Hi.

I'd like to stop watching some forums but the "stop watching" button is not available.

Thanks.

Hi Allison.

PRICELINE will not guarantee a room suitable for more than 2 adults in the same bed.

If you do decide to stick with Priceline, once you have a winning bid contact the hotel and try to secure a 2 Queen room but they don't have to honor that request. This used to work (occasionally) years ago but haven't tried myself in a long time...

Alternatively you should try for a Priceline express deal or Hotwire. Hotwire will guarantee 2 beds once you enter 3+ people in the room.

I used to take the risk with PRICELINE when travelling with the family when the kids were very young but nowadays HOTWIRE is what I use for over 2 people.

Good luck.

Did not use HOTWIRE eventually, booked directly with Holiday Inn:

per night (1 room(s))

Total Tax † $38.46 (CAD)

Estimated Total Price † $334.36 (CAD)

Searched for 1 room (2 adults, 2 children) for May 26-29 2011

Used the betterbidding HOTWIRE link.

Amenities: Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Smoke Free, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Tennis nearby

This matches Sheraton Cerritos at Town Center according to the list but Hotwire shows "Recommended in 90 % of Hotwire customer reviews"

Tripadvisor shows only 77% approval rating which causes me to caution.

For less than $60 per night worth the drive to Disney I think.

Hi.

The dates on this win are wrong and cause it show up for future dates from 2010 to 2011 in the "calendar of wins".

Should be 6/9/10-6/11/10

Thanks,

Adi

Welcome to BetterBidding

Congratulations on your success!

Thank you for sharing your result with the board and using our HOTWIRE link to book this :)

Is this the Doubletree on 100 The City Drive?

Can you please add a reply to this thread with the amenities shown before your purchase... you can still view this information by going to HOTWIRE and clicking the MY ACCOUNT link near the top right of their home page.

Have a nice stay.

Yellowdog.

Thanks. Howard Johnson has conflicting reviews on tripadvisor. Not sure the deal is so great in that case.

Yes, I am not sure if it is the HI Express and worth the risk with the other two. Guess I'll check on tripadvisor if I get more intel on the ID.

What is the actual date(s) of the stay above?

Thank you for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board for your searches, purchases and bidding.

Thanks.

Dates are June 27-29, 2 adults+2 kids, 1 room.

OK, done.

Same hotel options.

I get the requirement to use your links for purchase, didn't know it was important to do so when researching.

Thanks.

Hello.

The following is not on the Hotwire list and my search on the forum only yielded one win for the Ramada (rated at 3*).

Searching Hotwire for end of June, 2 adults + 2 kids:

2*

$82/night

Complimentary breakfast

Pool

High speed internet

Initially thought it may be the Holiday Inn Express but seems risky with the Comfort Inn and Quality Inn in town.

The 3* result at $135/night appears to be the Ramada (Business Center, Laundry and High speed internet).

Thanks!

Thanks Betterbidding with the help of IDing this one. Saved 35% off Sheraton's web site.

The set of amenities is a match for the Sheraton Bellevue, so that's my best guess.

Thanks. That was mine too, that or the Hilton Bellevue.

Will confirm shortly...

Thanks.

Many of the reviews on the net are quite bad.

Don't know if I have any recourse with Hotwire if the experience is not good... they only compensate if they downgrade the hotel soon after.
