mksmlayman Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Started bidding at $45 in 5 different zones on a 3.5*. Increased my bids by $2 each time until I got this motel at $57. I'm a little nervous--most Holiday Inns don't justify a 3.5* rating in my estimation. Total with taxes for two nights was $138.70. Used the BetterBidding PRICELINE link. Thanks to all who keep this site going. Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Thank you for sharing your win with the board. Can you please add a reply to this thread confirming the full name and address of the property you received as i'm not aware of any Holiday Inn Express (in the US at least) that are 3.5* rated by PRICELINE.Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding.Enjoy your stay.

mksmlayman Posted August 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 This is actually the Holiday Inn, not the Holiday Inn Express Hotel and Suites. I'm not sure if I made a mistake when I posted it or not, but I can't figure out how to edit my previous post.I am confused about the exact zone--The address is 2700 Pilot Knob Road, Eagan, MN 55121, and Priceline's map clearly shows it in the Eagan zone, but my confirmation from Priceline says Holiday Inn Mpls/St Paul Arpt-Mall Of America. Anyone else had this problem?Also, I think I'm right about being concerned with the star rating--the motel's website shows only queen or double beds, no kings! Link to comment
mksmlayman Posted August 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 I just found out that this hotel was previously branded as a Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza--I think it was rebranded in the fall of 2011. I'm still confused about the zone. Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Thanks for the follow-up.This property is in PRICELINE's Eagan zone and the official name of the property is "Holiday Inn Mpls/St Paul Arpt-Mall Of America"... it's just coincidence that the 'Airport-Mall of America' part of the name is very similar to the name of an adjacent PRICELINE zone. If you look on your winning bid confirmation page, under the hotel name but above the address, you should see 'Eagan' listed here as this is where the name of the PRICELINE zone is listed.Have a great trip!
