Bid $55, rejected but got $70 counteroffer. Added zone (free rebid) and bid again @$58. Accepted.

Nicely done! Good job rejecting the counter-offer and getting it for even less.

Thanks for yet another hotel to add to our lists.

Enjoy your stay.

Please post a review upon your return. The place is locally kind of famous -- or infamous -- depending on your view.

Update:

1. Hotel is acceptable mid-range. Tired, but servicable. Exterior in poor shape, but rooms (at least mine) clean and comfortable and in good repair. Decent amenities. A good value for the price I paid.

2. Saw the hotel copy of bill and that PL paid $55 for the room, meaning that I was rejected on an "even money" bid. Apparantly, the PL surcharge is not enough.

Thanks. Sounds like a good place for those who want to enjoy a cheap Big Island vacation.

We don't get many of those folks here (everyone seems quite willing to pay hundreds to stay at the resorts), but it is a viable alternative.
