Friends hooked up on Priceline.com in San Fran at the Hyatt this or that for $125 per night ( normally $300 ) Sounded good to me, I was lookin for the same deal, but I wanted to get mine just a LITTLE cheaper (being a devout apexer and all...) So I put in $115 and 4 stars. Came back saying nothing available, you must change something. I had it at 4 stars for 115, so I decide ok, I can eat a little crow and go $125. Still comes back with that same error message " you must change something on your form". ok, so I bump it up to 130. Still, same, so I go down to 3 stars... bingo bango bongo... "you've got mail".

Turns out I paid $5.00 more than the friends to stay in a furkin rat pad in skid row. They're holed up in one of the swankiest hotels in San Fran and here I am like a chump in this stinkin dump. I knew I'd been had, and I tried calling both priceline.com and the stinkin whorehouse where I got "accepted" at (I paid $130 and the normal price... $130) wouldn't cancel the reservation either.

So we check in at this place, I reserved a king and all they have is 2 doubles, in smoking of course, and the whole freakin place is "completely full" and we can't be accomodated.

I will NEVER EVER EVER USE PRICELINE.COM to reserve a hotel room again, I WILL NEVER EVER TELL MY FRIENDS ABOUT PRICELINE.COM except in a "steer clear" mode.
