Matthew Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Hotel newly confirmed! Upgraded from a 2.5*, first bid of $45 rejected, counteroffer $58, tried only one free rebid (Speedway) of $52, accepted!Looks like a nice hotel, I checked my confirmation on Marriott and it says I'm booked in a Queen Studio with Sofabed [they also offer Kings w/ Sofabed and 2 Bedroom Bi-level Suite]. The queen and kings are on a holiday promotion of $79 plus $11.85 tax, and the studio is $129 plus tax.I was trying for the Country Inn and Suites [ http://www.countryinns.com/indyin_north ] since they have a pool, as well as free WiFi and breakfast. Thankfully the Residence Inn has free WiFi and hot breakfast, as the only other confirmed 3* Embassy Suites looks like they may charge for Internet [and their pool is closed until Feb 1, who knows what other construction may be going on].Web site: https://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/indn...anapolis-north/Residence Inn Indianapolis North 3 StarIndianapolis Northwest3553 Founders RoadIndianapolis, Indiana 46268317-872-0462Check-In Date:Sat, Dec 27, 2008 / After 03:00 PMCheck-Out Date:Sun, Dec 28, 2008 / 11:00 AMAmenities: Remote control TV w/ premium channels Radio Alarm Clock Business services Telephone w/ voicemail Iron and ironing board Hairdryer 24 hour front desk On-site Dining Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $52.00Subtotal: $52.00Taxes & Service Fees: $15.68Total Charges*: $67.68Sorry, I used a different referral link.Thanks as always for a great web site!@Matthew Link to comment

Matthew Posted January 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 This was an excellent hotel, Residence Inn is my new favorite brand with Marriott [the other being Courtyard]. We were placed on the first floor, and although it seemed like no one was in our little building, the breakfast the following morning showed otherwise. The staff was very friendly, and the breakfast attendant did a wonderful job, plus there was a lot of food, she even got me more hot water for my tea. Wireless Internet was included and worked fairly well.I asked for a print out to see what the two level suite looks like, and it does look really neat. Of course at Priceline's rate, I would probably just book two rooms. Amazingly even the pull out bed was comfortable, I slept on it. The only problem with the room was some fuzzy TV channels and the window wouldn't open or close since the track was bent.The hotel was conveniently located off the interstate and two major roads, tho I couldn't hear any traffic. It was extremely close to the dinner theatre we were going to. Shopping malls were fairly easy to get to. I highly recommend this property. Link to comment
