bmw745ion19s Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 ok this hotel was for my brother for the dates of 2/17/2011-2/18/2011.This was for an overnight layover stay going from Atlanta to Houston so something clean and safe were the main goals with an additional complication that he was towing a very large trailer so they had to be able to accommodate that.Starting with Hotwire (that I later booked) the best deal by far were the Casino Hotels in the area. They had the IP Hotel for $59 ($70 all in I believe).I then checked the Priceline lists and saw that it and another Casino hotel were the only 4* hotels in town. The 3 other zones had no 4* as confirmed by priceline.I started bidding at $35 and got the probably impossible message and then was rejected, and the same at $40 plus I was booted off. I re logged in and tried $45 and $50 both were failed so I sad screw it and did it with Hotwire.I expected it would have taken more then $9 off the Hotwire rate but being a Casino property I imagine their pricing structure is somewhat different.

They had the IP Hotel for $59 ($70 all in I believe). The amenities matched the list on here.I then checked the Priceline and tried there up to $50 but failed there.This hotel was going for $71 base rate on Kayak I believe so the savings was decent (Anything is nice once youre at a good price point!). The only hotel that was pretty expensive was the Beau Rivage at $299 but its by far the nicest hotel in the area I believe.Although he said the other guests there were a little out there the hotel itself was nice and staff was helpful. The lot for large vehicles is gravel but well lit and has security cameras and is part of the hotel across a small side street. He said it was a good stopover hotel and would stay again.

bmw745ion19s Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Sorry to take so long to write back Aaron, been really busy! the amenities were casino, resteraunt, pool, fitness, and the spa. I guess oceanfront is gone, I believe they are on the intercoastal anyways. Link to comment
