Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Toledo (Maumee) Baymont Inn Toledo Maumee

[drivenbyhonda]

Hey all. Long time user of the board but first time registering and posting. Having a hard time with this one. Reading through some older posts, it seems as though the 3* Hotel in the Maumee area is the Residence Inn By Marriott which would be great and is the ideal place for me to book. Reading through old posts (2010 dated mind you) I see wins for $56 and $57.

I identified my 2 re-bid zones and have the strategy of Maumee, Maumee+North Toledo, Maumee+N Toledo+Oregon PBurg E Millbury. I have bid thus far 50, 54, 57, 60, 63, 67 on 3 start only for this coming Saturday 5/5 through 5/6 and have had ZERO luck so far.

Any advice? Wisdom? Suggestions? I am running out of ideas and time and considering using Hotwire instead but I'm not seeing residence on hotwire.

Thanks in advance!!

Welcome (officially) to BetterBidding!

We're glad to hear the board has been helpful to you in the past, but it's disappointing that this is your first post. It would be appreciated if you started to share your wins with the board so that the information can help others, just as you have been helped by those who have posted before you. ;)

The Residence Inn is sold-out for the Saturday nite of your stay so the chances of you receiving this property are very slim.

Using the BiddingHelper.com what is the best rate you're able to find at an acceptable hotel thru conventional booking channels and what is your maximum bid for this stay?

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

It would still be helpful if you shared your wins... even if the hotel you receive is already reported to the board. If there was no point in sharing a win if the HOTWIRE property already appeared on the board, for any given hotel there might be one post from nearly 10 years ago, which doesn't give other users a sense of how frequently certain hotels are won vs. others in the zone. As well, your specific win for a given date may help another user who is looking for a hotel for the same exact dates. There are numerous other examples of how more data can be helpful, but the bottomline is that more information can't hurt... but it certainly could help.

Hope the HOTWIRE hotel you bought works for your family's needs and that everyone is happy with the outcome.

Thank you for using the HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your purchase and for sharing your win, helping us add this property to the Hotwire Hotel List.

Enjoy your stay.
