I am trying to book a hotel in Dublin for September 20-23rd, and love using this forum to identify my hotel through Hotwire. I only see one hotel listed on the Hotwire hotel list under Dublin which is a 3 star. I am looking to book either a 4 or 5 star. Can you please direct me as to how I might identify these hotels? Thank you!

Please post what you find out as I am trying to identify hotels in Dublin as well. I will also post on the Hotwire forum.

I would be willing to stay here if it is a hotel with good reviews, even without park n fly, but I have no clue which hotel this is when comparing the amenities to the Hotwire Hotel list. Do you have an idea which hotel it may be?

Hello, I am trying to identify this hotel ( 3.5* San Francisco (San Mateo - Redwood City)) which is listed with: shuttle, fitness, pool, restaurant, business center, laundry, internet and golf. It shows on Hotwire with a rate of $89 for 9/21/08, 1 night. Also, does anyone know, if you book a hotel through Hotwire are you able to do a park and fly at that hotel (I need a hotel and somewhere to park my car for a couple of weeks)? I'm sure that is very case by case basis, but I would like to know if anyone has insight into this. Thanks!

I would like to stay at the Renaissance Salzburg September 27th, 2008 for two nights. What is the "bonus cash" son of pezcore is referring to? What do you think I should start my bidding at? Thank you!

Thanks to both of you for your help and specific directions. I think we'll try the Airtrain/Subway/PATH option on the way in, if it's do-able, again on the way out simply because of the savings compared to other transportation. Also, last time we were in town we didn't try a Steakhouse (unless you consider Gramercy Tavern). Any recommendations? We were thinking about Peter Lugers, heard the steak is good, service and ambience bad, or Delmonicos. Any other suggestions? Also went to Lombardi's, Johns of Bleeker St, Grays Papaya, Stage Deli, this time will add Grimaldis, Mesa Grill, and possible Bridge Cafe to the list. Any other musts?

You are right, this is in lieu of the other thread I started, had a change of plans. Thanks so much for your suggestions. I decided to grab the $111 rate through your link on Hotwire. Sounds like a fairly decent price for this hotel, because of the good reviews and the location and view are a plus. I will be flying into JFK and would like information on getting to the hotel. Last time we were in town in 2004 we took a car service to Manhattan. I would like to try to get there using the subway, but am not sure what route to take, or how feasible this is. If it was easy seems like everyone would be doing it. Can you suggest a way to get there via subway? Do I need to take a bus partway? Is it going to be difficult with luggage?

I have decided to visit NYC for 5 nights, Aug 30 - Sept 4. Hotwire is giving me a 4* in Hoboken-Jersey City, which I'm assuming is the Hyatt which is where I want to stay, for $111. Should I try Priceline and try to get for $65? Would rather not stay at the Doubletree. I have read several other previous threads of people stating to stay under $75 to avoid the Doubletree, how is this? What would my best bidding strategy be? Looks like I'd be pretty safe in avoiding the Doubletree since almost 100% of the users have been getting the Hyatt on the Hudson. Any help would be appreciated. Would like to book this afternoon if possible.

Thank you for your response, I guess I should re-word my question. I will be staying in New York for the dates of 9/22-27, and want a 4 star in a central location. If I try for a MTW location for those dates (and hopefully win the Westin), what is the best strategy, meaning should I wait until closer to time to try to book, do prices drop closer to time, and what price should I expect to pay? Would Priceline or Hotwire be my best option?

My first time post. We are traveling to New York Sept 22-27. Would prefer to stay at the Westin. What is the best strategy to ensure I get this hotel, and should I use hotwire or priceline, have never used either before. Another option is the Omni Berkshire. How much should I expect to bid, and what options/location do I need to enter?
