Bid $49 and got it (before taxes) (It was also probably listed as a PRICELINE EXPRESS deal for $55, since this is the only 2.5 star in Fruita and $55 on Hotwire which has it as a 3 star...) I guess Priceline is listing amenities now, it was listed as: Breafast Internet Pool Free Parking Pets allowed Business center 9+ (best deal) Used PRICELINE link

Amenities Complimentary Breakfast Fitness Center Pool(s) Business Center High-Speed Internet Access We are still gathering reviews for this property. Reviews on Tripadvisor are mixed, saying that the pool is out of order. That is not good, as I have two kids and that is pretty much the reason I picked this hotel. I'll report back on how good/bad it was... As always, used the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start my purchases and searches.
Amenities: Airport Shuttle Complimentary Breakfast Pool(s) Business Center High-Speed Internet Access I bid up to $38 on PRICELINE, but with tax it was the same, so I bought on HOTWIRE (with the site link as always)
sorry, I almost exclusively use PRICELINE, though lately HOTWIRE has been better... amenities listed: Fitness Center Restaurant(s) Business Center High-Speed Internet Access Spa Services
couldn't find anything cheaper on Priceline and then this came up on Hotwire. used HOTWIRE link Best Western Palm Beach Airport amenities listed: Airport shuttle B-fast pool laundry High speed internet
I am staying in DC until 5/4, but could not get a reasonable rate (I gave up at $150), so I split my bid and got this for the first four nights at $115 and then found another close hotel (comfort inn for $148) for the last night...it sucks to switch hotels for one night, but I saves alot of money. I actually bid only 3 stars but I guess I got upgraded to 3.5. I've stayed here before and it is very nice and very good location....too bad they nickle and dime you for internet and breakfast... used PRICELINE link.
I messed up the dates...it was only for 1 night from nov 7-nov 8th. BTW...I'm here right now at the Hyatt Place and it is NICE!!! 42'' plasma with HD channels and it's all new. Also, I hate staying at nice places and then they nickel and dime you for extras (internet, bfast). This place has free wireless, free shuttle to airport, and free b-fast. I'm super impressed and probably my most satisfying win ever. Thanks for the board! I've been traveling a lot lately for graduate school interviews and have converted at least 3 ppl to use the board in the last week. hopefully more will come!
bid 3* OKC - 35 bid 2.5* OKC - 35 bid 2* OKC - 30 all rejected - went to hotwire to buy a 2* offered for $29 and could not buy it (kept getting an error code #405) came back to PRICELINE and bid OKC 2.5 and re-bid - 40 OKC and Re-bid #2 - $45 -> Accepted and upgraded to 3 star. It was frustrating that HOTWIRE didn't work and it messed up my bidding strategy...but it all worked out. used PRICELINE link

Bid 4 star using re-bids from $50 to $70 - rejected Saw the new 3.5 star designation and bid DT and got it first try for $50. Should have started lower, this is a great town for re-bid zones. I guess Galt house is now 3.5 stars... Used PRICELINE link.

I just wanted to share a weird experience I had today on Travelocity. I just found out I have to fly from Iowa to Oregon for a funeral this weekend. I searched for cheap flight all over the place and I couldn't find much less than $800. The on Travelocity I found a flight for $797 and it had a button next to it that said it was only $484 for the flight + hotel. I was suspicious but clicked and it was for real. I scheduled the trip and got 2 roundtrip tickets for my wife and I plus five nights hotel for only $484 a person. We probably won't even use the hotel, but this was awesome and saved us about %50. Crazy huh?
No re-bids in Cedar Rapids so I just guessed...wonder how low it could have gone? Public rate was $109, so I bid half. This looks to be the nicest place in town! Of course bid through savingsbarn.com!
