I did get the room through hotwire...and it is the Days Inn. Not that I think many will be staying in Albany, GA, but I will post my experience when I get back. I have read on tripadvisor that the hotel is outdated and not in the best part of town. we'll see.

Thanks.. It's not that I think $39 is expensive by any means. It's just that I'm not familiar with Albany, GA. I'm having to go there for some training for employer and the person in charge of the trainig told me that the area where the hotels are is kinda dumpy and suggested that I only stay at that one hotel that was 119 on priceline. I'd go for the $39 ones but fear that may be the bad ones they said to stay away from. Unfortunately there's no way to decipher which hotels they are. I'm torn. Pay the big bucks and know I"m staying at a safe hotel or risk paying $39 and staying in a bad place.

Okay, I hope I'm posting this in the right place. I've been trying to get a room in Albany, GA for 2/25 - 2/28. This is a Monday- Thursdy morning stay. So no PRIME DAYS. Albany, GA is a large town....small city. I've gone to priceline and Hotwire. Hotwire only shows two hotels and the prices area 46 and 35 dollars. The highest being a 2 star (so probably it's a 1). Priceline shows lots more hotels upto a 2.5*. The rate though is $119. I've bid $60...nothing. Today I bid $65 and checked both 2* and 2.5*....nothing. So I guess I'm wondering if the bidding techniques go out the window when trying to get a room in a small town. Priceline doesn't give me different areas of Albany, GA. It's all just one area. Can anyone offer any advice on how I might be able to avoid paying through the nose for 3 nights in the middle of the week? Thanks!
