ql2112 Posted May 11, 2003 Report Share Posted May 11, 2003 Your Offer Price: $55.00 Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 1 Subtotal: $55.00 Taxes: $4.68 Processing Fee: $5.95 Total Charges: $65.63 Assuming 12% tax I overbid 16$ :) About two weeks previous to the accepted bid I started bidding on 3* properties in Burlington, VT. Bids ranging from 40$ to 55$ were rejected.My conclusion is that I started bidding too early: there just were no rooms yet. The day of my accepted bid apparently some rooms were offered to PL, resulting in my accepted bid.Problem with Burlington is that only two hotels (as far as I can tell) offer rooms on PL, so a situation like I encountered is likely to happen.

ql2112 Posted May 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2003 Came back from my trip to Burlington, VT. The hotel bill showed a daily rate of $52 and a tax rate of 9% ($4.68), so my overbid was less than I thought.Didn't use many of the facilities in the hotel (it has a pool, exercise room, bar and restaurant), so I can't give a complete review. However my Starwood Gold status was recognized (showed card at check in) and was given room on "Preferred Guest Floor". How much of an upgrade that is I don't know but it is nice to see that status is recognized on a PL stay. Also staff was very friendly. Link to comment
