  1. I did not book either of those but I did use your site to book this property:

     

    3.5 * Columbus North $57 Crowne Plaza Columbus North

    Restaurant, Pool, Indoor Pool, Fitness, Smoke Free, Free Internet, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Laundry, Golf, Free Parking, Blind Accessible, Deaf Accessible, Travel Accessible, Room Accessible, Bathroom Accessible, Handicapped Parking, Roll-in Shower

     

    This property turned out to be the Crowne Plaza Columbus North.  Which was the best guess of your BiddingHelper.com.  Since I have stayed in this area at the same time every year I was about 95% confident it was that property.

     

    I'll try to figure out how to mark this as a "win" and change the title. 

     

    Whenever I am looking to use HOTWIRE I start with your site!

    Researching hotels can be a very time consuming process, so we ask that your plans be firm and you ready to commit to a non-refundable purchase at the price currently offered (assuming you like the hotel guessed).  This helps us reply to everyone on the board that is seeking help in timely manner.

     

    For the offer above:

    Smoke Free

    Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

     

    Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

     

    Thank you for the information.

     

    This was the Bilmar Beach Resort. We changed our dates of stay to October 23, 2016 to October 28, 2016. Since it was all weekdays, the rate dropped to $89 per night plus the $20 day resort fee.

     

    The Bilmar looks to be a motel converted to a resort.  It is located directly on the beach and it appears all of the rooms are ocean view. Free convenient parking! This is a nice functional property. I would defiantly stay there again.

  5. The blind hotels change all the time and so does the rates on those properties.  Usually I book something at a property where I receive points so I know I will have a place to stay then look for a better deal.  Do to my personal situation, I cannot plan far in advance and my plans do change.

     

    As input to my decision making process I am strongly considering the property which is the subject of this thread. I am not looking for a lesson on how I should plan my trips. You don't know my situation.

  6. The 21+ I saw was not on Hotwire. I just looked on the website of one resort in that area and that is what i saw. How common that is I don't know. i emailed the resort and they told me as long as someone over 21 with a credit card checks in, it will be okay.  That is not what how the policy is stated on their website. A big part of what will determine our plans are what hotel this is. 

     

    Almost every inquiry I have made on this board are for trips I actually made. Many times I don't end up using Hotwire because I can get points if I find a property that gives points. I use Hotwire when it makes sense to do so.

  7. 3.5 * clearwater beach - Treasure Island - $103

  8. 3.5* Columbus - Worthington

     

    $60 September 22 - September 25

     

    85% recommended

     

    FULL AMENITIES: Free parking, Indoor pool(s), Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Self-service laundry, Internet access, Accessible for visually impaired, Accessible for hearing impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking, Roll-in shower

     

    I used the BiddingHelper.com to start my search.

  9. I have a slightly different question.  If I purchase a room for 3 or even 4 people would that guarantee me a room with two beds? Most of the time when I travel, I need to beds. Up till now that excluded using Hotwire.  If selecting 4 adults would always get me two beds, I would use Hotwire more.

  10. Uing your BiddingHelper I found two 4* properties listed for Worthington:

    Crown Plaza maybe?

     

  11. Thank you for closing the thread, sorry that the stay was such a disappointment. :(

     

    After vigorously complaining to the manager on the phone while driving to the event I was in town for, my money was refunded.  I sent an email to Country Inn & Suites management.  They went above and beyond to restore my faith in their brand and my next two stays in one of their properties was exceptional.  This location is now a Lexington Inn.  I would recommend anyone considering this property read as many reviews as they can before making up their mind.

     

    Even the most reputable brands can have a bad property.  Do your homework!
