crwest Posted April 10, 2010 Report Posted April 10, 2010 In all cases I used the PRICELINE link. I had wanted the Airport zone but could not get any interest although I bid from $30 to $46. The reason I wanted it because I would have the option to rent a car off airport. I then decided to bid in the East zone and noted a recent acceptance at $39. I then started bidding in the East zone starting at $38. After four free rebids it hit at $42. I am amazed that this price was obtained as on November 5 and 7 the Breeder's Cup (Super Bowl of horseracing) at Churchill downs. Most of the hotels have jacked their prices up like they do for the Kentucky Derby. As an example, the Crowne Plaza in the Airport zone quote a price for the four days $1242 which includes tax.Rooom rate $ 42.00$ Nights 168.00Taxes & Fees 34.32Total 202.32Online price 607.25Savings 404.93 or 67% which is not too shabby!Cheers!They have a free continental breakfast. I also have another hit for 11/9/2010 to 11/10/2010 which I will post separately.
AaronJB Posted April 10, 2010 Report Posted April 10, 2010 Congratulations on your success. :)Outstanding deal! I'm guessing prices may ramp higher closer to the date. I'm guessing you may have gotten a particularly good deal in this case bidding this far in advance.Thank you for sharing your win with the board and using the site's PRICELINE link.Enjoy your stay.
