Summary of winning bids on Priceline

[MsSteinrunner]

Residence Inn, Lake Union, Seattle

5/11, 5/12

$67 per night,:)

[Upper Bob]

Got the Westin Grand Vancouver for 5/11/07 for $138 (plus taxes & fees).

[iluvcruzin]

Tuscan Inn Fisherman's Wharf San Fran. $85 per night (plus taxes & fees) 4/19-4/22.

 

To answer Starq1 - The priceline room does not include parking if the hotel charges a fee. $109 isn't bad for a park & stay rate. I stayed there many years ago and it was very close to the pier. Normally I encourage people to use priceline, but in your case, I think you have a good deal when you add the free parking & shuttle.

We put in a bid for $55 rejected then put in bid for $65 and was accepted for a 3 star Crown Plaza for October 20th, 2007. $65 seems to be the going rate for the Crown Plaza on priceline.

Residence Inn, Lake Union, Seattle

5/11, 5/12

$67 per night,:)

 

How far is Lake Union from downtown, and is the access to downtown easy?

[goodml]

I also got the Crowne Plaza for $65 on Priceline for 5/13/07.

 

Between my Priceline acct and my husband's we tried bids of $55, $60, $62 then $65.

[shellseeker]

Hi Bolt

Great price - when are you sailing? We've been trying for October but with no luck.

[geejay]

Marriott San Diego Gaslamp Quarter $92 for 12/149/2007. 4 star.

 

Anyone stayed here??

[EdukatedRedHed]

I've been trying to get rooms in Anchorage and Vancouver for two days with no luck yet! :( Has anyone succeeded in getting a room in Anchorage with Priceline?

[DocJim]

This is the one I wanted, looking for one night pre-cruise for the 10/04/2007 sailing of the Diamond Princess. My bidding started at $60/night and raised my bid until it was accepted at $65/night. The Crowne Plaza has the added advantage of an Enterprise car rental desk. I'm assuming that if I pick up an Enterprise car at LAX I can drop it right at the hotel.

 

Number of Rooms: 1

Number of Nights: 1

Subtotal: $65.00

Taxes & Service Fees: $16.49

Total Charges*: $81.49

We are sailing on the Elation June 11, 2007. I booked the hotel for the 10th.

[shellseeker]

Thanks Bolt. I guess we'll just keep trying. I think we're still a little too early.

[amac9]

well I tried to bid on priceline after reading some great information on this thread :o. We would like to stay at the Hyatt Long Beach April 19 and 20th (cruising out of San Pedro on Diamond Princess April 21/07. I tried Long Beach, then Long Beach plus San Pedro for 4* but was rejected. I will try again tomorrow. This is all a learning experience! Any advice on how to win a bid at this hotel would be appreciated. ;)

[KreinKrunker]

Just got Crowne Plaza Los Angeles Harbor on Priceline for $65 per night. This is for 2/19 and 2/20/2008 precruise. That's two rooms for two nights for a grand total of $306.18. The internet rate for this hotel was $153.

[silentbob007]

I bid for the LAX area for my just-booked May 2007 cruise and figured on taking SuperShuttle to the port ....

 

Anyway, 4* Westin LAX was won for $60 (76 after tax). I bid in $5 increments up from $40.

[kubri32]

$65 is clearly the going rate for Crowne Plaza San Pedro... but not $64.

[trvlcrzy]

Renaissance Seattle (mid-June)

a 3 star in downtown area (free ride zone for metro)

attempted $60 (attempting 2 rooms for 2 nights) -- rejected

reattempted at $77 -- SUCCESS!

 

The hotel's site offered $189.00 per night based on a AAA rate.

[happy cruzer]

Thanks to this thread I got the Crowne Plaza in San Pedro for $65 for one night 5/27. that's during the Memorial day weekend, I am so happy!!!!!

No way to guarantee a cruise parking possibility by using Priceline. You may be able to get more information about the hotels you could win by checking out betterbidding and biddingfortravel. Of coure, if you get the room cheap enough with priceline and the parking option is not offered, it might pay to rent a car to and from home if you're not more than a day's drive away.
