purplelotus Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Just won this today. Total cost $51.78. Priceline showed rating of 8.0 with amenities of free breakfast, free internet, pool, business center and fitness center. Similar hotel (so probably same one)on Priceline Express for $47 ($61 with tax and fees) so I saved about $9 off that. Cheapest rate (AAA) on Holiday Inn website was $109. Trip Advisor rating is 4/5. Bid for 3-star up to $43. No luck. Bid for this first at $37 -- unsuccessful and no counter -- then added zone and increased bid to $39 and got it. Am very pleased with price. Wasn't afraid to bid at this level given rating of 8 or above.I think this is a new hotel -- hardly any data for Texarkana(either Texas or Arkansas).Used BB PRICELINE link. Link to comment

purplelotus Posted June 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Hotel itself is nice -- new, attractive decor, indoor pool, standard Holiday Inn Express breakfast. Did have a major problem here though. We were in room, and someone else was assigned our room and started entering. Fortunately, we had security latch on door. Then our keys didn't work. Took a long time to sort out. Clerk on duty was new and didn't handle it well. We left early next day, and manager wasn't there so I called from another hotel later that day. She was exceedingly apologetic although they can't figure out what happened with their computer system (a bit scary). She gave me some priority club points as compensation since I had bought it on Priceline. Link to comment
