Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Des Moines (Merle Hay) Holiday Inn

[Nautica3]

Was starting to get worried on this. Kept getting rejections, and then kept getting "Duplicate Request" errors even when I'd waited 72 hours (after exhausting my free rebids). Ended up at a hotel I haven't stayed at before. Will post review shortly.

Before getting accepted, got the following rejections:

2.5*, WDM, $32

2.5*, WDM & DSM Airport, $35

2*, WDM, $23

2*, WDM & Urbandale/Merle Hay area, $25

3* WDM, $40

Got this one on the following submission:

2.5*, WDM & Urbandale/Merle Hay, $36

Guess maybe I need to either raise my offers or start with more lead time. Luckily, my travelling to Des Moines will be over in a month or so!

Thanks for the new data point and bidding history (it really does help future bidders!)

Will you no longer be traveling in the future, or just no longer to Des Moines?

Uncertain. The gig in Des Moines is up, and I'm looking for another job. Preferably I'd like to find something local to me in St. Louis, but the job market there still isn't the best, so I'm still looking at possible travel assignments as well.

Have possibilities in Denver and KC, but nothing is definite yet. If I have to travel, I just really want to stay in the Midwest and be able to fly to my contract cities, as opposed to driving 6 hours each way like I've been doing for Des Moines.
