Why when I pull up this hotel on my search it shows $80 a night in sept and when I put in my dates I want Aug 25-27th it jumps to $135? These ar non prime nights and should not be higher priced. $80 isn't bad but $135 for a holiday Inn express? ???

A lot depends on events in the local area. Busch Gardens keeps this place booked pretty solid during the entire summer. I discovered last year when I attempted to book a stay that October became a prime period due to Halloween events at Busch Gardens.

It's a very nice hotel and closest to end of the summer book with a Expedia

Last days of summer.
