seouljah Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 PRICELINECompletely threw me off when I saw this one come up..it's either Holiday Inn Renton or Courtyard Marriott Seatac/Southcenter time after time.After staying there, am EXTREMELY pleased with this, and now hope this comes up EVERY time when I bid Renton/Kent. Will be bidding again for tomorrow night's stay shortly and will post those results.I think it was a sold out night, I called in prior to check-in to request a 1 king, she said only smoking I said fine. I get there maybe 30 minutes later, check in, go into my room, and I first notice the No Smoking sign, then go into the suite, it's 2 DOUBLES. Smallest beds EVER. I go back downstairs, "Oh i'm sorry it's already taken."How the #$&% is it taken when you told me yourself you just locked me into it? Regardless, she gave me a free coupon for breakfast buffet and offered a movie. NICE.Made out like bandits, watched "I Love You, Man", used the pool (WOW other hotels PLEASE LEARN something....they close the pool at 12!), lifted some weights. Sauna was out of order :)Love love love this hotel for $40ish in Renton, I hope to never get Holiday Inn Renton ever again, and I'd take Courtyard since they have indoor pool too.For those of you that are vets...is this a summer thing where Doubletree uses priceline?
