mbstone Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Down here at the low, motel end of PL bidding the PL surcharge starts to eat away at any savings over a motel's track rate. In this case a successful PL bid of $35 resulted in an all in price of $47, which is about $5 less than the all-in price of a Motel 6 in this area.I am old enough to remember when Howard Johnson's owned 100% of the chain restaurant and highway-rest-stop market in the U.S. Maybe there is a business-school case that says how they ran their restaurant business into the ground. Nevertheless, HoJo still exists as an operator, more probably a franchisor, of motels. This 2* property is about the same as a Motel 6, outdoor corridors, 2 stories, except it has bathtubs, microwaves, fridges, and in-room irons/ironing boards. This property is also supposed to have an outdoor pool and free non-protein breakfast, all untried. Everything and everyone on the TV was purple. No CC requested at check-in. 11 AM checkout. Free internet. Link to comment
