Looks like this one - Courtyard by Marriott - is a new 2.5* one for your list for the Indy airport area. My 1st bid of $35 for 2.5* airport area was rejected. I got the "up it by $9" counteroffer but I'm too cheap for that...lol! I played around with another window open, found that there are no 2.5* properties in the Speedway area so I added that :) , left my dates the same, and upped the bid to $39. Bingo! Cheapest rate on the hotel's site was $61 with AAA discount. Travelocity, Expedia, and Cheaptickets were all listed at $64.

It might be the Wyndham, across the street (Griffin Rd) from the Sheraton. I got a 3* on Hotwire for last December (made reservations June '03) for a conference and my confirmation said Hilton. When I got there to check in, it had changed at the beginning of the week to the Wyndham. Nice place, outstanding service, and they do list an airport shuttle on their website. Wyndham Ft Lauderdale Airport HTH.

Here's another one for you to add to the FL list! 3* Doubletree in Tallahassee, downtown (university area) for $52 for 6/24. With taxes, etc., total is $64.95. Cheapest rate (w/AAA discount) on the site is $103.55. Amenities listed were restaurant, pool, & fitness ctr. Tried Priceline1st again, & had $58 bid for same criteria rejected, even after 3 free rebids that added north & south Tallahassee, then added 2.5*.

First time I used Hotwire & what a *sweet* deal I got thanks to this site! I really needed to go ahead & book a room for a conference I'm going to in December - was afraid to wait til the last minute like I usually do...lol! Anyhow, I got the 3* Hilton Ft Lauderdale (new one for you to add to your 3*'s in the FLL Airport area too!) for $66 a night for my conference in December. With taxes, etc., the total is $152.95. Beats the pants off the :) "great" :) conference rate of $119/night! Amenities listed were airport shuttle, restaurant, pool, fitness ctr, business ctr, & tennis nearby. Now... I did go to Priceline 1st, based on the info here & at TOBB (am I allowed to say that here?). With the info gleaned from both sites, I *knew* the 3* airport had to be either the Sheraton or the Hilton. I first bid $55 at Priceline for the same criteria just to see if I could undercut Hotwire (yeah, I'm cheap! lol!) & when that came back declined, I decided to go w/Hotwire since I was virtually POSITIVE that I would get the Sheraton or Hilton. Thanks for all the helpful information here on your site - it really helped me!
