Hey there!
I've been on this site many times and found it so helpful that I wanted to make an account. Just like everyone else here, I'm looking for the absolute best for the least amount of money. My girlfriend and I plan on going to Halifax either the weekend of April 2nd 2016 or April 9th 2016. My plan is to book the hotel at the last minute (most likely the day before we leave). Priceline has some good express deals for next day bookings however its always the gamble of which place you will get.
I noticed an older topic on this board where a person helped out by suggesting biddinghelper.com The "Hotwire Easy View" has some good deals... however I'm wondering if there is a "cheat sheet" of which hotel they are referring too ? It looks like if I go through Priceline for a 4*, the chances are high that you will end up at The Westin. I'm not knocking the Westin at all, its a beautiful hotel with amazing beds. However its kind of out of the way for me as I want to be within walking distance to some pubs and restaurants. Therefore I'm looking for the Lord Nelson or the Marriott.
In the older post I seen on this board, based on the amenities which included a "roll out shower" the person said the hotel is most likely The Lord Nelson. Sure enough... it was! Based on a second hotel listed the user said "This one is most likely The Westin". So I guess what my question is, is there a cheat sheet of any sorts that could give small hints on what hotels Priceline and Hotwire are offering? Any info would be appreciated. I will be sure to update this topic once I book something and how I booked along with what I paid.
