I booked a hotel room for my daughter at Country Inn & Suites in St Paul MN. I thought I was booking directly with the hotel. Unfortunately the room got booked through Priceline. If I had booked directly with the hotel my cost would have been $533.00. Priceline charged me $691.00. A $158 difference. When I contacted Priceline they told me that I had gotten a "special rate". UH? A special rate for $158 more? I don't think so. STAY AWAY from Priceline!
