    I would love to do Priceline, but I don't want to get locked into a hotel that I'll whine about - and DH doesn't want that either ;)

    I just tried to bid on Priceline & went up to $56 a night & was still turned down. ;(

    I've used them in the past, the problem I have is they only have to give you one bed. We got the Candlewood Suites one time for $45 a night, but they would only give us a king bed. For 4 people, the just doesn't work. So unless I get a screamin deal, I don't use Priceline.

    But to me, it has to be a screamin deal to be inconvenienced in that way.
