dcinoc17 Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 I'm looking to book the Hyatt in Poipu for November. I'm hoping to get a discount on the hotel but am not wanting to stay anywhere else. It looks as though the Koa Kea is in a similar location, with similar rating and similar price. Is there a way to be sure I get the Hyatt over of the Koa Kea when using either Hotwire or Priceline? Thanks for the advice! Link to comment
AaronJB Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Welcome to Betterbidding. Please provide exact date/s of travel so that we can research inventory and rates. There is no way to bid for a particular hotel via PRICELINE bidding. If you bid for a particular star rating you have to be willing to stay at ANY of the hotels at that star rating in that zone, which is one of the trade-offs for the discounted rates. With HOTWIRE and PRICELINE EXPRESS, you can make an educated guess as to which hotels are showing, but one (or occasionally two) listings show in each star rating in each zone for each set of dates and the hotel/s showing may not be the one you are looking for. There is also the chance that the way a hotel appears on PRICELINE EXPRESS and HOTWIRE can change, so there is no way to guarantee getting a particular hotel. If you are seeing a HOTWIRE or PRICELINE EXPRESS listing of interest, please provide the star rating, zone, price per night (before taxes/fees) and complete list of amenities showing and we would be happy to take a look and try to ID. Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches. Link to comment
dcinoc17 Posted August 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Looking for the Grand Hyatt in from Nov 15-17. Ideally would like a suite if I can get it for around $400. If not then the standard room will do at whatever discounted rate I can get. Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 There is no way to target/avoid a specific property when bidding on PRICELINE, you need to be willing to accept any hotel in the zone at the star rating (or higher) that you bid. For your dates HOTWIRE does have a 4.5* hotel offered in the Poipu zone for $249/nite with: Free Parking Resort Beachfront Oceanfront Fitness Pool Restaurant Business Laundry Hi-Speed Internet Golf Tennis Spa Childrens Activities Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower ... this matches previous reports for the Grand Hyatt and that would be my best guess for this one. Unless otherwise indicated, all PRICELINE / HOTWIRE purchases are for 'standard' rooms, although you can try at check-in to see if any upgrades (paid or complimentary) are available. Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases. Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
