Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Raleigh-Durham (Research Triangle Park) Radisson Research Triangle Park

[alanjwax]

It took two days of bidding. Started bidding for 3.5* at $35, figuring it's quiet, summer and almost a weekend. No luck. Rebid at $35 for 3*. No go. On second day of bidding, started at $40 for 3.5*. Rejected. Rebid $45 with RDU as well as RTP. A winner. Would've preferred the Embassy Suites at Briar Creek, but this will do for the price, though I'll have to hit McDonald's a mile away for a cheap breakfast.

Turns out there's a good reason why my bid was accepted. There is heavy construction taking place on at least three of the six wings of this hotel. Had my room changed right after checking in. There was a compressor outside my window and heavy machinery all around the building. Buzz saws and hammering start shortly after 8 am.

Hope this construction wasn't too much of a disturbance after the room change.

Thanks for the follow-up.
