  1. I'm doing a search for 11/5-11/7 in SLC Downtown areas.  The Hotwire Easy View has a 3.5 star for $74 and it suggests it's a Hilton or Marriott. 

    When I go to Hotwire, it states it is a boutique hotel (listed under amenities on EZ view as well) and I'm quite confident it's the Peery Hotel, which BB has located in Downtown South. The Hotwire map clearly puts the Peery in the north, and thus I think that's a correction to be made, and I also don't believe either the Hilton or Marriott are "boutique" hotels.

     

    In fact, when I click on book now, Hotwire tells me to hurry up and that the last person got the Peery Hotel.

     

    Also, when I try to book from the easy view screen, and fill in all my information (and login) to hotwire, it will never finish the transaction.

    If I start this from the Hotwire Tab in BetterBidding, it goes thru no problem.  I've reported this before.

  2. Well, I went back this morning and there was a 3.5* resort with following amenities:

    FULL AMENITIES: Free parking, Free Internet, Resort, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Self-service laundry, Internet access, Golf nearby, Kitchenette, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Wheelchair accessible, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking, Roll-in shower.  It was the Orange Tree.

  3. Was 98% sure this was the property being offered thanks to other threads whereby BetterBidding staff had suggested it was likely, but no previous wins were reported.  The description and amenties (especially the bed choices) lined up so I was able to save about 15-20%.

     

    Free parking

    Free Internet

    Beachfront hotel

    Pool(s)

    Self service laundry

    Internet Access

    Golf Nearby

    Tennis Nearby

    Spa Services

     

  4. That's the full list of amenities.

     

    Also, "last person got ......" was a clue and thats all I meant to imply  Since no condo of any rating had ever been reported here as a win, and then I saw that the last winner  with that rating won this property, that's a good clue.  

    I saw it had 100% appoval on only a few reviews.  Went to Trip Advisor and saw similiar high satisfaction rating including a complaint from someone who stated they booked it thru hotwire.....    

     

    So while it wasn't guarranteed, I had a good clue given above.  In the worst case I was prepared to take a deal others have raved about, whatever condo property it was.  

     

    The reason I was focused on this property?  I want a view from my room.  A "beachfront hotel" is no guarrantee of a view.  However this property states on their own webpage that every room has an ocean view.

  5. Used the above link for HOTWIRE.  This was for 3 people, not 2 even though there will be two adults.  I wanted to increase the odds of having 2 beds rather than 1 king (which from their website is an option).  

    The rate for 2 was about $9 cheaper than rate paid.

    Also noted that the Priceline.Express deals for the Sheraton and Little America were each about $10 than what Hot.wire was offering, but I felt the Monaco would be a better value (free happy hour included btw).

  7. Saw this listed on Priceline.Express for (I think it was) $74.  Pretty sure it was Sheraton.  Didn't see any 4-stars on Hotwire, and wanted to avoid the Little America which is a 3.5 star on Price.line and 4-star on Hot.wire.

    Started bid at $63.   Got a reject and counteroffer in mid $70's.  Raised to $65 with a free rebid (added an area without a 4-star) and was rejected.  Repeated at $68.
