Priceline Hotel: 3* Pensacola (University Mall-Pensacola North) Residence Inn

[loanshark]

1 night - short notice (i.e. tomorrow), which really limited my normal cheapskate-like bidding.... Targeted the downtown/bay area at first with bids from $65 - $80 for a 3* in $5 increments with no luck..... Next, tried a 2.5* in the target area for $65, hoping for the Courtyard or Residence Inn downtown with no luck again.

Started over, won on the first bid for a 3* using the Univ Mall/North zone.... The cheapest web rate for this hotel was $109, and $121 all-in, which was the lowest I saw for all hotels in the Pensacola area that Priceline could possibly rate as a 3 star. Thus, I still saved about $40 after all taxes/fees, but may have been able to save a little more if I had more time to do the bidding on this one properly.

Used the PRICELINE link for all bids.

Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $65.00

Subtotal: $65.00

Taxes & Fees: $15.51

Total Charges*: $80.51

I am researching a visit to Pensacola and I am pretty certain that this property is located in the "Pensacola Bay" area. It appears to be right next door to the Courtyard and also appears to be the only Residence Inn in Pensacola. Also, that area is the only one for which Priceline offers 3* properties. Just thought I'd let you know for the records.

Thanks for the note.

This was a Residence Inn located at 7230 Plantation Road, Pensacola located in the University Mall-Pensacola North zone. However, since posted, this property has become an InnPlace Suites.
