betterbid Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 For a 3* hotel 8/1 to 8/2 in the ALB Airport zone began beginning at $47 over a period of a week with a variety of rebid zones in various increments up to $57. Interestingly did not receive any counter offers as in my previous Priceline attempts in other cities. Bid of $61 was accepted at the Holiday Inn Turf On Wolf Road. I was expecting the Hotel Indigo in the $51 to $55 range based on previous posts near this timeframe. There are a number of events this weekend in Albany and a large wedding at the hotel. According to the clerk at check in, only 10 handicapped rooms remained available. Listed prices began at $129 plus tax making this a reasonably good Priceline deal in our opinion.Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $61.00Taxes & Service Fees: $15.53Total Charges*: $76.53The hotel is massive with a series of older and newer buildings. The hotel was gracious to accommodate our request for 2 beds non-smoking prior to our arrival. The newer building was not available on check in. Our assigned room in the indoor pool building was nicely renovated and beautifully decorated. The bathroom was modern but more like a Holiday Inn Express with plastic cups. Unfortunately we missed using the BetterBidding PRICELINE link the last time. Link to comment
