WillTravel Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 I am staying an extra night in Minneapolis, and I'm currently at the Crowne Plaza Northstar (previously booked below), which I had booked on a $34+10bonus rate. BTW, the Crowne Plaza Northstar is a fine hotel, and I will write a review later.I used the PRICELINE link at the top of this page, and tried to extend my stay another night. They offered me a room for $101, so I gave up on that.I tried bidding for a 3* downtown for $44, but got a counteroffer for $54. I rebid using another zone with only lower-starred hotels, and won the Millennium Minneapolis at $45, so I was upgraded to a 3.5*. One nice thing is that the Millennium has a pool, even though it's a small hassle to change hotels. Link to comment

Bob24 Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 The Millennium is a dump. I won it for $41 a few months ago and calling it 3.5 stars is overrating it by about 2 stars. DEMAND a renovated room. The others, like the one I stayed in, are worthless. Link to comment

WillTravel Posted August 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 When I was checking in, I asked about a club room upgrade. None were available, but the clerk offered me a package of Internet + breakfast for $20. Considering that Internet is $9.95/night, I thought it was a reasonable deal, and went for it. I got a renovated room which was very nice.The most important thing to me, though, was the air conditioning, and that was perfect. Link to comment
