Priceline Hotel: 3* Louisville (North) Holiday Inn Clarksville

[cruwudu]

Started bidding at $42. Rejected. Bid in increments up to $51 (using re-bid zones, there are several for Louisville). No bid went through. I'll have to try again tomorrow. Disappointed because it seems several people have gotten the Courtyard for $50 and $51. Any advice?

The Courytard is sold-out for this nite so landing this property doesn't seem very likely. As well, rates look fairly high... do you know if something is happening in the area on this nite?

Hmmm...I have no idea. I'm going for a very small event. Nothing that would fill up a hotel or even a floor of one. This always happens to me. I tried going to New Orleans and hoped to book a nice hotel downtown for $40-50 (in line with other recent wins) and there were a few conferences in town and everything was booked solid downtown. Had to stay down by the airport.

Where are others attending your 'small event' staying and at what price?

Could you potentially stay in the Hurstbourne or Airport areas?

Went up to $61 tonight using the rebid zones. No bites. It appears that the Courtyard is the only 3* in the Downtown zone so I branched out to the airport and used one or two rebid zones before it called me out on the duplicate bids. Went up to $50 with the airport zone and no luck. Any advice? I think Hurstbourne is a little far but I need to check exactly. I thought the airport was far but it was only 5 miles away from where I am going.

I don't know anyone else who is attending.

Well I checked out a few other hotels in the Louisville North and they were close to where I need to go so I added Louisville North and bid $60 and won the Holiday Inn Clarksville. It doesn't look like a true 3* property. People seem to complain about the age of the property but I'll take it. I probably overbid but I didn't have any rebid zones left and my patience was starting to wear a little thin so I'm happy I got it rather than going through this for another night.

Congrats on your success. :)

I found out what the events were in town coinciding with my visit: the International Lawn and Garden Expo and a big Veterans of Foreign Wars meeting. Every hotel in the city was sold out apparently. I was lucky to get anything on Priceline.
