Yeah, not using the PRICELINE Cash is a bummer, but I don't want to book such a long stay just yet since there are no refunds. Kinda want to wait till trip was 4-5 weeks away. I should have been clearer, my fault. Day 1 (3/31/11)- This has to be a hotel near the MOA. Day 2-3 (4/1/11 & 4/2/11) This can be either by the MOA or Downtown. That is the reason for the split bid. If I were to bid on 3 nights, it would only be for the MOA area and the only reason to do that seems to be if I got some more PRICELINE cash. It seems like there is no advantage, plus Thursday March 31, 2011 is a higher rate. So the first thing will be trying to get 2 rooms/one night for Thurs March 31, 2011 using the zones of Airport/MOA, Bloomington West, and Eagan. Then try for downtown on Fri April 1 and Sat Apri 2 starting with downtown zone. I'm not sure about the Midtown and Metrodome zones they seem pretty spread out. If I can't get right downtown I might be better to just switch hotels in the Airport/MOA for nights 2-3 since you would have a shuttle to the light rail station, plus I need a pool. Hotels interested in: Airport: Hilton Airport, Marriot Airport Bloomington West: Bloomington Hilton and Sheraton Eagan: Crowne Plaza Downtown: Hyatt, Hilton, or Westin (need pool) also Grand Hotel Minneapolis has a pool but I won't get that. Any advice or hotel reviews/warnings ect.... are welcome. Thanks
