Priceline: First Time

OK, based on Kari using hotwire, I kinda looked into the sites she used to understand how they work, and I booked a hotel for our quick little jaunt over the mountains for Gabe's meeting next weekend. I wondered if it would work, since it is Valentines Day and all, but I was booking for Fri night, not Saturday. Here's my results:

Clarion Hotel, Federal Way
$50/night, plus $13.89 in taxes/fees.

I am a little nervous (I have really bad luck booking hotels online!), but this seems to be a nicer one and their site lists the prices for that night starting at $95. I just didn't like that once you put in your information and submit your bid, you're done- no backing out. Hopefully it will all work out well!

I will let you know... I don't think we've done a Clarion before. But for $50, it beats Motel 6, Super 8, or Days Inn ;-)

Hope it works out ok! What fun getting away right before valentine's day. I always go to trip advisor for info about the hotels, and it sounds like the Clarion is nice.
