Welldone Rumproast Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 Bidding Need and StrategyMy basic need for a single night before an early departure, so airport location was desirable. Better Bidding had no previous history for this area. Posters to TOBB reported several 3* acceptances in the airport zone in the ~ USD 30 range. I noted that of the two 3* properties noted, the Adams Mark had high-speed access while the Radisson did not. The 2.5* category included a Courtyard by Marriott but the last acceptance was over a year ago, so I decided to try for the 3*.The best Adams Mark website rate was USD 129I noted two available free rebid zones for 3* (Indy South and Speedway).Bid ProgressI approached the entrance tothe Savings Barn. Although summer harvest was in full swing, I was waved inside when I told them I knew thereuare :) --- Initial Bid in the INDIANAPOLIS AIRPORT ZoneFirst Bid: USD 27 - Accepted!Accepted Bid DetailsAdams Mark Indianapolis Airport (IND)2544 Executive Drive Indianapolis, Indiana 46241 317-248-2481Check-In Date: Mon, Sep 8, 2003 Check-In Time: After 04:00 PM Check-Out Date: Tue, Sep 9, 2003 Check-Out Time: 12:00 PM Your Offer Price: $27.00 Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 1 Subtotal: $27.00 Taxes and Service Fees: $8.54 Total Charges: $35.54 The AM Website notes a local tax rate of 12 percentHGI website lists a tax rate of 11.00 percent Link to comment

Welldone Rumproast Posted August 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 Hi bturner13 - AM is the GDS code for Adams Mark HotelsSorry about that HGI reference - I used the old "cut and paste" technique to format my posting and forgot to delete that last line from the previous message - the 12 percent rate is the correct tax rate.
