Blackmagic Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Your Offer Price: $44.00 Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 1 Subtotal: $44.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $12.61 Total Charges: $56.61 I was hoping for Hilton but the Bloomington Sheraton accepted my offer. This hotel is listed in the Minneapolis-St Paul (Southwest) area on your hotel list - it is located in Bloomington, but now they promote it as follows:Airport - Mall Of America Vicinity7800 Normandale Road Bloomington, Minnesota 55439 952-835-7800and I got it in the MSP - Mall of America zone. Based on the Priceline map, I think it correctly falls in the MSP - MoA zone (Hwy 100 and 78th), not Minneapolis-St Paul (Southwest), so you may want to update your hotel list.At any rate, we're happy! Thanks for a great site ... buy the way, we saved using the SavingsBarn.com ... Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Thank you for the update on this hotel's zone as well as for placing your bid thru the links at SavingsBarn.comThere must have been a minor change to this zone's boundaries as this property has been reported a few times in the Southwest zone, but it is clearly now in the Airport-Mall of America zone.Was this your first bid in the zone?Thanks again, and enjoy your stay!

Blackmagic Posted April 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Yes, my first bid was at $44. I was expecting the Hilton at $45 so I just started at $44.I guess we could have started at $40 or something and maybe saved a couple of bucks, but we're happy.Thanks! Link to comment
shammes53 Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 Yes, it does look like the Southwest zone has shifted to the west some, now the MSP-MOA zone has 4-star selection shown (most likely Hotel Sofitel) Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 ... and there's no more 4* bidding in the Southwest zone!Thanks for pointing out the (likely) Sofitel change.
