Priceline.com is the freaking bomb...

[FD_Bowhunter]

Anyone who is going on vacation needs to look at a discount hotel site. I called the Marroitt Hotel and I got a quote of $135 per night for three nights. Ouch!!! I got on priceline.com and bid my own price, no mambe pambe stuff here . I got the same hotel for $65 per night, total bill w/ taxes for 3 nights was $160.36.

I looked at airfare last week, just could not bring myself to pull the trigger.
Too many connections, paid a lot more for a direct flight for Kimberly.

Us too. We booked a room at the Anatole in Dallas for Sunday night for about $60.

I'm no math whiz, but wouldn't $65 a night be $195?

Yup. That's a WHOLE lot better than 135x3....

think he was referring to this:
for $65 per night, total bill w/ taxes for 3 nights was $160.36. ....


$65 x 3 = 195 ...not 160.36...

Oh goodness spelling mods and now math mods....

well since the whole point of the OP was how much one could save with priceline... think it's appropriate to question the math used

[hyperlitejb]

I didn't know you could bid on certain hotels....Can you do that?

The Marriott hotels are pretty popular for getting the price you want. 90% of the time I use priceline thats the hotel I get to stay at. There has only been a couple times I haven't but still get nice rooms at other places.

Do you select a particular type or class of hotel to ensure you don't get a bite from Motel 6?
