Hotwire Hotel: 3* Myrtle Beach Best Western Carolinian

After extensive comparison between a number of different travel sites and determining that my usual route of Price.line wasn't going to fly, I decided to book one of Hot.wire's opaque Hot Deals.  Used BetterBidding's links for all research and bookings. 

 

3* Hotel, Myrtle Beach area

Amenities:

  • Resort
  • Free Parking
  • Free Internet
  • Oceanfront hotel
  • Fitness Center
  • Pool(s)
  • Business Center
  • Self service laundry
  • Golf Nearby
On several different visits to the Hot.wire Hot Deal details page, a blue banner appeared saying that the last person to book had gotten the Patricia Grand.  I was okay with staying there, but preferred the Best Western Plus Carolinian.  Lowest going rate for the Best Western Plus Carolinian was found on Kayak/Priceline at $121.94/night for an "Accessible Double" room, and once taxes and fees were tallied, the total was coming to $438.56.  The total for the opaque Hot Deal was $323.42 ($89/night x 3 nts, + $56.42 in tax recovery charges & fees).  I decided that I couldn't justify the $100 extra for a less-than-ideal (Accessible Double) room, and that I was okay with the Patricia Grand.  Instead, I was pleased to get the Best Western, at a much lower price, and will keep my fingers crossed that we can get a king bed rather than a double set-up.

 

Hotwire does refer to some properties as Resorts and others as Hotels, but am not sure of the criteria used to determine which is which.

Congrats on your success. :)

 

Very nice win for this property and glad you are pleased with the deal.  Thank you for letting us know about the change in amenity set for this HOTWIRE property so that we can update the site's Hotwire Hotel List.

 

The "last person got" messages note the last hotel that someone got at that star rating in that zone in general.

 

I believe there were likely more amenities then what you have posted above as HOTWIRE has a new interface that does not show the complete set of amenities unless you click thru a few extra links.

 

For future searches/bookings you can do the following to ensure you're seeing the complete list:

1) use the EASY VIEW tab of our BiddingHelper.com.com and click the green 'See All Amenities' button

OR

2) search HOTWIRE (or use the HOTWIRE tab at BiddingHelper.com.com) and...

click the offer

on the next page click the BOOK NOW link

in the TRIP SUMMARY box click the 'See more' link at the end of the amenities

 

Thank you for sharing your win and please use the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.

Enjoy your stay.
