If
you hate paying retail hotel rates but need to know whether your lodging
will be pet-friendly or have two beds, Priceline’s new Express Deals
may be for you.
“We know some travelers are traveling
with kids and need two beds or a pool or a gym, so we developed Express
Deals over the last six months to help those travelers,” said
Christopher L. Soder, CEO of Priceline North America.
Unlike
Name Your Own Price deals where bidders only know a hotel’s star level
and neighborhood in advance, Express Deals reveal hotel amenities, star
level, neighborhood and guest ratings up front. Instead of bidding,
customers choose the deal they want, pay for it, and then Priceline reveals the hotel’s identity.
