Priceline Hotel: 2* Charleston (North-Airport-Coliseum) Homestead Studio Suites

[fLoreign]

I had two options: to get a place to stay downtown (and 2* is more than $65/night; believe me, I tried) to no avail. But if I stay 8 1/2 miles away, it came down to $37, in a place where the reduced price is $72.

I also got the PL bonus bucks, which are only an incentive to move on to minimum 3*. If you want them, make a stay below 3* and I suspect you will be offered it. For me, $50 gain opposed to hundreds of dollars expenses does not make sense to me now, as I still am a graduate student going to a conference.

Thanks.

It appears the downtown prices are realistically doubled in comparison with prices in neighboring regions. Moreover, the price differential between 2*,3* (and possibly even 4*) downtown seems to be little when compared to the price hike associated with changing the zone.
