Basically, you can't make a hotel show up if they're not offering rooms for your date.

You can try with all different permutations, ie 1 guest, 2 guests, 2 guests w/2 kids, but if they're busy and don't have enough rooms to warrant discounting, there's nothing you can do.

If you have IDed the icons, all you can do is keep watching and see if it turns up. You could also try LMT and other engines that offer some discount. Finally, if you really want that hotel, you can try to get a AAA, advance purchase or loyalty club discount.

Gallus, thanks for the reply. What is LMT?

My wife and I are visiting Salt Lake City on June 7th, and just found out my Son and his family want to drive up and spend the night and visit (with new grandbaby) from Las Vegas.

We have a reservation made through priceline for the Hyatt Place Airport location.

Through some research, I am 99.9% sure that I know exactly what the Hyatt Place Airport listing looks like on Hotwire. I've found it for several dates, but it does not some up in the listings for the desired date.

I was just wondering, if it's possible that it might show up as we get closer to the date, and they possibly add more inventory for that date, or.....are you usually out of luck once the stock is replinished for a particular date?

Are there any tricks on ways to get a hotel to come up for a certain date?
