HOTWIRE had no properties in Fankenmuth proper and I wanted to stay in Frankenmuth. Tried the day before (started at $65 and was given the opportunity to accept $88 for a 3* property). Did not want to go that high so tried at a maximum of $75 (with my two free rebids) and lost. This morning I started at $78 (no taker), added Birch Run (no 3* property in that zone) and bid $83 which was accepted. With taxes and fees, it was $99.79. Total savings was 17.5% (cheapest price with taxes was $120.99). A decent deal at good property.
