Priceline Hotel: 3* Allentown (Allentown-Lehigh Valley) Holiday Inn I-78

[BHL]

Looking for bidding assistance for any of the four Allentown bidding zones.

Depending on another bid for another stay I'll make (the Somerset NJ post), this may end up being only 8/30/08-8/31/08. Hoping to get a 3*, but a 2.5* would do if necessary. I guess my max bid for a 3* is $70, but feel free to suggest something else. Current prices are:

Allentown

3* Crowne Plaza (previously 2*) - none for either dates

3* Holiday Inn City Center - $127.67 (8/28-8/31); $133 (8/30-8/31)

Allentown (Allentown - Lehigh Valley)

3* Holiday Inn I-78 (Adrienne Drive) REVIEW - $125.62 (8/28-8/31); $121 (8/30-8/31)

Allentown (Allentown - Bethlehem) (NOTE: zone boundaries recently changed with new "Allentown" zone above added)

3* Four Points (Airport) - $120 (8/28-8/31); $110 (8/30-8/31)

2.5* Courtyard by Marriott:

--Courtyard Allentown Bethlehem/Route 22 - $169 (8/28-8/31); $109 (8/30-8/31) Why such a difference?

--Courtyard Bethlehem I-78 - $119 for both dates ranges

2.5* Residence Inn (Bethlehem) - $139 (8/28-8/31); $149 (8/30-8/31)

2.5* Staybridge Suites: (ALLENTOWN WEST, or ALLENTOWN AIRPRT LEHIGH VALLEY?)

--ALLENTOWN WEST - $113.32 (8/28-8/31); $109 (8/30-8/31)

--ALLENTOWN AIRPRT LEHIGH VALLEY - $132.38 (8/28-8/31); $152.10 (8/30-8/31)

2* Best Western Lehigh Valley - AAA rate 116.10 Thr, 125.10 Fri, 125.10 Sat, Gov rate $69 (8/28-8/31) - I can get; 8/30-8/31 same

Quakertown

none listed

Which Staybridge Suites is that in the hotel list for Allentown?

Also could you please add a street name to BB's hotel list for the 2.5* Courtyard by Marriott Allentown - Bethlehem, since there are there's a "Courtyard Allentown Bethlehem/Route 22" and a "Courtyard Bethlehem I-78", both in Bethlehem.

Strange that at some hotels, the prices vs. date ranges were opposite trends of other hotels.

this is the hotel located on Rt. 22, very close to the Lehigh Valley Airport. Also, the Staybridge Suites is the one on Airport Road, off Rt. 22.

Correct. Just making sure, did you mean to only bid up to $60? That's fine with me to try first.

$45 accepted for Holiday Inn Allentown I-78 (Lehigh Valley). :)
