Sharmz Posted April 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 I thought I had replied to the previous post but I have now. Thanks! Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 With so few, and common, amenities i don't have any insight into the HOTWIRE offer above. Is this the only acceptable zone and what is your maximum budget (per nite before fees/taxes) for this trip?

Sharmz Posted April 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Our budget is $125 max in an area that is central so we can easily get to all the tourist spots. So Lourve, Marais, and any others. Would we be able to get a better deal through Priceline? Any tips and help would be greatly helpful. Link to comment

Sharmz Posted April 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Are there any identifying amenities I should be looking for for Best Western Marais on HOTWIRE? Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 The Best Western Marais has never been reported to the board, so it's not even known if they participate on the 'opaque' side of HOTWIRE... is this the only property that you're looking to stay at for this trip? I would not recommend trying to search for your ideal hotel and then hope it appears on HOTWIRE, especially in a large city such as Paris where there are so many hotels, as the chances of the one that you want appearing (when it has never been known to appear before) is quite low... better to look at what is offered, try to take your best guess, and then see if any of them will work for your need and is a good deal at the current price.

Sharmz Posted July 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Need help ID this hotel 4-star Hotel in Saint Germain - Luxembourg Gardens - Invalides area 4 stars | 85% approval 1 Room, 2 Adults, 0 Children Fri, Sep 15 - Mon, Sep 18 Free Internet, Smoke-free rooms, Business center $134 per night It says that the last person got Hotel Le Petit Paris I would love to have that hotel as it has great reviews. Also how accurate are the - "hurry, last person got this hotel" Thanks. Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 The "Last Person got ___" information shown by HOTWIRE is relative to the last person who bought a hotel in this zone and at this star rating, it is not necessarily in relation to the hotel currently being offered. For the HOTWIRE offer above (search with our BiddingHelper.com tool and click the 'FULL AMENITIES' button in the EASY VIEW tab next to the offer to make sure you're seeing the complete amenity set for each property): 4* HOTWIRE Saint Germain - Luxembourg Gardens - Invalides for $134.00 Free Internet Smoke Free BusinessHi-Speed Internet ==> i'm nearly certain this is not the Hotel Le Petit Paris... my best guess for this one would be the Hotel Trianon Rive Gauche How about this property (confirm your dates on the landing page of the provided link): 4* Louvre - Vendome - Concorde - Les Halles - 1st Arr. - 2nd Arr. for $121 Business Center Free Internet No Smoking Rooms/Facilities ==> not too many amenities listed, but my guess here would be the Holiday Inn Paris Opera - Grands Boulevards, and while 'just' a Holiday Inn, the reviews are actually quite good and a good location for touring the city Your thoughts on this one?

Sharmz Posted July 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Thank you so much for your help - I never realized Paris had soo many options for hotels. The Holiday Inn looks really great and the metro is right next to the hotel. How sure do you feel about the accuracy? Also it has an option for superior room which is $136...would that be a suite? Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 I can never give a percentage of how accurate i feel something is, as for any given purchase it's going to be 0% or 100%, but i do feel 'pretty good' with my guess, especially given how few amenities are showing. If you're not familiar, many European hotel rooms are quite small (and their star rating system is a bit more generous than here in North America), so a Superior room is not going to be a suite, but will be a larger and more comfortable room. You can see an example of the room sizes/descriptions for this particular property HERE.

Sharmz Posted July 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Thank you so much! We got the holiday inn for $134 superior room plus the 5% discount through the PRICELINE link you provided. Seriously this site is always a money and hassle saver for me. Now on to find hotels in Rome and Florence! Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Congratulations on your success! Good to see it was the hotel guessed and that you're pleased with the results and received a nice deal.
