mcgervey Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 I bid on 6-21-06...My first bid was for 3* only, $30, Pgh airport. Was trying for the Holiday Inn... No dice.Added Pittsburgh Downtown area, (knowing I wasn't going to get a downtown Pgh hotel for this bid, but more than happy to stay downtown if a hotel took $35!) and I added 2.5 stars and upped bid to $35. Success.This is the fourth or fifth time I've gotten the PIT airport courtyard for exactly a $35 bid. I'm pleased, as it's a nice property. It's not quite as nice as Sheraton Four Points (mostly because 4 Points now has sweet pillow top beds) or the Pittsburgh Holiday Inn, because those hotels have recently had million dollar renovations. But I like it better in some ways because you can park a lot closer to your room, and it still has a nice small indoor pool, gym, and hot tub... It really should be the equivalent of a 3*, but probably isn't because the restaurant is breakfast bar only. So to sum it up, 3 star bid, $30, rejected.2.5 and 3 stars checked, $35 bid, successful.
