thereuare Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 Are you willing to SPLIT YOUR BID?I'm relatively sure you could find success for the last nite of your stay, and maybe for the last two nite if you bid them togethter.Let us know your thoughts.

knipper2 Posted June 17, 2005 Author Report Posted June 17, 2005 Actually I've found that very tactic might make hotwire my preferred choice this time. When I was searching HW for all 3 nights I couldn't find anything in Grand Prairie in my price range (really like to stay under $45 w/out taxes). So I searched HW for Wed-Thur only and there were a lot more choices in Grand Prairie, I'm particularly interested in the 2* with free breakfast and a pool for $37.I'm a little nervous about this because there is no history as to what hotel chain this could be, but I am okay with LaQuinta, Comfort Inn, or Microtel so I think it may be one of those. -- Any ideas??When I search for Friday night only I was back to the original HW choices so we've decided that we're okay with switching hotels for the last night, hey we're flexible that's why we use these websites.HW was my first choice anyway as I need 2 rooms for 4 adults and 2 children (so 2 beds is preferred), but I was willing to risk it on PL for the right price (kids can always bring a sleeping bag!)Thanks for the advice, anything else you have to offer will be valued. I'll post my info on the appropriate site and use the link to make the purchase!!

knipper2 Posted June 17, 2005 Author Report Posted June 17, 2005 The 2* with Breakfast and Pool in Grand Prairie showed up for dates 7/6-7/8
thereuare Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 There are a LOT of hotels in this small geographic area... my best guess(es) would be Ramada Limited, La Quinta, Best Western, Sleep Inn, Quality Inn.

knipper2 Posted June 18, 2005 Author Report Posted June 18, 2005 I decided to give PL one more try, since splitting the nights seems more inconvenient than raising my bid. Here are the results, we were hoping to get one of the 2.5* hotels that includes breakfast but overall this was a pretty good deal - website rate was $119 for same nights and the cheapest price on the web I found was $89Hilton Arlington - Dallas (Arlington-Grand Prairie)bid 2.5* - got upgraded to 3*$462 rooms, 3 nights7/6 - 7/9
thereuare Posted June 18, 2005 Report Posted June 18, 2005 Can you please let us know the amount of your previously rejected 2.5* bid... or was this your first bid on this round of bidding?

knipper2 Posted June 21, 2005 Author Report Posted June 21, 2005 I started out at $46 for a 2.5* since my previous bids got rejected all the way up to $42--got accepted first time around..
