Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Des Moines (Merle Hay) Sheraton Four Pointes

[Nautica3]

Wanted my normal 2.5* in West Des Moines, but tried the following:

- $32/night, West Des Moines, 2.5* - Rejected

- $35/night, WDM & Airport area, 2.5* - Rejected

waited 3 days, tried again:

- $32/night, West Des Moines, 2.5* - Rejected

- $35/night, WDM & Airport area, 2.5* - Rejected

Didn't feel like dropping to the 2* Fairfield Inn for $25/night (my standard fall-back...it's ALWAYS available), so tried 2.5* in the Merle Hay (Urbandale) area for $32/night. Got it right away.

Sheraton Four Pointes. Hotel is okay--not as nice as the Country Inn & Suites in WDM, but better than others I've stayed in. The Merle Hay area is in Urbandale, IA, which is really only 10 minutes up the highway from WDM, so not a big location difference. Lots of restaurants, etc... nearby, and a mall < 1 mile South.
