fracmeister Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 You are lucky indeed. I am bidding for 4/20-23 (BYU graduation) and started with 4* downton and added:CottonwoodDowntown And University ParkSalt Lake City Airport (SLC)Salt Lake NorthSouth Salt LakeValley Areaand got up to 85.00 and rejected. Any ideas?? Link to comment
lindxay Posted March 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Hmn, that is a downer. I suppose you sould try splitting your bid-- bidding for 4/20-4/22 and 4/23 seperately... you run the risk of staying in two different hotels that way, though. :/Here's an idea, though: have you heard of Entertainment.com? If you sign up for an online subscription ($4/mo) you can get coupons for 50% the rack rate at many hotels-- in SLC the options include the Hilton, the Sheraton, Hotel Monaco, and the Crystal Inn. That might be worth a try.Good luck! Link to comment
