The Park Plaza Victoria is a good guess. That is what I would think as well. If you plan on reserving, help support this site by using this HOTWIRE link to start your purchase and let the board know the result.

This one looks to be a match to the Millenium Hilton. That would be my best guess. If you plan on reserving, help support this site by using this HOTWIRE link to start your purchase and let the board know the result.

This one hasn't been reported to the board, but the tripadvisor traveler rating matches the Howard Johnson Inn Kissimmee Maingate East. The only thing I can't confirm is the tennis. I haven't been able to find anything regarding tennis near this location. The HoJo is the only hotel that I see that matches the tripadvisor rating and star rating. That would be my guess.

The 3* Palm Desert looks to be a match to the Holiday Inn Express. The other 2 hotels haven't been reported to the board, however, the 2.5* Cathedral City has a 3/5 tripadvisor traveler review rating based on 20+ reviews which is a match to the Quality Inn. The 3* Cathedral City doesn't have a tripadvisor rating and just a few amenities so narrowing it down is difficult. It could be the Best Western, Holiday Inn, Courtyard by Marriott or other similar hotels in the area, of which there are many.

I'm thinking the Franklyn D Resort & Spa could also be an option as well. I see that the Royal Decameron is rated more often as a 3-3.5* whereas the Franklyn is rated more along the lines of 3.5-4*. Just throwing it out as another option.

I would be fairly confident that it is the Inter-Continental. From what I see, there isn't any other hotel in the zone that matches the full set of amenities. The combination of spa and laundry seem to be the distinguishing amenities. With that being said, there is never a 100% guarantee that it is this hotel no matter how many signs are pointing in that direction, it is always a possibility that you can get a completely different hotel. I don't see a problem using the Visa gift card for the reservation. They are used just like a regular credit card, only with a defined limit. HOTWIRE handles the booking of the hotel so you wouldn't need a credit card or proof of payment at the hotel, your confirmation number will have that info. However, most hotels will still ask for a credit card upon check-in for incidentals (room service, mini-bar, phone, etc.). What typically happens is that they will put a pre-authorization on your card for a certain amount just in case you decide to skip out. I'm not quite sure how this would work with the Visa gift card. It might be a good idea to call the IC (or other hotels) before you book to see what their policy is regarding the Visa gift cards.

I would say to continue checking HOTWIRE up until your cancellation date with the Novotel (assuming you have the option to cancel). You never know what hotel might pop up and at what price.

Please include the full list amenities for each hotel and we'll take a look. To see the full list click 'continue' on the hotel from the main search results page, then directly underneath the amenity icons click 'see all amenities'.

Can you please list the full set of amenities.

I'll take a stab at them: 4* Central South Beach - Hotel Astor. It matches the tripadvisor rating, but what I am unsure about is the fitness icon. It doesn't have one in the hotel, but guests receive discount passes for the place next door. 3.5* Ocean Drive - Hotel Chelsea. Again, tripadvisor rating matches. 4* Oceanfront Collins - National Hotel. Has been previously reported. These would be my best guesses.

That particular set of amenities hasn't been reported to the board yet and matches many of the hotels in the area. With no other information it's tough to pinpoint exactly which hotel it could be. The Best Western has been reported to the board from that zone and matches the amenities so it is definitely a possibility. Unfortunately I can be of more help. This one is tough to pin down. If you do end up booking, help support this site by using this HOTWIRE link and let the board know the result. We can add it to the lists.

The Hull hotel is likely one of these three: Four Points by Sheraton Gatineau Holiday Inn Plaza la Chaudiere Ramada Plaza Manoir du Casino I think the hotel sandibeach was referring to was the Ramada.

Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread. There can be many reasons why the hotel offered on HOTWIRE for 1 room disappears when 3 are needed. It could be the last hotel room they have available at the HOTWIRE rate, it could be HOTWIRE choosing a different hotel to appear, or any number of other factors that we have no control over. The main thing though, is that I definitely would not feel comfortable booking one room 3 times. There is no guarantee that the hotel has more rooms to offer on HOTWIRE, and there is no guarantee that HOTWIRE wouldn't offer a completely different hotel the next time. I would think the chances of you getting the same hotel offered on 3 separate bookings is very slim and, personally I wouldn't risk it. Which zone is this on HOTWIRE? and what are the amenities associated with this hotel? I see you are also looking at PRICELINE. Keep in mind that you cannot guarantee which hotel you are going to get, so if you are really looking for a boutique, then HOTWIRE may be a better way right now. Are you open to other hotels? Bidding for 3 hotel rooms may make it a little trickier in getting a great deal, but unless you want to take the chance of staying in different hotel it is really your only way. Another question...Do you need 2 beds per room or is 1 fine?

The amenities you list don't match 100% with what has been reported to the board, and HOTWIRE doesn't mentions a tripadvisor traveler rating to help narrow it down. It could be any number of hotels. However, when I change the search parameters to 2 Adults + 1 Child, a different hotel pops up for $55 ($7 cheaper than the other one at $62) with amenities: fitness pool restaurant business internet tennis golf This matches the Hilton and the Hyatt so my guess would be one of these. There is no other information that I see to narrow it down further.

What are the dates of your stay?

This one seems to match Le Meridien. That would be my best guess. If you plan on reserving, help support this site by using this HOTWIRE link to start your purchase and let the board know the result.

Is this for the same hotel stay as Hotwire - Lake Buena Vista?

This one looks to be a match to the Holiday Inn Regents Park. That would be my guess. If you plan on reserving, help support this site by using this HOTWIRE link to start your purchase and let the board know the result.

Welcome to the site 808travelinthru! While it may seem like a lot of information at first, it really isn't that complicated when you get down to it. We're here to help so just post as many questions as you like. I would really suggest you read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained to get an idea of how the bidding process works. It looks like you have already won a room with PRICELINE but it seems like you may not have realized it. I suggest you check your email to see if PRICELINE has emailed you a confirmation for your hotel win, and please update this thread with the hotel that you won.Keep in mind that PRICELINE reservations are non-refundable or cancelable, so you cannot change your reservation if you are unhappy with the hotel.

It seems like you might be a little confused with PRICELINE and HOTWIRE. The only site that you bid for hotels is PRICELINE and bidding is only based on a zone and a star rating. The amenities of the hotel do not impact which hotel you are going to get. HOTWIRE works differently by offering a hotel by listing it's amenities, star rating, and zone. You don't know the name of the hotel, but you have a better chance of guessing which hotel you are going to get because of the information you are given. If you are set on getting a W hotel then HOTWIRE may be the better option, with PRICELINE there is absolutely no way to target a specific hotel. You get what you get and there are no cancellations (HOTWIRE also does not allow cancellations). With that said, I think $120/night for a hotel anywhere in Manhattan is just not going to happen, unless you are willing to stay in a 2* or less which can get really sketchy in NYC (I know first hand from experience - my worst ever hotel stay). I think you would be wasting your time starting at $120. What star rating are you looking for? The cheapest hotel I see on HOTWIRE for your dates is a 3* in the Empire State Building Area for $235 with amenities: fitness, laundry, and kitchenette. This one looks to be the Murray Hill East Suites, and has pretty good reviews with a 4/5 tripadvisor traveler review rating. HOTWIRE is showing a 4* in the Midtown East Zone for $309 with amenities: fitness, restaurant, business, internet, and spa which looks the be the W hotel you are aiming for. While you can typically get better deals on PRICELINE than HOTWIRE, I have never seen PRICELINE be 70% less than HOTWIRE. I would say 10-20% is a more typical range, but even then, that is just a guideline. What is the maximum you are willing to pay for a night? and what is your minimum star rating?

What are the dates of your stay?

What is the star rating of the hotel, and what are your dates of stay?

This one hasn't been reported to the board, however I notice that HOTWIRE mentions a tripadvisor traveler review rating of 4/5 based on 20+ reviews. Referencing tripadvisor directly, I see one hotel that matches the amenities and the traveler rating: the Westin Alexandria (4/5 based on 29 reviews) The Westin would be my best guess.

Just a question...Did you start your purchase by using this site's HOTWIRE link? I have seen that exact comment from many other people on the board lately, do you recall the exact error message given?

This one looks to match the Hilton Minneapolis and Towers. That would be my guess. If you plan on reserving, help support this site by using this HOTWIRE link to start your purchase and let the board know the result.
