$100 a night downtown hotel

[jegbomb52]

Millenium St. Louis

1. Go to www.priceline.com
2. Click "name your own price"
3. Select "3 star hotel"
4. Select "Downtown St. Louis"
5. Click "buy my room"

You should get the Millenium. $120 a night with taxes and fees (you will be paying 15.5% tax through the hotel any way so this is a wash.

Re: $100 a night downtown hotel

jeg,

I am coming to town from Colorado. I have been told that there are hotels in Richmond Heights that are easily accessible to the light rail and the venue? I know ideally I would stay downtown but trying to make all of this happen quickly on a tight budget....'

thoughts?

Re: $100 a night downtown hotel

You are essentially looking at about 40 bucks more for your stay per night. If that. I would bet Richmond Heights is approximately a 15-20 cab ride from downtown (light rail quits at 11:00PM I believe (don't quote me on that). You are going to pay about $8 for an all day rail pass if not. If it is worth it to you to save 25-30 bucks that is cool, however, for my money, I wouldn't pass up the opportunity to experience this the way it was meant to be experienced, partying with your favorite 20,000 friends from Tennessee, Michigan St, and Columbus will be a once in a lifetime opportunity.

What you want depends on how you are coming. If it is with a family outside of downtown isn't that bad, a lot of good hotels in the surrounding towns. If you are looking to go out and have a good time down town stay there, cabs from down town to a "suburb" can easily run $50

I called the Hilton and they have a couple rooms at $209/night. Most of the hotels I called are full.

The priceline millennium looks like the best option.

Re: $100 a night downtown hotel

The Millenium is a story of two hotels, North Tower (where a majority of the rooms are 1 bed-rooms (queen / king etc...) the south tower is tower with mostly two bed-rooms. The difference is that the North Tower is un-believably nice, the south tower is an average place.

Re: $100 a night downtown hotel

my issue with priceline is that we have 4 people and priceline will only guarantee that the room has 2 person capacity. any suggestions?

With 4 people your right, priceline is not always the best way to go. I am surprised that Hotwire rooms haven't opened up yet, with Hotwire you can put in 4 adults and be guaranteed 2 doubles / queens.
