ethansmom Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 I am attending an event in Grapevine and needed a hotel on the north side of DFW. I know the area pretty well and knew where to bid.Tried Airport North first--rejected at $35Added Irving/Las Colinas--rejected again at $35 Received msg from Priceline that stated to add $14 to my bid to ensure my bid area. I refused. I might add I was bidding for a 3* property. I even added a 2.5* because I really need to be as close to Grapevineas possible. So I added Airport South and raised my bid to $40 since that was my absolute limit.Priceline returned with this result:Radisson DFW Airport SouthMarch 12-16 for$40 bid for 4 nightsTotal: $192 and change total.Overall, I am pleased with the result even though it is further out from Grapevine than I wanted to stay but since I know the area well, I am not concerned abut getting lost.Checked radisson.com and the rates were 89, 89, 109 and 129 so over all, an excellent deal :) I used the PRICELINE link on this website.

ethansmom Posted March 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Update: Checked in Friday afternoon and requested a room with 2 beds or a king with a sleeper. I was told that none were available for all four nights, so they upgraded me to a 1 bdrm suite at no extra charge! Great room 2 room suite with 2 Tv's, mini kitchen area, free wi fi and a room with a balcony overlooking the lobby. All in all, a great stay at a fantastic rate. I have no complaints about the room, hotel or staff. Would def. consider bidding in that area again. Never once was I treated any differently as a Priceline customer. :) Would even consider paying full price for the room if I need to in the future. Link to comment
