Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Effingham Country Inn Suites by Carlson Effingham

[ansub1976]

We had to book a last minute room in Effingham, IL. Since we were travelling with our 13 month old, we were looking for a hotel that offered a crib, Fridge and microwave to store and heat up his food.

I used the Express Deals feature for the first time (Is this PRICELINE trying to encroach upon HOTWIRE's territory?) and got the hotel that we wanted.

Country Inn Suites By Carlson Effingham

Effingham

1200 North Raney, Effingham, IL 62401

This Hotel has: Free Internet | Indoor or Outdoor Pool | Free Parking | Business Center | Fitness Center

Room Subtotal: $67.00

Taxes & Fees: $15.36

Total Charged to Card: $82.36

The price was almost $40 cheaper than the lowest rate on Country Inn's website. So I was quite satisfied with the price, though I did wonder if I could've saved more bidding rather than go for the Express deal.

It was pretty easy to figure out which hotel this was based on the amenities, price and ratings, since there weren't many hotels in this small city. I used the PRICELINE links from the betterbidding website.
