Thanks again for your help a while back AaronJB and thereuare. For this trip we ended up staying at the Scottsdale Resort and Conference Center, who ran a promotional sale which got us a great price. The bidding options and prices didn't quite work out for what we were looking for, so we decided to go with a non bidding booking for once. Thanks.

Also, is there a list available for St Martin / Maarten hotels on Priceline?
Thank you very much for your help!
Thanks AaronJB and thereuare. I'll make sure to click on those links.
Great, thanks. I was thinking it might be Talking Stick. Unfortunately that's not what I was hoping for, so maybe I'll keep trying with Priceline, who's "North Scottsdale" area doesn't appear to include Talking Stick geographically. Our budget is about $250 per room per night, so I'm trying to stick to bids under $200 per room per night before the taxes and fees. I've bid up to $170 so far on Priceline.
Otherwise, on Hotwire I also see this 5* hotel in North Scottsdale. Any idea which hotel this is?

Thanks for the response thereuare. We are a golf group of 8 guys, so we're looking for 4 rooms with 2 beds in each.
We're looking for a 4+ star hotel in North Scottsdale, and unfortunately I didn't see any available with Priceline's Express Deals option. In that case, I think I'm going to go with Hotwire's hot Rates or Priceline's Name Your Own Price.
On Hotwire I tried inputting 4 rooms with quad occupancy and that same 4 star hotel in North Scottsdale came up, just a bit more expensive. Assuming it's a hotel that I/we like, I'm going to go with this plan for booking:
- Bid on Priceline's Name Your Own Price up until I hit the Hotwire hot Rates dollar value for that 4 star hotel. When using Priceline, bid on 5 rooms and hope that 5 rooms have enough beds for 8 of us (with a post-bid request to the hotel about # of beds)
- If bids on Priceline don't win before I hit the Hotwire hot Rates dollar value, then I'll use Hotwire's hot Rates. In this case, I'll either book 5 rooms (like mentioned before) or 4 rooms at the higher rate. Overall these two Hotwire options come out to about the same total price.
Sound like an OK plan?
Back to my first question, do you know what hotel that might be?
Thanks again!
Also, do you know of any way to guarantee two beds in a room when bidding on Priceline or Hotwire? Thanks again!
Our exact dates are 3/6/13 to 3/11/13. Thanks!
This didn't seem to match up exactly with any of the hotels on your Hotwire lists. Can you please help me identify it? Thank you!
