brentnashville Posted September 6, 2003 Report Posted September 6, 2003 $23 for 1 room and 1 night + $8.49 taxes / fees = $31.49Baymont Inn, Columbia, SC East1538 Horseshoe DriveColumbia, SC 29223Hotel's websiteI was looking for the cheapest hotel I could find for a one night stop. Hotwire had a 2* hotel for $30 and I wanted to use priceline to see if I could beat that.I bid up to $30 using free rebids for the zones Columbia Airport, i26 west & Irmo, Northeast and Northwest. I did not bid in Central Columbia. I started at 3*, then 2 1/2*, then 2*. Then I started bidding on 1* at $22 and was rejected, then $23 and was accepted.

brentnashville Posted October 4, 2003 Author Report Posted October 4, 2003 While I was checking in to this Baymont hotel, the front desk clerk asked if I used Hotwire to make this purchase. Obviously, that tells me that, although I used pricline to book this room, I could have used hotwire also. This hotel only had two amenities which hotwire would mention, free breakfast and an outdoor pool.I went to hotwire's website, looked up Columbia, SC, then the Columbia Northeast zone. two hotels were listed and one looks like a match. There was a 2* hotel listed with breakfast and pool for $29 a night.Thought I'd pass this along...
