Skipper2108 Posted July 10, 2003 Report Share Posted July 10, 2003 :) OMG BEAV You just saved me over $150 I don't know how to thank you for your post. To make a long story short. I was going to use Priceline and stay in west Holywood Wynham hotel. Seems that hotel raised it's priceline rate. I read this elsewhereThen we said ok let's stay at the Sheraton Univeral. I made a normal reservation. Price was $150 THEN I saw your post. I did research and noticed you were right. The Burbank Hilton is sneaky with same amenities.SO I did this. I put in your dates and then the dates I wanted. You dates showed $81 3 1/2 * Customer Favorite!. Half of my dates showed $74 and NO Customer Favorite! I knew the $74 had to be the Hilton. This is how you can tell the difference. Seems Weekends are for Hilton only.So I booked the half with $81 3 1/2* Customer Favorite! AND YES I GOT THE SHERATON. I would I loved my entire booking at $81 but Half is good too.PS If you don't have a Starwood member card? Get one. It helpsPPS Thank you so much again Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 10, 2003 Report Share Posted July 10, 2003 BEAV,Can you confirm that when you booked the Sheraton was indeed a Customer Favorite?THANKS! Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
Skipper2108 Posted July 10, 2003 Report Share Posted July 10, 2003 I know he did not say it in his post. But when I pulled up his dates it did. So it made alot of sence. Why would the Burbank Hilton next to an airport be a customer favorite? Aslo that price was $74 not $81.All the planets came together on this one so I went for it. Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 10, 2003 Report Share Posted July 10, 2003 I was just looking for add'l confirmation, as i try to make sure things are as black and white as they can be since so many people on the boards will be using this info for their own purchases.There have also been questions asked in the past as to whether the 'customer favorite' designation is a random event or always shown for a particular hotel, so i figured asking would help in this regard as well.

BEAV Posted August 31, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2003 Sorry for the late post! Yes, Sheraton Universal was listed as a "Customer favorite" when I booked in July for my upcoming September stay. I was expecting to get the Burbank Hilton since the amenities are the same. It wasn't until after being awarded the Sheraton Universal that I went back and checked and noticed the "customer favorite" differentiated it from the Hilton. Live and learn! Link to comment
