  1. I was looking for a hotel in an area that we go to every year the same weekend. Sorry, don't want to reveal exactly what it is right now (but will post if we book the hotel). I found what I am positive is the same hotel, at the same price as last year. The price was $94/night. In 2016 the taxes/fees were $117. This year, the same taxes/fees are up to $150. $150 is almost 50% of the room. I find that outrageous. Is this common? Normal?

     

    Editing to say, since I know the identity of the hotel, I checked the prices on the hotel's own website. The nightly rate is about $10 higher, but their taxes and fees are only about $103, bringing the total to less than on Hotwire. And, it's cancellable until the day before arrival!!!

  3. I was hesitant to use HOTWIRE for this stay because I am familiar with the area and know that some of the hotels, particularly 2*'s, are pretty grim. But when I saw this come up, with it's set of amenities I was pretty sure it was the La Quinta, and I was right. Here are the details:

  8. Grabbed this hotel on HOTWIRE. I had been bidding on PRICELINE and was up to $85. I thought it might be the Comfort Inn, and it was. We stayed at this hotel, same weekend last year and paid $58/night. I'm finding hotels are way more expensive this year... maybe a sign that our economy is recovering? Here are the details:

    It is a nice hotel and we are pleased with it except for the sticker shock. We used the BB Hot.wire link as always.

    It says 100% recommended, when searching from the BB link. 

     

    I hate that they've now lumped Shelton in with Bridgeport, because we definitely do NOT want the Bridgeport Holiday Inn. But I don't think the Holiday Inn has all those amenities.

  11. Amenities are:

    Free parking

      Free breakfast

      Free Internet

      Pet friendly

    Indoor pool(s)

      Smoke-free rooms

      Fitness center

      Pool(s)

    Business center

     

    Says it's 100% recommended. I searched for both 2 adults, and 2 adults + 1 child... same result as above

     

    This is on Hotwire.

     

    Sorry, I just realized I posted this in the wrong place... it should be under Hot.wire.

  12. Just got this hotel after checking Hot.wire for the past month or so. The price had fluctuated between $60+ and $70+, but today saw it for $47. Here are the details:

    We stayed at this same hotel, same weekend, last year. Were first given an awful 'priceline' room, but will make sure that doesn't happen this time. I did write a review of the hotel which is in the review section. Last year this hotel was listed as 3*, it is now down to 2.5*, which is more accurate.

     

    Used BB HOTWIRE link, as usual.

  14. I’ve been bidding for a hotel in Mystic over the busy Labor Day weekend for about a week. I started at $45, (which is what we paid last year for a 2* hotel for these dates), and upped my bid by about $2 every day or two. I also checked Hotwire to see what rates they had. Yesterday we hit pay dirt with a bid of $58 for a 2.5* hotel. Here are the particulars:
