yellowdog Posted August 21, 2009 Report Posted August 21, 2009 Congratulations on your success!Thank you for sharing your win with the board and using our PRICELINE link to begin your bidding :) We hope that the hotel is better than the reviews.Have a nice stay.Yellowdog.
thereuare Posted August 21, 2009 Report Posted August 21, 2009 In reading the reviews this may be an instance where the amount paid is a factor in how much you do/don't like this property. The reviews dont' seem too bad, but there just isn't anything 'special' about this property. For the amount of your PRICELINE bid you may find it a very good value and would even be willing to return... but if paying rack rate you may have an entirely different opinion of the property.Good luck.. hope you enjoy your PRICELINE stay. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
BigCheese Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Posted August 27, 2009 I agree with theruare. I guess the reviews are not fantastic BUT it is only one night, into a whole "holiday" as we say on the UK (not vacation). I would have a different expectations paying $58 a room than $158 a room, that's a fact.Thanks everyone. Will certainly use betterbidding from now on, I'm a convert.
