Priceline Hotel: 3* Minneapolis (Northwest) Crowne Plaza North

[shammes53]

I am attending a one day conference in Minneapolis at the Four Points Sheraton (Univ-Metrodome) on 9/22 and decided to drive up and stay nearby the night before. My first choice (of course) was to try and get a room at the Four Points, which I've stayed at before (and always got a good rate) Started bidding at $30 in the Univ-Metrodome zone (rejected) and added the free re-bid zones (3) one by one up to $35 all rejected. I then checked the Starwood website and rooms for the Four Points were available, but at a rate of $189! So either there wasn't any Priceline rates available or those rates were much higher than I would care to pay.

I then decided to start over and go with the Mpls NW zone (less than ten miles from the Four Points) and try to get the Crowne Plaza, which I've also stayed at before. Bid as before this time starting at $32 and bidding in $2 increments I had the Crowne Plaza for $36 on the second free rebid. Direct rate from ICH was $109 prepaid, so not a bad deal at 66% off! I just can't sleep in as late now, but that's okay. :)

Glad it worked out ok for you... if you can't get your first choice, second choice is always good too!

Thanks for the latest report on this property.

Enjoy your stay and the conference.
