I gushed to friends and co-workers. I was a zealot. Over the past couple of years, and with the help of biddingfortravel.com, I had booked very nice hotel rooms at rock bottom prices.

At $32 a night for a room with microwave and refrigerator this is the bargain winner in this town. (If you stay a week the 7th night is free.)
