drjbo3 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 2 1/2 * Chapel HillCourtyard Chapel Hill100 Marriott Way Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27517 USA Hair dryer, iron/ironing board, complimentary newspaper, cable TV, coffee maker/tea service,poolI decided to take the plunge and use Priceline (used the SavingsBarn.com PRICELINE link) for the first time. Hotwire did not appear to be listing my desired location (Homewood Suites), and decided to try getting it on Priceline instead, after two of my classmates successfully bid and got the Homewood. I initially bid $55 for a 3* since that is what Hotwire rates the Homewood. After an initial rejection I included the 2 1/2* as well, since Priceline rates the Homewood 2 1/2*. Go figure. Best rate on the hotel website was $139/149.While the Marriott has no kitchen, fridge, or free breakfast...it does have an indoor pool and a convenient free bus to UNC stops right outside. Another plus...the entire hotel is smoke free. :-)Will let you know how the stay goes... Link to comment
