Another thing about Priceline, parking

David went to Pittsburgh last weekend, and he called me up to find him a hotel room, since I am the wife/travel agent. I went to Priceline because my Holiday Inn rewards points were used up thanks to the 45 hour road trip to and from Oklahoma last month. So I did what I don't usually suggest, I booked a hotel on Priceline. Admittedly, I got a good deal (you can usually swing a really good deal if you book on Priceline for that very night), a $199 hotel room for $58 (pre-tax). Sounds too good to be true?? As is typical with Priceline hotel rooms, it was. With taxes, it was more like a $70 room and then when David got there, and extra $16 a night for parking. Yup, hotel parking... not even a consideration on Priceline, and I have stumbled up against it before. Be aware when you book hotel rooms in city downtown areas that they may tack on 10-20 dollars a night for parking (even more in NYC), though its not usually a problem elsewhere.
