Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Louisville (Downtown) Springhill Suites

[louisvillebound]

I needed a hotel for an upcomming trip to Louisville (27/08/11-04/09/11) but was having trouble with the first weekend (still am) as both the Kentucky State fair is on and the Ironman.

So, I bid for the Monday to the Saturday. I usually get this hotel for $41 a night but this didn't work. I rebid the next day and got it for $45.

It's an excellent hotel, close to good restaurants, with a small pool and exercise room (shared with the connected Fairfield Suites) and a large breakfast room with a good selection of hot and cold items.

The rooms have a funky mod/European style with a split bathroom-double shower and sink on one side and a small sink and toilet on the other. A desk separates the "bedroom" from the "living room" and rooms have a microwave and a bar fridge.

I'm really pleased- now if I could only find something for the 27th and 28th!

Cheers,

I'm guessing it's the Fern Valley but I was wondering if it could be anything else (I don't want to stay at Fern Valley because I won't have a car)

Cheers,

Please start by following-up your previous Hotwire Chicago thread with whatever you ended up doing for that stay.

I usually get this hotel for $41 a night but this didn't work.

Assuming you've won hotels in this area thru PRICELINE or HOTWIRE in the last 5 years it would be appreciated if you began to share your wins with the board so that the information can help other users.

I rebid the next day and got it for $45... now if I could only find something for the 27th and 28th!

We've edited the topic title of this thread to reflect your 5 nite purchase, if you'd like help with the remaining nites of your stay please follow-up the previous thread linked above and click this PRICELINE link, then start a NEW TOPIC for 8/27-8/29.

It would be appreciated if you used the requested PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your future bidding, searches, and travel purchases.

Thanks. I had responded to the Chicago thread but have done so again.

I will make sure to list wins and and use the links in the future.

Since it is probably the Fern Valley, I just went and booked directly with the Holiday Inn. I couldn't take the chance of being that far out.

Thanks for your help!
