msolberg Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Have been trying unsuccessfully for 3 rooms in Flint, MI for one night - 2/27/09.Started bid at $48.00 for a 3* - bid was rejected. Added 2.5* bid was rejected.24 hours later, bid 49.00 for a 3* - bid was rejected. Added 2.5* bid was rejected.Today, bid 50.00 for a 3* - bid was rejected. Added 2.5* bid was rejected.Don't really want to bid much more than $50.00 - hoping time will open up some possibilities. :) Link to comment
AaronJB Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 There is a 2* for $39 available on HOTWIRE.com.Hopefully more inventory will free up in the next couple of weeks. I wouldn't go too high though, as there are potential 2.5/3*'s for not too far above $50 (the Holiday Inn Express - $67)On a related note, there is actually a 2* Sleep Inn on Orbitz for $59 - in the description, the hotel calls itself an "architectural masterpiece", which is one of the funnier things I've read lately. :) Link to comment
msolberg Posted January 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Thank you so much for the advice. Any idea what the two star is? Architectural masterpiece?? LOL - that is funny - I have to go check that out right now. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Unfortunately, unsure of what the 2* is, as since there's no vacation package availability for Flint, that part of HOTWIRE's no help to find a potential match. Link to comment
msolberg Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Finally! Holiday Inn Flint 2/27/09 - one night, 3 rooms.Bid $55.00 on a 3* in Flint - offer was rejected.
