Rodeway Inn, Super 8, both in Absecon (near the airport) are listed for $40-$45 +tax. I'm just crashing there, so I don't need anything fancy.

I'd like to stay at a hotel near Atlantic City airport (absecon) tomorrow night since I have an early am flight on Thurs. I lowballed a 2* level at $20 a couple of days ago, knowing that if I didn't get it, I could still bid tomorrow and even if that fails, could still get a hotel for around $45.

My question is what time tomorrow should I bid? I don't have to leave until around 6pm from my home, so I'm thinking bidding right before I leave would give me the best chance of snagging a low rate (since any open rooms for that night most likely won't be sold). I could always add west AC for a 2* and rebid.

Does this make sense?

Thanks!

Booked on 5/28/07:

9/6-9/10 (actually I did 9/6-9/7 first to ensure I got the right hotel, then did 9/7-9/10 which came out to $1 more per night)

Room $95.00

Tax/fees $17.75

Total $112.75

Best non-refundable rate on Hilton's website is $180+ tax = $200 for Courtyard view. Note: following the great suggestions on this forum, I put in for 2 adults and 1 child, even though it's just 2 adults (friends) sharing the room. While I'm hopeful that means I'm getting 2 beds, the confirmation doesn't mention anything.

How do I find out what I got?

The kitchenette is the giveaway for the Hilton. Yesterday, the Westin (I'm pretty sure) was listed and had high speed internet but no kitchenette.
