Lodging-has anyone used Priceline?

[dykg]

Just curious to know if any of the forum members have used Priceline to book any hotel reservations in the Lakes Region area-Laconia or near Meredith?
Do any of hotels subscribe to Priceline? if so, has anyone had any experience with this?

...don't know if this helps but I used Priceline when I was in San Diego.

Went on line about 20 minutes before arriving at the hotel and made an offer of $99 on a $149 a night hotel. 3 star...nothing extravagant but clean and nice.

Hotels would rather have you pay a lesser amount than having the room empty and not making any profit.

Hope this helps.

I have used Priceline and hotwire for other areas and found they work much better for large cities with many chain hotels. I have found many smaller or independent hotels do not participate. If you look on hotels.com or the priceline non-bidding section it might give you a sense of the hotels that might participate in priceline bidding.

If you do not mind bringing your own linens I might be able to rent you our unit in Laconia. Let me know if you would like more info and what dates you are looking for : )
