Nice to see you around the board.

Thank you for sharing your winning bid and enabling us to add this new hotel to our lists. Was this your first bid in the zone?

Hope your parents enjoy their stay.

Hi Thereuare

This board has been such a help to me, and so have you. I am happy to add any new info I can. :)

Yes, this was my first and only bid with this stay and there were no counter-offers. Bid $35 and they took it. I hesitated at first, and was going to drop the bid a few bucks, but it looks like there are no free rebid zones in Branson and I just wanted to make sure they had the room. I am curious as to what their bottom line would be.

Of course I used the Savings Barn to make the purchase. :)

Ladybug50: I should have read your post earlier . . . I just bid $35 for a 2.5* and $30 for a 2* in Branson for 4 nights in June and was rejected. So you probably didn't go over much with $35. For my Mom as well; she has the Travelodge reserved @ $50 but I thought we might do better. Will try again in a few days.

Steph58,

Thanks for reassuring me that I probably did not overbid. I thought it may be an overbid because of the low rack rates for 2* in Branson. I've bid $35 for a 3* in my local area.

My parents are very happy with their *win* location (walking distance to many attractions) and the price they paid. They are also happy with getting the HoJo.

If they're happy-I'm happy!
