  1. The exact opposite... you can pretty much exclude GWL as a potential option since this property does not offer Free Breakfast while the PriceBreaker hotel shows Free Breakfast as an amenity. As long as the hotel is 1 of the 3 shown PRICELINE is providing what they promised (remember, it's not 'you pick one of these three' it is 'we will pick one of these three'). In case this helps make it clearer, and for anyone else following along: When PRICELINE shows 3 potential hotels for a PriceBreaker offer, priceline already knows which hotel it is going to be, the other 2 hotels are only added in order to create the 'opacity' of which hotel you will ultimately receive. This 'opacity' is what enables them to offer the given hotel at a price less than almost anywhere else. Thank you for closing this thread with your decision... have a great time with your family exploring the Niagara Falls area.
  2. I'm very familiar with NYC... what is your maximum budget (per nite before taxes/fees)? Any specific purpose for this trip or just general tourist type activities? Have you been to NYC before? Let us know the above and i'll see if there is something better that can meet your needs.
  3. For this 3 star $135/nite HOTWIRE hotel: Free internet Business center Fitness center Restaurant(s) Self-service laundry Smoke-free rooms Accessible for hearing impaired Accessible for visually impaired ==> Hotel Edison New York City would be the best guess here 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.
  4. I looked again this morning I got and I think I’m seeing this property now… $132/nite? Free internet Business center Fitness center Indoor pool(s) Pet friendly Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Self-service laundry Smoke-free rooms If so, I agree best guess for this HOTWIRE hotel would be the Courtyad Minneapolis Downtown. Let us know what you decide to do and how it goes or if we can be of further help.
  5. I’m not seeing this offer when searching for your dates above with the standard 1room/2adults/0children… are you searching for something other than the default rooms/adults/children? What is the room rate per nite? Or are you on a desktop (as I only have mobile access at the moment) 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.
  6. Welcome to BetterBidding! Few question/comments to clarify some of the above: What is your expected/maximum budget? (in USD) Since Great Wolf Lodge does not offer Free Breakfast, and the PriceBreaker hotel shows a Free Breakfast amenity, the PriceBreaker hotel is likely some other 3.5 star hotel in the zone and not the Great Wolf Lodge that you are looking for. Since you're trying to keep costs as low as possible, have you considered Sept 1-3, as that shows to be a little cheaper vs. including the Saturday nite. Also, i don't know the specific occupancy/children rules at GWL, or how they control access to the water park area, but this is a situation where you need to be careful booking an 'opaque' hotel with PRICELINE as they only guarantee double occupancy. While the risk of booking double occupancy at a 'standard' hotel and showing up at a hotel with a young child is somewhat low, it increases substantially at a property such as this (which offers a water park). I have not stayed at any Great Wolf Lodge properties but i have been to Kalahari (similar concept in the Poconos) and, iirc, access to the water park was restricted by wrist bands. If you book a room for double occupancy what if that only entitles you to two wrist bands to access the water park and they want an additional fee for the 3rd wrist band for your child? In this situation i think HOTWIRE would be a better option since their service allows you to search for up to quad occupancy, so there shouldn't be any additional occupancy charges if you include 2adults/1child in your search. This may ultimately be a moot point since the PriceBreaker hotel is not likely the hotel you're looking for. I am seeing what looks to be GWL on HOTWIRE: Sept 1-3 for $325 (USD before taxes/fees... and before our Hotwire Coupon) All terms of all of our Priceline Coupons are set by priceline. If you still want to use Priceline (even with the occupancy caveats above) you may be able to if you change your location to US and currency to USD. Do you encounter the same when trying our Hotwire Coupon? (i'm not sure if their terms are also confined to US or not) There is currently a known PriceBreaker issue where trying to purchase the hotel gives a 'You Just Missed It' message, and this happens both thru our site and on the PRICELINE site, but I haven't see the Captach issue in a very long time, it might help if, as per above, you change your location to US and currency to USD. OK, a fair amount for you to digest... let us know your thoughts / questions and how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there.

  7. To add to the above, if this hotel is of interest, i'm also seeing THIS HOTEL (confirm your dates on the landing page) on Priceline : 3 Stars Downtown Dallas Free Breakfast Free Internet Fitness Center Pets Allowed Handicapped Rooms/Facilities No Smoking Rooms/Facilities ==> i believe this one would also be the SpringHill Suites Downtown/West End... but would be a little cheaper when using our current Priceline Coupon
  8. Hi I believe this is the same HOTWIRE hotel you posted above but i'm seeing it at $104/nite: Free breakfast Free internet Business center Fitness center Pool(s) Self-service laundry Smoke-free rooms Suite ==> Springhill Suites by Marriott Dallas West End would be my best guess for this one (to confirm it's the same property you're seeing does it also show a 4.1/5.0 'Very Good' rating?)

  21. Hi casperslc, VERY HAPPY to hear you're finding the RevealHotels.com site useful! Unfortunately the short answer regarding a Hotwire Coupon is 'we don't know'. The longer(er) answer is that based upon Expedia's (the parent company of HOTWIRE) earnings report a few weeks ago, they seem to be trying to become less price-focused and more 'user-experience focused', which would imply fewer system-wide coupons available in the future. I'm not sure if this is their longterm strategy for HOTWIRE as well (which is a price-focused brand) or just a temporary reaction in an attempt to save money after the covid business downturn. I hope to speak with them in the comping weeks on the return of our exclusive coupon program, but i'd guess this will be at least 3+ weeks down the road. Of course, if/when we do have any coupons they will immediately be posted in the Hotwire Coupons section of the site. In the meantime, since you like RevealHotels.com, note that we have the same service for Priceline at ExpressGuess.com, and Priceline currently has an excellent 15% off coupon (expires today unless extended) Hope that is helpful... no firm answers, but it's (my taken on) the current state of affairs.
  22. Happy to help! Let us know if/how we can be of further assistance.
  23. Hi, Can you confirm that there is also a Wheelchair Accessible amenity listed for this property? (it would be in a separate grouping below the ones listed above) If so for this HOTWIRE offer: 4 star Notre Dame - Marais for $213/nite Amenities Include: Free internet, Smoke-free rooms, Self-service laundry, Wheelchair accessible, Air conditioning ==> best guess would be the Mercure Paris Notre Dame You can confirm almost all HOTWIRE properties, as well as confirm that we have researched the same hotel you are referencing, by using our sister site RevealHotels.com Good luck and let us know how it goes or if we can be of any further help.
  24. Congratulations on your win! Nice to see a 4 star hotel with free breakfast! Thank you for sharing your win with the board and have a great trip!
