Priceline Hotel: 2* Raleigh-Durham (Research Triangle Park) Extended Stay America - Durham - Rtp - Miami Blvd - North

[ZaphodBeeblebrox]

Initial bid of $27. Got the "try again for just $5 more ($32)". Declined that because I knew I could get the room for $34 by the no-bid 'blind' Priceline option.

Added Arena area (which _might_ have a 2-star, but if so, is priced much higher), and bid again at $28.

Total cost is $40.28 with taxes and the like.

I've stayed at both the ESA Miami North and the ESA Miami South. Bidding in RTP for a 2-star, you could get either. They're about 1/2 mile away from each other, just on opposite sides of I-40.

I'd be tempted to rate them closer to a 2.5 star - certainly better than the ESA RDU just a couple miles away. For one, they have interior corridors, which is a big safety issue for me.
