Hampton Inn Clearwater/St Petersburg Airport {US-FL} (no longer Honors)

Hello fellow FTers,

I need to spend 3 nights in Tampa area in mid May. I did a search and many hotels came up, most of them for 60,000 points up and up(for all 3 nights).

EXCEPT the Hampton Inn Clearwater/St. Petersburg Airport which came up at ONLY 22,500 points (7,500 per night).

I will be driving to Tampa downtown every day early in the morning for a conference and driving back at night and crashing before waking up to do it all over again.

Flying in and out of Tampa airport.

I did a search here and am also watching the Priceline bidding forum for clues.

My main question is: Is this Hampton THAT Bad?? The savings in points appears to be very worth it.

I have been trying to get a 3* in the Tampa area for less than $50 but no success so far. At which $ per room is the threshold that you would rather pay instead of Pricelining it/booking it directly??

Any feedback appreciated
