MisterBill Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 Started at $30 in Newark at 2.5* and that did not work, then added the zone in MD that has nothing other than 1* for $35 and still no go. I finally went down to 2* and increased my bid to $37 and was accepted. Best rate for the hotel is $79 and my other non-PL option was the Ramada for $52 plus taxes and we much prefer Fairfield Inns. I was afraid I would get the Days Inn if I went to 2* but obviously that did not happen. Yes, I probably could have retried $35 at 2* and then gone up to $37 with the other 1* zone but decided not to bother.I had originally been going for just one night (Friday 4/17) but then decided to add another night at the beginning on the last bid since it avoids a 5 hour drive to get to MD at 9am.
MisterBill Posted April 13, 2009 Author Report Posted April 13, 2009 Moderator, please fix the topic of this. I guess the 2nd line should have had the rate and dates. The dates are truncated, it's 4/16-4/18. If would be nice if editing the post allowed one to change the topic as well!!
