Priceline Hotel: 2* Twin Falls Red Lion --Entertainmnt Card

[LoneStar]

If you travel the smaller cities out West, you know to look for town with Red Lions, as they tend to participate in priceline with good rates. They also tend to be about the best lodging choice in such places.

The Twin Falls Red Lion does participate in Priceline, but they seem to be stingy in loading inventory. Using Hotwire, I looked at a bunch of dates and only a few of them seemed to have the Red Lion below $75. The date I needed next month wasn't one of them. So I pulled up entertainment.com to see what Twin Falls hotels might be participating. Sure enough, the Red Lion is. I emailed the hotel, and they offered me $65.96 for 2 queens. A very good rate, since all of their other discounted rates are above $100 (and it's hard to stay ANYWHERE in Twin Falls for less than $65). I then bid up to $50 on priceline with no success.

I guess I'll look again at hotwire/priceline shortly before my stay, but right now it's a rare victory for the Entertainment Card!
