Good to 'see' you around the board. This one required some digging but we're always up for a challenge.🙂 2.5* HOTWIRE Helena for $69 Free parking Free breakfast Free internet Indoor pool(s) Smoke-free rooms Fitness center Pool(s) Business center ==> Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Helena seems to be a good fit and would be my best guess for this one 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 how it goes or if we can be of further help.

Welcome to BetterBidding! Best / easiest way to find the hotel you're looking for is to search with our BiddingHelper.com tool. After searching click either the HOTWIRE RESEARCH or PRICELINE RESEARCH tab and then hover your mouse (or click if on mobile) over the blue 'SEE MATCH from HOTEL LIST' in order to reveal the hotel that is being offered. As there are a lot of hotels in this area, you can also further filter the hotels by clicking the zone on the left hand side to only show the hotels that are in the 'Walt Disney World - Bonnet Creek' zone (or any other zones that you may be interested in, but this is the zone where the Disney hotels are located) I am currently seeing both the Swan and Dolphin offered, but none of the POP hotels. There is never a definitive answer to 'When is the best time to book', but our usual advice is to 'know' what a good price would be and then jump on it if/when it becomes available. Also, don't forget to include our Hotwire Coupons when determining if a hotel is within the buy range or not. Let us know if you have any issues using BiddingHelper.com or if there are any other questions we can assist with. 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. Good luck and let us know what you decide or how we can be of further help.

Congratulations on your success! I see you ultimately opted for the HOTWIRE property, and glad to see i twas the one that you were hoping for from the onset. Thank you for sharing your win with the board and helping us update this property in the Hotwire Hotel List. Enjoy your stay.

You can virtually exclude the Westin from the 3.5* PRICELINE offer as: 1) The Westin at Woodlands is 4 star rated by priceline, whereas the offer above is 3.5 star rated 2) the 3.5* offers Free Breakfast, which is not a standard amenity at Westin properties Furthermore... 3) most hotels do not offer both an on-site Restaurant and Free Breakfast... the Embassy Suites is an exception to this rule as it is one of the few chains that typically offers both; the 3.5* The Woodlands offer from Priceline Express does indeed offer both 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.

I forgot to add above, that you can identify either of these (or just about any other Priceline or Hotwire hotel) using our BiddingHelper.com tool. Just do your search and then hover your mouse (or press if on mobile device) over the blue button. Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board. Good luck and let us know how we can be of further help.

Welcome to BetterBidding! I assume you're searching for 2adults/0children?

The BiddingHelper.com issue that was brought to our attention yesterday has now been fixed... all tools and processes should be working. If anyone encounters any issues please let us know. 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.

The PRICELINE EXPRESS deal ratings are based upon their own internal data from research they have received from customers. (SIDE NOTE: HOTWIRE no longer has a contract with TripAdvisor and no longer uses their review data) Assuming you're trying to research an 'opaque' hotel, we have developed many tools that can automate this process for you... have you tried searching using our BiddingHelper.com tool and using the 'PRICELINE RESEARCH' tab? If you're unable to successfully research a specific property let us know the details of your search and we will offer our best guess. 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. EDIT TO ADD: i see there is a BiddingHelper issue right now retrieving amenities for PRICELINE hotels... we're working on it and hope for a resolution by tomorrow (Tues)

Welcome back! 🙂 This rarely happens, but we have seen it before, and in almost all circumstances PRICELINE will rectify the situation, it will just take some legwork to get to the right person/department that is authorized to make the correction. What hotel did you receive, what is the address that PRICELINE provides, and what are your dates of travel? (just to understand how quickly this needs to get resolved, as if your stay is in 2-3 days the urgency is quite different vs if your stay is in 2-3 months)

Congratulations on your success! Glad to see you received the hotel guessed and that you're looking forward to your stay. Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your purchase. Have a great trip... and safe travels!

Let us know whatever you decide to do for this stay... or if we can be of help with any additional offers. Good luck!

I can't rule either of these out, but i don't see any evidence to definitively suggest that it is one of these. If you're looking for a Secrets property i would sooner have a look at this HOTWIRE offer: 5* HOTWIRE Montego Bay for $331 Free internet Resort Beachfront hotel Casino Fitness center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business center ==> Secrets St. James Montego Bay - Luxury or Secrets Wild Orchid Montego Bay - Luxury (i would slightly favor the St. James but it could be either) 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 how it goes or if we can be of further help.

The issue above has now been FIXED!! Reveal Hotels (as well as BiddingHelper and the Hotel Lists) should now all be working correctly. Thanks for everyone's patience and let us know if anyone encounters any future problems.

Thanks for the inquiry. We upgraded oursever yesterday which broke the way we display the researched hotel information (it also effected the Hotel Lists and BiddingHelper) Assuming no major issues we anticipate having it fixed today. If there is a specific hotel you're looking at and need to act quickly, feel free to email me the details and i'll have a look at it. Thanks.

Congratulations on your success! Hope this was the hotel you were hoping for and that it works well for your needs this trip. Thank you for sharing your win with the board and helping us add this property to the Canada Hotwire Hotel List. Please click the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases. Enjoy your upcoming stay.

Sometimes things break... including websites. As technology evolves and customers want more features from websites, updates (some minor / some major) are needed, and unfortunately sometimes adding one feature has unintended consequences. There is usually quite a bit of QA testing that goes on, but as each person uses a website slightly differently, it's nearly impossible to account for every possible scenario before releasing an update. I can assure you that PRICELINE / HOTWIRE both want to sell you a hotel room, make it as easy as possible to book, and have the overall purchase experience be positive. It may take a few days for them to get around to it, but now that they are aware of the issue i'm sure it will be fixed soon. Hope you're enjoying the weekend away from home.

Looks like the issue still exists, although i will note that if you start your search directly at HOTWIRE the CAD prices are correct (within a few dollars) within the search results page. Once you click an offer the price shows as lower (using the USD numerical value but still with the CAD currency designation)... then when you click to the detail page the 'We hate it when this happens...' message appears with the correct CAD amount. As a side note, this reminded me of my first travel to Europe 30+ years ago. The locally currency exchange rate was 1 = 1.5USD. I remember the numerical prices of everything was the same... but in reality was 50% more expensive than in the US.

Yup, i see you figured out the issue... there is something wrong with HOTWIRE's currency selector and although it indicates the rates are in CAD currency, the numerical value is in USD; once you get to the check-out page the system double-checks the price vs. availability, realizes the price shown can't be booked, and adjust the price accordingly. I'll have a look in the morning and if the issue still persists i'll bring it to their attention. Thanks for the post.
