I'm going to Erie on Friday 7/22. However, for last few days I attempted the hotel booking on 2.5* but I'm unable to get anything. There is no rebid zone for Erie, PA. My budget is with maximum $75 plus $16.5 fee Apparently only Springhill Suite Erie is available for 2.5* Price for 7/22 check-in on 7/12 is US$169, but now they say "standard rate" is not available. Tried on 7/12, person A, $66 - suggests to add $20 for $86 Tried on 7/12, person B, $68 - suggests to add $20 for $88 Tried on 7/13, person A, $70 - suggests to add $20 for $90 Tried on 7/13, person B, $72 - suggests to add $20 for $92 Tried on 7/14, person A, $74 - suggests to add $20 for $94 Tried on 7/14, person B, $76 - suggests to add $20 for $96 Next cheapest one with same rating is US$119 walk-in rate at Wingate by Wyndham. (Hotwire gives $105 on this one, but I can get 500 airline miles if I go for walk-in rate, which is comparable). I do not want to go for 2* because it would be microtel. Am I running out of luck? Should I wait for a few days and try again at lower rate? or should I spend a bit more to get the hotel?
