jullian Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Rooms were very scarce for this particular night (6/26/07)...maybe because of the Women's Golf US Open in Pinehurst this week perhaps?At any rate, I began bidding a few weeks in advance and started with SavingsBarn.com:$40 with RDU Airport; unsuccessful$45 with RDU Airport and RTP; unsuccessfulwaited 2 days and rebid:$50 with RDU Airport; unsuccessful$55 with RDU Airport and RTP; unsuccessfulwaited 2 days and rebid:$60 with RDU Airport; unsuccessful$65 with RDU Airport and RTP; unsuccessfulwaited 2 days and rebid:$70 with RDU Airport; unsuccessful but received an offer to raise my bid $22 and the offer would likely be accepted. I declined the offer and rebid immediately by adding RTP$75 with RDU Airport and RTP; SUCCESSFUL!The hotel's lowest discounted rate for this night is $134 + tax, so this was almost a 50% savings on a scarce hotel. Most other airport chain hotels have been SOLD OUT for at least a couple weeks.I'm thrilled with the hotel's location of .5 miles from the RDU airport as well as it's free airport shuttle and hot breakfast.
