Started here with PRICELINE link. Was trying for a hotel in Hoover area. Wanted 3* or higher. Began bidding at $32. Used rebid zones for Inverness, Pelham, and Irondale. Raised by $2 over a period of 2 days. Got the Courtyard by Mariott South, Colonadde for a bid of $40.00. With taxes and fees total was $54.21. Normal price was $75 + taxes for government rate which I normally would claim for business. Regular rate is $109 per night. Date of stay: 3/31/11
