Used the board PRICELINE link.
Saw the recent post where the win was at $48 first try, so I went with $47 and got it first try.
Yeah, so if anyone has to stay in Huntersville, don't go for the 2.5 star level. This place is a crap hole- had to move rooms twice and the room still sucks.
Kind of surprising- usually PRICELINE 2.5* is just fine. Not this time.
Used the board link. Saw on another few posts that this one had gone for $50, so I gave $45 a whirl. This is $35 less than the coupon price.
tried $35 on 3.5 stars- no luck, tried $37 on 3 stars-no luck, added S. Newport News and jumped to $50 cause I had to have them and bingo.

Oh, I also forgot to mention that the place was in a fine neighborhood. Absolutely nothing around but a few office buildings, but the metro is about a 1/2 mile away.
Got it on the first try. I hate it when that happens.
Started $45, $5 rebid increments, $72 counteroffer at $55, won at $65. Great location & hotel near metro, across from Greenbelt Park.
NOTE: Priceline has split Greenbelt & Hyattsville zones! Current Greenbelt zone tightly drawn around this location, good hotels. No longer a risk of getting inconvenient Carrollton/Landover Courtyard or awful & inconvenient Radisson Hotel Largo. Win!
What do you have against that Radisson? I probably have stayed there 2 dozen times and never had a problem, other than the treadmills suck. Oh, and the occasional 6th grade field trip making a bunch of racket.
Another question- how is that Landover Courtyard? I am due in there next week.
Sorry, forgot to mention that I used your PRICELINE link to make my bid, as is my normal practice.
got it on the 1st try. Apparently Priceline has changed name of zone- it also looks like they modified the area some too.
I've stayed in Largo/Landover countless times, but never here. I am a little worried- there can be some bad neighborhoods up there.
Took a few tries- I started with $40 and 3.5* Hampton only, then $45 added Newport News, then $46 added 3*
The new PRICELINE EXPRESS booking wanted $49, so I saved enough to buy coffee anyways.
Saw all of the other winning $60 bids, so went with it and got it first try.
2 rooms, got it on the first try.

BTW- I like the new board setup.
Got it on the first try.
Tried $60 for a 3.5* and priceline countered with $72. Changed to 3* and $62 and got it instantly. Judging by what others paid for this place earlier this year, I probably could have done better.

Started at $35 and worked my way up to $42 with about 6 different bids. There are 10 different location options, but only a few have 2.5 stars so was able to keep adding locations and sticking with 2.5 stars. Coupon book rate on this was $63, so good deal there. It is a Baymont though, so 2.5 stars is not a guarantee.
