I tried several zones in Columbia for a few days now but with a rather tight budget I had no luck. Today I started at $45, 3*, Columbia Northwest - knowing that the Baymont Inn is available for $58 through regular booking, got denied. After adding Central, I-26 West & Irmo and raising up to $52 I got the Baymont Inn. Then I realized that the total charges through regular booking would have been cheaper, not even 2 bucks but ... I'm really suprised that this can happen. Used betterbidding PRICELINE link.
