Priceline Hotel: 4* Louisville (Downtown) The Brown Hotel

[mckelveyesquire]

Can anyone help identify 2* SDF/Expo Center hotel for one night on 2/16 that includes amenities of free parking, free breakfast, business center, hi-speed internet access?

I reviewed all 2-star hotels on hotwire and all have more amenities listed than just these four.

[mckelveyesquire]

I have been actively bidding downtown Louisville for 2/16, one night, 4 star through 2.5 star, and have gone as high as $78 a night, but cannot get a positive response from any hotel. My previous times downtown I have been successful in the $40s through $60s and always ended up with the Galt house. Any suggestions on where to take my bidding?

Unfortunately, this HOTWIRE listing has not yet been ID'd/reported to the board. Unfortunately, downtown rates look unusually high for this date - what would be your desired max bid for this stay? Would you prefer to go for a 4* or the least expensive 2.5/3*? Are you only looking at the downtown area, or would other nearby zones be acceptable?

Which zones, by PRICELINE name, are these?

those two are SDF/Expo Center; and Jeffersonville

I don't see "Expo Center" or "Riverfront" mentioned within the names of any of the PRICELINE zones when searching for Louisville, KY or Jeffersonville, IN.

I see:

Brooks

Clarksville - Jeffersonville, IN

East Louisville

Hurstbourne - Louisville East

Louisville Airport Area (SDF)

Louisville Downtown

Louisville Northeast

Louisville Southwest

Shepherdsville

Exactly which of these zones are you bidding? Are you also searching by some other city to get Riverfront or Expo Center zones t appear?

Please click each of these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links before replying.

Thanks.

SDF and Clarksville-Jeffersonville are the other two zones besides downtown; thus far i have been rejected up to $86 and have bid 4/3.5/3/2.5 star; going to 2 star would bring in the Econolodge downtown and the candlewood/best western/hampton inn in clerksville-jeffersonville

Have you had another look at HOTWIRE.. they have a 3* hotel in the Expo Center-Airport SDF zone for $87/nite with:

Indoor Pool

Fitness

Pool

Restaurant

Business

Hi-Speed Internet

Blind Accessible

Deaf Accessible

Travel Accessible

Room Accessible

Bathroom Accessible

Handicapped Parking

Roll-in Shower

... which looks like it may be the Holiday Inn Hotels - Louisville Airport South, would this work for your needs?

I started low bidding more than a month ago, at $65 and bid only the downtown zone using 4*, 3.5*, 3* and 2.5* star rating incremements.

I avoided the 2* as that would have brought in the EconoLodge.
