what's the general rule when bidding on priceline? can I select a 3* and still get stuck with a junky hotel? how can I figure out what bid will be accepted?
You can go with their express deals. It's easy to figure out the hotel by looking at the area and amenities and comparing that to the priceline published rates.

Anyone been there recently? Have they fixed it up at all?
Just went last week. Apple of eden room all inclusive. Wasn't bad at all
Reading the comments on Trip Advisor. Still has an 80's look to it.

What really fascinates me is that they have a major marketing campaign by buying billboards on major roadways and the reviews on trip advisor tell you all you need to know.

I was in Tobyhanna a couple of weeks ago, so went to Scranton for minyanim and food. Nice area.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.
