Less than excited, it is what it is. Even less excited when on their own website it says rooms starting at 39. Gee, that would make this a real bargain! However when I put in the exact dates, the lowest I can seem to get is $42. That would be a whole 12% discount. (Before you take into account the priceline fees)

Unless this place turns out to be unlike other Microtels and amazing, the lesson here is to not bid on 2 star properties in the NW and not to select All Areas. Yes, I was hoping for the LaQuinta. Oh well. At least this will save others from similar "wins". A shame for the LaQuintas who seem to be really improving their properties.

I'll be investigating all low priced options in the area over this next year as I will need to be in the Ft Leonard Wood area. I'll post my attempts in that area in a seperate post.

Other Springfield attempts.

3* failed at 41 in all areas

2.5* failed at 41 in all areas

Sorry to hear that you didn't receive the hotel you were hoping for and that you're underwhelmed with the results, but hopefully you'll be pleasantly surprised with this property and it will suit your needs.

Thank you for using the PRICELINE links on the board and sharing your win, helping us add this property to the Priceline Hotel List.

Enjoy your stay.

The Ft Leonard Wood/Saint Robert area is 80 miles from Springfield. The Rolla area is 110 miles from Springfield. Just mentioning since anyone looking for Rolla posts will be unlikely to open a Springfield post.
