So, I have been using priceline to book hotels. For anyone who doesn't know, you go on line, put in where (what areas of town you want to stay), how many star hotel, and then bid a price. For example, for last night, I said: Hartford, Farmington, Avon, 3.5 star, bid $55. Then priceline either accepts or rejects your offer and assigns you to a hotel. In this case, I got downtown Crowne Plaza.
I have been getting incredible rates, but it's a bit of a risk each time (especially since some Hartford areas are dumps). When you book priceline it's more or less set in stone (no cancellations). Well, this morning I was up waay too early, so decided to book a room for Sunday night. I accidentally booked it for the wrong week (and I happen to know I most likely won't be in town that week). So now I'm stuck with this hotel. Even with the risk of no cancellations and of not knowing what hotel I'll get. At this point, it's still worth it.
