any luck with Priceline?

[SteveA]

As a very frequent traveler for business, I used Priceline on occasion. Frankly, the only thing I did was use them to "narrow down" the hotels that looked like they would suit my needs. I looked at the reviews and looked for a consistent "quality" based on the reviews people posted.

After making a list of what looked good and noting the Priceline price and the hotels phone number I would call the hotels directly and 9 out of 10 times get a better deal booking directly with the hotel.

The other thing I learned about Priceline was... if you do book with them, they will fill your email with junk forever! I would strongly advise that you get yourself a free Yahoo or GMail account and use that for any of the travel and shopping sites you buy from.

I will say that I've never had any friends that stayed at Church Landing in Meredith that didn't rave about the experience... just sayin...
