Priceline Hotel: Failed bid for 4* in downtown Columbus or 3* in downtown or OSU

[JulieAmber]

My husband's working this week at OSU, so I thought I'd join him and try our luck at getting a nice 3 or 4* hotel... we literally put a dozen bids on this the past week without success:

1) Four star downtown $45 8/7/06... LOST

2) 4* downtown 8/8/06... LOST

3) 4* downtown 8/9/06... LOST

4) 4* downtown 8/10/06... LOST

5) 4* downtown 8/11/06... LOST

then we went back and added money and an area:

6) 3/4* downtown/OSU $50 8/8/06... LOST

7) 3/4 downtown/OSU $50 8/9/06... LOST

8) 3/4* downtown/OSU $50 8/10/06... LOST

9) 3/4* downtown/OSU $50 8/11/06... LOST

then we went back and changed our dates to two nighters for $55:

10) 3/4* downtown/OSU $55 8/8 & 8/9... LOST

11) 3/4* downtown/OSU $55 8/9 & 8/10... LOST

12) 3/4* downtown/OSU $55 8/10 & 8/11... LOST

Oh well, it really isn't a big deal. We're addicted to this site, had an opportunity to play around and learn from priceline, and we enjoyed it (for two sad people who consider "pricelining" a hobby)... oh well, we'll get our Pricelined 4* someday, hahaha! Until then, we'll enjoy our $26 2* Extended Stay in Cincinnati this weekend, haha (thereuare, I'll track down which location... I think Hunt Rd., but I'm not certain... doh! :) I used to work in Blue Ash, too, so I should be wiser!).

As silly as this seems, I bet its because of the State Fair this week!

No, not silly at all! I bet you're right. I feel silly for having grown up in Columbus and forgetting about the fair, haha! :)
