that price .... Just be wary when you are bidding on 3.5* in South Colorado Springs zone you will probably get the Antlers and they will definitly "Priceline" you... Also noticed when checking in to the other 2 properties that I used Priceline on that the Hotels reservation system will automatically put you in the the least desirable room,example :2 doubles smoking etc... You have to request the rooms that you want ... Last year on my vacation the front desk usually asked me first what room I would like before I had to say anything... Also Priceline was mentioned at each property I stayed , but I didnt experience any hostility except Antlers...
