Getting a hotel room for $56 a night in Chapel Hill NC just seems bizarre to this Boston girl. We didn't even have to do the name-your-price auction; this was one of Priceline's take-it-or-leave-it-but-at-least-you-get-to-pick-the-hotel deals. Thanks, William Shatner! I feel confident that I could have bid $25 a night and still gotten us some roof over our heads. But this way, we could choose the location.

Hoping for good driving weather next week!

That makes me think of when my sister lived in Raleigh, NC (several years ago now)--every time we went down to see them it was like a grand vacation, because we could always get a really nice hotel with a pool. Which my sister and her daughter loved.

And I don't think we every spent more than $45-50 a night. Of course, this is in the late 90's.

I'm still trying to score a decent price for a room in Philly in March. You always get such great deals! I'm jealous!
Have fun you guys. ;-)

My suggestion: Run searches on two hotel travel websites (Expedia, Priceline). Once you find a price that's good or a tiny bit above the price you wish to pay, give the hotel a call. Chances are that the hotel can actually offer you a better deal than these websites can as the websites take a fee. Just mention that you saw a particular rate online and there's a good chance they'll bump $10-$20 off of it.
