  1. I'm interested to know if the discount listed next to the hot rate on Hotwire reflects the particular room type that you will get, or if it is a general number for the property that carries no additional meaning.

     

    For example, you see a Hot rate of $125 that says "50% off". Assume it is fairly obvious what the hotel is given the zone and Tripadvisor info. This hotel has rates on other sites of $170 for a king room and $250 for a suite. Interestingly, only the $250 suites are bookable on the non-opaque section of Hotwire. Also interestingly, when you put in 3 guests instead of 2, the hot rate changes from $125 to $200. 

     

    If I book the hot rate of $125 (for two people), am I likely to get a suite or a king room? On the one hand it's crazy to expect a particular room type on an opaque reservation. On the other, if I get a king, wouldn't it have been a bit misleading to say "50% off"? Anyone know enough about how the bookings work to say?

  2. I'm not sure how you got a hotel in Trenton -- that is outside the Princeton West map area. I just bid $48 for Princeton West (using better bidding PRICELINE link) and got the Hyatt Carnegie Center for one night, 10/16/09-10/17/09. If you only chose Princeton west map on your bid, you should only get hotels above I-95 and below Alexander Road, at least 10 miles north of Trenton.

    They redid the zones a couple weeks ago.
