trulyblest

Sorry if I am asking too much, but worth a shot. I have stage IV Melanoma and I want to go somewhere this weekend that has an outdoor pool and allows smoking. My hubby smokes and I am working on quitting.

Hotel can be anywhere in Cincinnati, northern KY area.

However, I have been too sick to go anywhere this summer and I have spent 3 hours on here trying to figure out where to go that has both of the above, on top of that I can't spend more than about 65.00.

Any help will be appreciated. For tonight or tomorrow.

I am still looking but will need some help, my mind is a bit confused from the treatments.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Also, HOTWIRE has a 4* in the Covington-Riverfront area for $79; You could attempt to bid on the Riverfront-Convington area for $50 at the 4*, then 3.5* and then 3* levels to see if any hotels would accept.

Aaron,

Thanks again! I called the Parker House Inn B & B, I wouldn't have found it if it weren't for you. They had 1 room left and were wonderful, they offered the room to me for $75.00. I gladly booked it, it is right down the street.

I appreciate your thoughtfulness and time you put into helping me and now, I can rest a little easier.

We did get a little good news, although he is on a breathing tube, he finally squeezed his dad's hand. So, we know he is responding. The next 24-48 hours are critical for him.

I am constantly amazed at some of the wonderful people you can find on the internet,blessings to you and your family.

Actually, now that I look - it does appear to be the same property. I'm not terribly familiar with the Cincinatti area, but I'm more than happy to help! :)

Would $50 plus tax be the desired max you would want to pay?

No, that was just the amount that I saw when doing a search of sucessful bids.

Just now got off the phone with the Marriott hotel and they are SOLD OUT! Ughhh.........no rooms at the inn, gotta figure something else out. We are expecting like 8 inches of snow.

Thanks so much Aaron!

EDIT: Update, he does have a car, and the shuttles are not running due to the snow. I am looking for something close, clean, shower and a little rest.

I'm also trying to look for "Plan B" alternatives in terms of hotels, as well. There are options by the airport (including one for $36 w/breakfast), although that would be about 10MI from the hospital area.

Thanks Aaron, I know sometimes people report the strategy they used to obtain the hotel they have, sorting areas by stars, etc., but we have been up all night and I can't concentrate. I am not sure, but it looks as if the Kingsgate Conference Center and the Marriott Kingsgate at University of Cincinnati are the same hotel??? Also, he doesn't have a car with him, so the hotel needs to have a shuttle, which appears Marriott does.

So are you snowed in the area as well?? Or just looking to visit our fine city?

Good afternoon. I'm very sorry to hear about the situation. :) :)

There's no way to ensure a particular hotel, but we can try to find a hotel in the area.

Let me see what I can find - I'll be back shortly.

Thank you so much for quick reply! Can i pay for it? We are cashed strapped to, but who isn't these days.

I am helping my son-in-law secure a room, need the hotel tonight by University Hospital in Cincinnati. The Marriot Cincinnati Kingsgate has a special for critical care patients families of $99.00, but now is a tough time for them financially.

On top of that his son is on life support at University hospital. Need to get a room at this hotel, saw some successful bids on here, for about 50.00 but not sure how to go about making sure this is the hotel they get.

Can anyone help me please, my mind is spinning + I can't figure it out right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Prayers for Aaron please too. Thanks so much.

(Also, can I pay with my credit card and put the reservation in his name)

Thanks, after reading the reviews, i think we will pass. Now, to figure out the PRICELINE zones, etc. kind of confusing. Appreciate the help so much!

Do I put my review here, or in another area of the forum?

We are staying Fri. June 22,2007 til Sun. June 24. Actually there are about 5 other (couples) family members that are going. I saw the Super 8 as well, but no stars listed. Then when going to name your own price, it looks like I can pick 2 stars or 1 star...YIKes :)

Just found you guys recently and didn't realize there were board links, now I just got to figure out how to use them properly.

Appreciate all the help!

1st time booking in Defiance, OH, small town. Shows 2 star hotels to bid on, but only 3 hotels in Defiance and 2 of them are 3 star. The last of the 3 hotels is a Super-8 and shows NO stars.

Any idea what hotel(s) would be the 2 star we would be bidding on? Would they consider Napoleon, OH

(18 miles away) included with Defiance.

Thanks for any help! Keep up the good work!
