Priceline Hotel: 3* Atlanta (Midtown) Residence Inn Atlanta Midtown/17Th Street

[JASCAR]

Was originally looking towards getting a 4* or 3 1/2* in Midtown (possibly Downtown zone) however due to parking prices was being conservative with bidding and started around $60 going as high as $76. Had a few days so was taking it slow and we had noticed some 4* in downtown for around $66.

Our event is at Aliance Theartre midtown (Stephen King & John Mellencamps play "Ghost Brothers of Darkland County")so prefered Midtown. We had considered spending time out towards Six Flags while in town so was also bidding out there for day before or after performance in town.

So when bidding for 4* Midtown I used Austell-Six Flags as extra bid zone.

When we bid as high as $76 in Midtown it gave us a counteroffer of $94.. and when we bid the highest level in Austell of 3* at $50 it gave us a counteroffer of $73...passed on that too.

We had second thought later and decided to bid up to $55 in Austell;Six flags and added MIDTOWN *3 for a rebid figuring there was no way would get a 3* Midtown for that price. THAT IS WHEN WE WON THE Residence Inn Atlanta Midtown/17Th Street which is right next door to our venue. We had only bid for the 4th however was given the option to add nights. This will work out great. Very reasonable price at Hotel with moderate parking fees(all have them)and even get Comp breakfast & internet..

Betterbidding gives so many options for research. We use whenever we can and always use the PRICELINE links in our bidding. Thanks

Residence Inn Middtown/ 17th St is just up and acrross the street from the performance we came to Atlanta for.

Our event is at Aliance Theartre midtown (Stephen King & John Mellencamps play "Ghost Brothers of Darkland County")so prefered Midtown.

THIS HOTEL IS GREAT..... It is not a 4* with all the restaurants and lounges inside however it has turned out to be perfect for our purpose, Lot's of places within walking distance and close to Marta.

The staff has been so naturally friendly and helpful. Complimentary breakfast (which did not shut down the moment it was scheduled to). A reception in the evening with food, wine & beer greeted us when we arrived and was open to at least 7:30pm. Free wireless internet... and even though there is a parking fee, it seems like less than most and convenient in/out service and access to vehicle.

All the staff seems so friendly introducing themselves and explaining all options for breakfast and such. I am impressed and unlike some hotels the fact that I came here through a low bid on priceline was treated with first class service. HAD TO COMMENT as VERY IMPRESSED.
