  1. Update to the stay. Here is the review I put on tripadvisor based on my stay. I'm sad to say the stay could have gone better: I have stayed twice in this property. First time was in 2008 using a government rate. Back then check in was good and services were great. I since returned in December of 2013. I used HOTWIRE to bid for a 4 star hotel and got a reservation here. Initially I was happy and looking forward to returning, but I left the property disappointed. When i first checked in, the property wanted to charge me for a third guest despite directly paying hotwire for the three guests. Of course I showed them the receipt that clearly stated that the rate included 3 guests. After debating for 15 minutes, management took out the charge "as a favor". When we got to our room, the TV image would often freeze and stay out of sync with the sound. Around 2 AM on our first night, the smoke alarm somehow started making soft (but nevertheless annoying) sounds. All three of us awoke, but were too tired to call the front desk. Finally, when we checked out one day later, the hotel wanted to charge us twice for taxes. Again, we contacted the front desk where (luckily) the receptionist was aware of the issue and fixed the issue. I left the conversation pondering whether the hotel knew all along about this issue. I do not want to make this only a negative review, because the beach staff in particular was very nice, courteous, and friendly. When we needed help getting towels, setting chairs, or getting local recommendations, they were prompt and helpful. Their service was excellent. Overall, however, I would be cautious when dealing with this property

  3. From HOTWIRE I got the San Juan Courtyard Isla Verde. This is an interesting win because I thought this property was rated at 3 stars. Nevertheless, I'm happy since I have stayed here before and it's a great property. Thanks Betterbidding for your help. Next time I will use your HOTWIRE link.
  4. Using the PRICELINE link provided, I've also had bad experiences for around that time. I am looking for a hotel for the night of 3/10 and also had failed bids. I went up to 105 for a 3.5 star around the MDE, MDW, CPS, MSG, and Time Square and got failure after failure. Now you tell me that I may not even get that for 140...not looking good :(
  5. After failed bids of 90 and 95 (with free rebids through zone tricks), the Sheraton Waikiki accepted my 99 dollar offer. Pretty happy about my win here, and thanks to all for your input and information! Bigbird090
  6. Using the PRICELINE link, on the first try bid of $110 was accepted for two nights at the Marriott. Very happy about the location. Could have potentially saved 10 more dollars, but the property looks amazing and without betterbidding I would have certainly overpaid! In the beginning I tried bidding up to 70 dollars for a 3 star in either kahului or Kihei, but all my bids (and subsequent rebids) failed. As a result, I realized that it would be best to just book a better hotel in Maui. Thanks all! Bigbird090
