Changing search parameters to SHORTER stay produces LESS choices

 

Search parameters:

Charlottesville va, US, whole place, max $89. 12/29/17  to 1/9/18 produces lots of choices.

Reducing the leave date by even 1 day reduces it to 3. ?!?

Sounds a bit odd, but many hosts increase their minimum stay over the holidays.

So MOST of my local hosts have 11 day minimums?  10 might make some sense, or 14, but 11? Sorry, that's lottery win unlikely. Almost certainly a programming bug.

@Mark674, I did the search for Charlottesville, VA, whole place, max $89, for Dec 29 to Jan 9 and found 42 places. Changing the dates to Dec 29 to Jan 8 found 45 places.

I am not sure what the differene is, but those are the results I received.

I forgot to mention that I'd set it for 'whole house,' which initially came up with a bunch of hits. So you're right - unselect that, and you get a lot of rooms, none of which are the whole house listings I was getting at first. A glitch somewhere, I guess. 

Thanks for checking into it.

Ok, so whole house for 89 dollars a night, that's a pretty **bleep** good price. Maybe go up on it a little bit? You can't even get a motel for that price in Charlottesville.
