While Norfolk isn't very close to Virginia Beach, I think we'll be happy being in a city next to the huge MacAurther center mall and shops. I had previously tried to win hotels 3* and above in the Virginia Beach Area zone exclusively, but found no luck bidding up to $100.00. That wasn't surprising, as its peak season and even a 2* can demand $200 rates per night. While I was pretty close to biting the bullet and booking the Holiday inn Surfside (@$210), my hotel cheapness took over when I thought about how I could spend the $400 savings.

Used the PRICELINE link of course!

Congratulations on your win!

I enjoyed reading your thought process on this one and glad to see you take the savings... that $400 can easily go towards parking charges if/when you head to the beach as well as some nice dinners while you're away.

Thank you for sharing your win with the board and for using our PRICELINE link to begin your bidding.

Have a great trip.
