Hotel help

Arriving on a Wednesday night, after 10pm. Needing a hotel for one night. Taking the CNN VIP tour the next morning at 8am. Any suggests on where to stay? I hate to spend more than $100 since we will only be sleeping there one night, not staying long, but don%26#39;t want to be in a rundown place either. Also need something fairly close to CNN also. Not asking much, am I? Thanks for the help!

If you only need 1 bed, I%26#39;d suggest you try Priceline for a 4* hotel downtown. The 4* options downtown will be within walking distance to the CNN Center. See www.biddingfortravel.com for how to use Priceline effectively.

If you don%26#39;t want to use Priceline, the Omni is in the CNN Center. There%26#39;s an Embassy suites across the street and a new Hilton Garden Inn next to that. All would be good choices.

I agree that Priceline is your best bet. Otherwise, you%26#39;re not likely to find anywhere under $100 in that area that isn%26#39;t a roach motel.

I have never used Priceline places, we are traveling the first week of September, so when should I start ';bidding';?

You can get lots of advice on biddingfortravel.com, which has tips for Priceline bidding. I know you don%26#39;t want to bid too early, but don%26#39;t want to wait too late, but don%26#39;t know what the exact window is. I would suggest watching prices in Hotwire too.

There%26#39;s an FAQ on www.biddingfortravel.com that tells you all you%26#39;ll need to know. It%26#39;s a lot of reading, but it%26#39;s worth to be fully educated for the best deal.
