AaronJB Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Please provide a follow-up for your prior New York City Hotwire thread (post what you decided for that stay within that thread, then reply to this thread and we would be happy to take a look and try to ID the above listing.) Closing prior threads is greatly appreciated as it helps others researching and keeps the board organized. Thanks again. Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

jets2008 Posted February 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Just updated, never booked for that trip. Did a direct reservation somewhere Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 It would be appreciated if you used our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com for your regular rate bookings (as it helps us keep this site running as a free resource for everyone) For the offers above I believe there are 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 search using the EASY VIEW TAB of our BiddingHelper.com tool. (always use this method for your searches/purchases to ensure you're seeing the complete amenity set and for an easy comparison of PRICELINE vs. HOTWIRE, as well as to use our new IS THIS A GOOD PRICE feature). If you repeat your search using our BiddingHelper.com tool... use the HOTWIRE EASY VIEW tab and then click the GREEN BUTTON next to each of these listings, do you see more amenities (including any accessible amenities) then what you have listed above? Using this method, below is the full list of amenities i'm seeing for each along with my best guess/comments: 5* North Scottsdale for $271.00 Resort Pet Friendly Fitness Pool Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Golf Spa Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Wheelchair Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower ==> Fairmont Scottsdale Princess 5* North Scottsdale for $437.00 Free Internet Resort Pet Friendly Fitness Pool Restaurant Business Laundry Hi-Speed Internet Spa Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower ==> Omni Scottsdale Resort and Spa at Montelucia Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases. Let us know what you decide and how it goes or how we can be of further help.

jets2008 Posted February 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 I just tried MAPS and HOTELS.com and the 5* $271 isn't there. I'll be sure to use the HOTWIRE link on this site tho Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 MAPS and HOTELS.com is for your regular rate purchases, so naturally it won't show the HOTWIRE $271/nite offer above since that is a Hot Rate 'opaque' rate. Our BiddingHelper.com tool does show opaque rates and in the EASY VIEW tab currently shows both of the 5 star hotels above (the $271/nite one and the $437/nite property) Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

jets2008 Posted February 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 I meant to say that the princess didn't show up at all. Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 The MAPS and HOTELS.com site searches 'regular rates' for both PRICELINE and HOTWIRE. While the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess may not be showing in the PRICELINE tab, it IS showing in the HOTWIRE tab (although you may have to change the original search criteria to 10 miles of Scottsdale, AZ since this property is located more than 5 miles from what the map is using at the epicenter of 'Scottsdale, AZ') Here is direct access to the link that is appearing at MapsAndHotels.com: Fairmont Scottsdale Princess.

jets2008 Posted February 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Thanks for the feedback. Now considering other hotels in the area. Will post back here if I book this hotel Link to comment
jets2008 Posted February 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 4* North Scottsdale $140 per night 3/2 - 3/5 Just trying to confirm this hotel is the Westin Kierland and not the Talking Stick Resort (or some new 4* property) Using the bidding helper site, 4* Hotels in or near the zone for your dates: (the hotel offered may or may not be one listed below) $466... The Westin Kierland Resort and Spa FULL AMENITIES: Free parking, Resort, Pet friendly, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Self-service laundry, Internet access, Golf nearby, Tennis nearby, Spa services, Children's activities Link to comment
AaronJB Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 I'm seeing: 4* North Scottsdale for $140.00 Free Parking Resort Pet Friendly Fitness Pool Restaurant Business Laundry Hi-Speed Internet Golf Tennis Spa Childrens Activities ==> A guess would be the Westin. It would not likely be the Talking Stick, as the listing is showing a 4.5/5 tripadvisor rating and I'm seeing a 4/5 for the Talking Stick. Please keep all posts for this stay within this thread - thanks. Thank you for keeping us updated with what you decide and let us know if we can be of any additional assistance.
