I do use the link at the upper right. It does

make the bidding go a little easier!

Often times with HOTWIRE I get 2-3 emails a day

and I have to admit I just go from there -- but I will

change that.

This 3* property has not yet been reported to the board, but with only a 60% HOTWIRE user recommendation and 3.0 and 3.5 across the board for most criteria HOTWIRE asks users for feedback on, i'd recommend looking elsewhere. Not sure how tight your budget is but the 3.5* for $75/nite is 90% recommended and has most 4.0's across the board on the individual criteria. (i'm guessing this is the Sheraton Suites with Suite, Shuttle, Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Hi-Speed Internet, Smoke Free)

If your budget is tight and you're really interested in the 3*, and since this an extended stay, you could see if this same property is offered for the first (or last) nite of your stay and then again for the balance. If so, you could purchase the solo nite in order to "look behind the curtain". If you're happy with the results purchase the remaining nites, if not, make alternate plans for the balance of your stay.

I've been hoping to stay about $60 per nite. I agree with you that the

*3.5 star looks like the Sheraton Suites. I've stayed there 2-3 times

and enjoyed my stay. I think it has done some remodeling since I was

there last. In line with your directions I will need 1 room for 3/6-8/11 but

was going to take care of 3/8-15 first since 3/6-8are a little more flexible.

I will probably take a shot with Priceline and check back. Thanks

I started bidding for a *4 in either Tampa Airport South-Westshore or Tampa

Airport West(Rocky Point Area). Did not have any luck from $48-60 with free

rebids jumping $2 each bid. Did the same for *3.5 in Westshore area. At $52

got a counter offer of $67. Kept bidding and got the Sheraton Suites at $60

for 3/8-15 two rooms. I'm very happy with that and anxious to see how the

rooms were redone. Used the PRICELINE link.

Thanks for your help. Will still need to book 3/16-18 but will probably wait a while.
