Be careful when bidding for a room! I wanted a hotel in Seattle airport area. I first check three star hotels and disccovered poor reviews for a couple (in the $90 range). The Red Lion especially had poor reviews.
So, I bid $110, hoping this would avoid the low priced hotels and get me one with better rating.
Guess what? I got Red Lion. Now I am stuck with a $110 rate, and I could have booked it on Priceline for $89.
This just isn't right. I emailed Priceline and was told I would get response in 2 hours. That was three days ago.
Very disappointed in this service by Priceline. I have used them for several years with good results, but it just isn't right to bid higher than the rack price and get stuck with an inferior property.
