I love priceline.com!

Daniel is attending a conference at the Sheraton all week in downtown Denver so we thought it would be fun to stay one night together downtown (since every other day of the week he is commuting in and out). Ideally we wanted to stay at the Sheraton. But even for a Tuesday night stay, the price on all the vacation sites was $220 + $30 in taxes, so $250 for just one night. Yikes. A little more than we wanted to pay.

So we went to priceline.com to try out the "name your own price". We were able to choose our location vicinity (downtown Denver) and the star level we wanted (4 star hotels only) and then we named our price. I checked and all of the 4 star hotels in that area were located along the 16th street mall and there were only 9 of them. (One of them being the Sheraton). So we were thinking we had about a 1 in 9 chance of actually getting the Sheraton... and if not... we would be close at least.

We submitted a price of $100. With taxes, it would be $120. We submitted the request and waited to see if we were approved.....

Not only did they accept our request.... but we're staying at the Sheraton!!! We were so thrilled. So instead of a night for $250, we're staying for $120. I love it when things just work out like that!
