candzpac Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Bid 28$ for Winston-Salem West 2.5*...Rejected...added Winston-Salem 2.5* bid 33$ rejected...I did not add W-S North. I do not want to venture that far from I-40. Are my bids too low? Need strategy for this area after waiting out my 72hrs. I am bidding for July 8 one night stay. Thanks candzpac Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Welcome to BetterBidding!We don't see much bidding in this area, but if you're bids are being rejected than they are obviously too low at this point.

candzpac Posted June 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 between $60 and $70 at Holiday Inn, Sleep Inn and La Quinta Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Based upon the above i do think your bids are too low... bump this thread just before your 72 hour lock-out is up and we'll look at current prices and suggest a strategy.

candzpac Posted June 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 I am using W-S as a halfway point. (traveling with 2 children). I looked at TOBB site and they report a La Quinta and ExStayAm as a 2* in WS West. La Quinta seems to be active with PL in other area NC markets. Do you think I should drop down to 2* and bid around $30-$35. The best rates I could get in the area was $57 at a Holiday Inn full service. La Quinta wanted $67. The La Quinta looks nicer than the Holiday Inn and they have a comp. bfst. Trying to save as much as possible. I dont know if $20 savings is worth the PL gamble (smoking room, single bed)?candzpac Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 You have to weight the savings vs. the possible hotels you might get.It may be worth the risk to some, but not to others. When you start to bid the 2* range more 'extended stay' type properties come into play and, in my opinion/experience, is where may of the "only one bed available" issues often come into play.

lowballer Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 In March of 2004 I hit the La Quinta you speak of for something like $33. I needed a nonsmoking room with two beds and was accommodated without a problem. The property was a solid 2* and the breakfast was nice to have. YMMV.I've also stayed just west of Greensboro (whatever zone that is -- there are a bunch of shopping centers and things in the area and it was closer to G'boro than W-S) through PL once. Don't remember the details as well but the place was right off I-40 and OK. Link to comment
candzpac Posted June 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Bid of $36 on a W-S west 2* not accepted. PL did counter with a $9 raise...thought about splitting the difference at 39$ but didnt...after PL tax and fees this would have put me over $50. On my own was quoted $57 at a Comfort Suites using a NC state empl. rate. Thanks for the help and I cant wait to PL again. Link to comment
