Peter Piper Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 While on the road, was trying for 3 star level at 9pm for same-day. Tried bids of $50 on 3-stars first in Hagerstown, then in Frederick area. Not accepted. Tried $45 for 2.5 stars. Not accepted. I suspect the late hour of the day may be the reason that bids were not being accepted. The 3 and 2.5 star places were probably sold out by that time since it was a Friday night in July. Finally went to 2-star and kept $45 to be sure of getting something. Bid was accepted for Travelodge in Frederick at $45 ($57 with taxes and fees). We were thinking 'Travelodge'?? Is that a 2-star? We were a bit apprehensive but by the time we got there we just hoping for a bed in a relatively clean place. It turned out to be okay. It is an older place that has been recently renovated. It is in a bit of an odd area right behind a Costco. There is complimentary breakfast (hot & cold cereal, toast, fruit, danish, coffee, tea). Btw. the regular price on this according to their website was $85 plus tax for two Queens, $75 plus tax for two double beds. Seems kind of high if you ask me. I am not quite sure if I'd rate it a two-star but it was okay for a night's sleep. I'll try to write up a full review. Link to comment
