Priceline Hotel: 3* Cincinnati (Airport CVG - Florence) Doubletree Cincinnati Airport

[petrel800]

Headed up to Indy 500, but have to stop in the Dayton, OH area the Sat before. Usually, I stay in the Lexington area, but I was unable to crack the pricing for my normal hotels in the area, and wasn't willing to part with more $$$. Decided another hour in the car wouldn't be an issue, besides, we can just sleep in a little longer Sat morning. Anyhow, wound up with one not currently on the list, 3* Doubletree, hotel appears to be on the airport grounds.

2 Rooms

Bid $45, $47, won on $50/room.

Total cost $123.46 or $61.73/room.

As always, used the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links provided.

I tried both a 3.5 star and 3 star bidding strategy for Lexington, KY. I was not willing to stay in Lex S.

Started with 3.5 star, we figured why not give it a go, more of a hail mary, but worth a shot. Bid twice, once 5/15 and final time 5/17. 3 bids, Lex North, Lex East, and South Lex. Bid up to $60.

Typically we stay 3 star in the Lex N zone, this is where I figured we'd land, 3 bids, Lex North, South Lex, finally Lex E (was willing to take that chance). Tried initially on 5/15 and finally on 5/17, highest bid I offered was $54 on the 17th.

Bailed on Lexington as I saw on Hotwire, the Cincinnati Airport area looked like an area that was ripe for a deal. Used priceline to grab a room a few extra miles up the road.
