KStone Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 This is my first post and my second time using Priceline.I didn't use the savingsbarn affiliate link (sorry, I didn't know about it until recently) but I will next time becuase this website has been so helpful!I needed a couple of rooms to accomodate three adults for one night near Six Flags St. Louis.From experience I knew the hotels near the park would be poorly kept and overpriced. Although the Holiday Inn Eureka has good ratings, it is way WAY overpriced. So I started looking for a hotel closer to St. Louis suburbs.I started the bidding at $35 on a 3 star in the Fenton-Kirkwood area of St. Louis. I knew it wouldn't be accepted and, it wasn't. The next day I tried the 3 star again at $55 with no luck. So I downgraded to 2 stars and reduced the bid to $45 and it was accepted immediately.Fairfield Inn St Louis Fenton 1680 Fenton Business Park CrtFenton, Missouri 63026Checkin 6/14Checkout 6/15Your Offer Price: $45.00Number of Rooms: 2Number of Nights: 1Subtotal: $90.00Taxes & Service Fees: $21.58Total Charges*: $111.58The rack rate for this hotel is $89/nt and has fairly good customer reviews, so I feel I got a good deal. The total cost is $30 cheaper than the rack rate on a two room suite in the area, which was another option for three adults, but those sofa beds can be a killer.
