Buffalo Marriot on priceline.com

Does anyone know if you still get the Buffalo Marriot if you choose the 3 1/2 star hotel when booking on priceline.com

Thank you

Booked for Dec 29th 2011 and got Marriott. You can check the two boards that support Priceline www.biddingfortravel.com and www.betterbidding.com to see if there are any new ones added because you never know...

Great hotel have stayed there a few times and yes it still is the only 3.5* category in all 8 geographic zones for Buffalo so you can bid up to 8 times within a 24hr period. Usually you can get it for $60 when bidding a few days before your stay. Leave your car for free and take shuttle even when booking on priceline. Someone just reported getting it for $60 over on another canadian forum.

I've stayed there as well. A friend asked and I don't want to send her down the wrong path.

Thank you

Great to know! Are you talking about Buffalo Marriot Niagara? I don't need to book the "Park here Fly there" package to get the benefit? What if I need to park 16 or 17 nights, do they allow? I don't mind to pay a fee for extra days.

Yes it is the Buffalo Marriott Niagara. I have left vehicle for 12 days without any issue. All you do is register your licence plate at front desk and when you are returning and take free shuttle to airport. It is much cheaper than any park and fly rate and is a great hotel.

Does anyone have any experience with staying there with 6 people? The max it allows is 5, but our kids are small and can share beds easily.

Bad News everyone.
There is now another hotel that is 3.5*, and it's right around the corner from the Marriott! The hotel Indigo could be the 'winner' on bidding on Priceline. Be very careful what you bid for right now.
Maybe we'll luck out come November and they'll remove it again...
