Phaelon56 Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 Change of business travel plans - the Staybridge Suites room I bought for 5/20 in Atlanta will go unused but I'll be reimbursed by my employer anyway (they are delighted that I'm saving them so much $$ on business travel during our serious slump).Sidestep shows 2* to 3* hotels at $62 - $70 and Hotels.com is at $70 - $89. HW has 2* at $40 and 2.5* at $56. Newport News is close enough to my morning destination and has 3* and below zones (Hampton is strictly 2* and below and is closer to my client).Bid 1 - 3* Newport News at $30 - rejectedBid 2 - 3* free rebid (add Hampton) at $35 - rejectedNew BidBid 1 - Hampton 2.5* at $30 - rejectedBid 2 - Hampton 2* at $25 - rejectedtake a deep breath.... for the first time ever.... go to the scary 1* level!Bid 3 - Hampton 1* at $23 - won the bid!Pleasantly surprised at the outcome - this place is part of chain of Extended Stay type of properties and based on the website is likely better than 1*. Sidestep and Hotels.com both rate it as 3* and show it at $65 and $70 respectively - cheapest direct book rate is $85. Considering that there are iffy and inconsistent chains in that area such as Days Inn, Econolodge and Comfort Inn - I'm happy. I really just needed a bed to crash and this fits the bill.Your Offer Price: $23.00 Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 1 Subtotal: $23.00 Taxes andService Fees: $7.61 Total Charges: $30.61 Link to comment
