Ingalls

Trying to get a 2.5* in downtown Indy for cheap, I referenced a previous post where the person used Indy Northeast as a free bid zone, not having a 2.5*. Well, it turns out that, in my rush, I selected Indianapolis East instead of Indianapolis Northeast and Indy East does have a 2.5*. I tried a $45 in DT Indy and then upped it a lot to get downtown, tried a $58 and got Best Western Crossroads. I'm a little frustrated by my lack of planning and knowing what I won, I know I could have gone at least $10 cheaper to get that same hotel. Oh well, so I end up getting a Best Western on the outskirts of Indy. I'm sure this could be the beginning of an interesting experience in Indy! At the end of the day, it does offer free breakfast and if that breakfast is good, that amenity alone can still redeem the trip!

On the first try, attempted 3* in #1 Fort Wayne region for $36 and got it first try, I new I had a second rebid by using the FW N region (highest hotel was a 2.5*) so I wish I would have gone lower! Will still take a $36/room =) Reserving two rooms family on Thanksgiving weekend and received a $36/both rooms, making it $90.06. Pretty good deal in the Fort. As always, used the Betterbidding PRICELINE link!

Saw a similar post for the downtown Hilton for $51 and tried to go lower. Tried a bid of $46 and did not get anything, so I added another location without a 3.5* hotel (Speedway) and won it on a second bid of $49! Total is $64.41 w/tax. Love this site and I used the PRICELINE link. Thanks!
