Downtown, Veterans Stadium Area, and the airport areas, have easiest access to center city, but any zone should be OK. If you park your car at a center city hotel the fee can be as high as $25 a day.

If you want to stay in center city, the best location for sightseeing, you may want to start your bidding by requesting a four star hotel. Only downtown has four star hotels, so you are safe to bid low and increase you bid by the minimum amount as you add zones.

As soon as you know where you will be staying e-mail hotel requesting a non smoking room, and let the hotel know this is for health reasons. Most will try to accommodate.
