Last year I did quite a bit of priceline stays, but now it is very rare for me to bid on a priceline room. I own my own business and take my family on a lot of trips and with 3 kids 3 and under I would rather pay $150 a night for an Embassy Suites than $29.00 for a priceline stay in a regualr hotel room.

I cam e to that conclusion after getting stuck in the Candlewood Suites in Rockford, IL. We got there at 11:00 PM and found out the room had one full size bed and a lazy boy. They offered no cribs and no maid service. So I had to go buy sleeping bags and a playpen at a Wal Mart at midnight.

I do travel by myself some, but I prefer a hotel that has a restaurant etc, so it is very rare for me to bid on priceline anymore. They don't take Diner's Club and it takes up to an hour and a half sometimes to play the bids. I have stayed at the Atlanta Hilton for $25.00 on priceline, but now I don't want to risk getting stuck in a dump.
