thundersnow9 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Posted February 5, 2013 After a landing a couple of successful Name Your Own Price deals, I decided to try a PRICELINE EXPRESS Deal for my upcoming trip to Sioux Falls. Since the PLAYOFFS 10% off promotion ended today, I rushed into purchasing the 2.5-star Express Deal. I knew that I was making a slightly risky assumption in expecting to land one of the nicer hotels very close to the Empire Mall, as BetterBidding's data is sparse for Sioux Falls.I'm not thrilled with the Baymont's location on the west side of I-29, also with other sites listing it as a 2-star, I can't help but feel disappointed. In retrospect, I wish I had just waited until tomorrow to try bidding again. But on the bright side, the hotel has generally good reviews on Tripadvisor. Oh, and and I used BetterBidding's PRICELINE link!Anyway I hope this review helps anyone wanting to bid on hotels in Sioux Falls. If I hadn't needed space for 3 people on this trip, I would have definitely gone after the 3-star hotels btw, it seems to me like those are where Priceline works the best.

thundersnow9 Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Posted February 5, 2013 Yes, they were: Free Breakfast, Free Internet, Indoor or Outdoor Pool, Pets Allowed, Business Center, and Fitness Center.And I will be sure to post an update with how the stay goes. I often stay at Super 8's, so I'm certainly expecting this to be a bit of a step up from that!

thundersnow9 Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Posted March 8, 2013 Just wanted to let you guys know how the stay went. I thought that the Baymont was absolutely up to 2.5 star quality. I had a pleasant stay there. The hotel was very crowded on the weekend, and as a result housekeeping did not come every day. That's my only complaint.
