I started submitting bid at 2PM on the day of stay. My offer of $35 for 2.5* at Cary and Raleigh, even to all zones brought no offer. Therefore, I downgraded to 2* at $35, I was not allowed to narrow the zone selection.

I was disappointed when Priceline informed me of ESA. I usually equate ESA to a Spartan Village, I went to school in Ann Arbor. Priceline only lists TV, Phone and clock radio as amenities. However, I was kind of pleasantly surprised becase this is an Exteded Stay Deluxe. The room with a King Bed is bigger than the comparable one at a late model Residence Inn. With a leather reclining chair and a sofa bed, it still has room to spare. Furnitures are in good shape. TV and clock radio are deluxe models. It even offers continental breakfast.

This one is too good for Spartans. I rate this place a high 2*. It 'd earn my 2.5* had it supplied shampoo and Deluxe continental breakfast.

I think if you had closed your browser, and restarted your bid entirely at the 2* level, you could have bid zone by zone that way. Just a tip for the future... each time you go "down" a star level, start an entirely new bidding session and you can pick zone by zone. Otherwise your previously selected zones will all be searched I believe. :)

Thanks for the tip. This is very valuable in a big metropolitan area.
