  • Cheapest way to buy a hotel room - PRICELINE
Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

Had fantastic luck this past weekend getting a 4* hotel room for $109/night. It was listed on hotels.com for the same days at $246/night. My friend who is a manager at a hotel in Chicago told me about Priceline and how they'll sell their rooms for dirt cheap just because it's better than nothing. They key is you have to submit a bid for the room and you don't know which hotel you will be staying in. You pick an area of the city, how many stars you want (i just picked 4 so I knew I'd get a great hotel) and then submit your bid. Was well worth it!

Yeah, i did that before for a Hotel downtown Nashville, TN. This was easily 5+ years ago, but got a 4* for about 60-70 bucks. Well worth it.

I once booked a night in the Hyatt Regency in Jersey City (http://jerseycity.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/index.jsp) on the same day i checked in on priceline for $45/night. The hotel is literally on the Hudson River and our room overlooked the NYC skyline. The train that goes under the hudson to WTC was right outside the front door of the hotel. I couldn't believe it. Ever since I've been sold on priceline. Sometimes you hit the jackpot.

One time I got a hotel room on the Thames from Priceline that had them paying ME $50 per night. Beat that, bitches.

One time I slept on the beach because I got too drunk the night before. When I woke up, my wallet was missing. What do I win?

One time I slept on the beach cause I got too drunk. When I woke up I had over 100 bites on my feet, legs, and arms that eventually popped and pussed for a few days from sand-fleas. Do I get a prize too?

One time I found a passed out guy with on the beach with a Ludwig Von Mises t-shirt on. I took his wallet, but it only had sixty-three cents and a condom that had permanently burned a pattern into his wallet. What do I win?

I think I actually did worse than getting nothing. That's depressing...

Turns out the condom was one of the mini-joke ones. At least I think it was a joke.
