  3. Looking to ID 3 Star Hotel for 1 Night pre cruise. Fort Lauderdale, FL, United States (FLL-Fort Lauderdale - Hollywood Intl.) • May 8 - May 9 • 1 room • 2 adults Las Olas - Downtown - Port Everglades area 95% recommended and Tripadvisor: 4 out of 5.0 Hotewire: $122 Amenities Free breakfast Free Internet Pet friendly Airport shuttle Smoke-free rooms Fitness center Pool(s) Business center I am thinking its the Hyatt Place 17th street or Embassy 17th street Leaning toward Hyatt Place since I called Embassy and they said they charge for airport shuttle. If Hotwire list airport shuttle as an amenity is it complimentary ? Stayed at the Holiday Inn express last year booked directly so the area is good precruise Looking for a place that has Free Shuttle and Free breakfast in Ft Lauderdale as we are flying into FLL Any help is appreciated!!
  4. I went up to $121 with bonus cash that was in my account and got nothing ended up booking via HOTWIRE
  5. Of course using the PRICELINE link :D Started bidding in the Sonoma area and south Napa area Started at 80 and worked my way up to 107 with no luck My account also had bonus cash that brought the total to 111 still no win I noticed HOTWIRE has 4 star in Sonoma for $133 a night. I'd book it with hotwire but when I add 1 child both 4 star hotels disappears, strange. Any tips or bidding strategies ? How high should I go on PRICELINE ?
  6. Had to go the Wilmington for business so gave Hotwire a shot Won the Holiday Inn that is beach front in Wrightsville Beach. (1706 North Lumina Avenue, Wrightsville Beach, NC, 28480) The Hotel itself is ok but showing age and they have specific rooms for Hotwire guest and not willing to move you no matter the complaint or reason (i.e filthy room). Regardless of how many other rooms where available. Probably first time we were tried like a low class for say using Hotwire and may be the last. Hope this helps someone but can't recommend the hotel via Hotwire. 4.5 out of 5 Traveler rating provided by TripAdvisor 95% of Hotwire reviews recommend (30+ total reviews) Amenities Resort Beachfront Property Indoor pool(s) Fitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business Center Laundry Facilities (self-service) High-Speed Internet Access Golf Nearby Accessible for the blind Accessible for the deaf Free Parking Accessible path of travel In-room accessibility Accessible bathroom Handicapped parking Roll-in shower
  7. I was reviewing the hotel list as I normally do before bidding. For Sonoma its straight forward and appears to list 2 possible hotels. For Napa it list 4 hotels but when I go to Priceline there are 2 zones for Napa. Napa Downtown North and Napa Downtown South. All 3 zones have 4 stars. What zone do you recommend I start bidding in for convenience to most wineries ? Which zone has the 4 hotels we may win ? and how low of price should I start at? Checked Hotwire and noticed a 4 star in Sonoma going for 133 a night but only when no children selected, what gives? Looking for following dates: 11/18 - 11/23. Thanks for any help in advance.
  8. Mileage from airport shows 18.5 miles. google maps shows 18.8 from Gaylord Palms. Omni is further away. But still unsure if this is Gaylord and if mileage is accurate.
  9. Ended up booking a Hotel direct that is cancellable. I am eying a hotel I saw on Hotwire Hotel details Location: Disney Main Gate - Celebration Star rating: 4.5-star Check-in date: Wed, Aug 29 Check-out date: Sat, Sep 1 Price summary Hotel Rate per night: $76.00 Nights: 3 Rooms: 1 Tax recovery charges & fees: $43.67 Subtotal: $271.67 Trip total: $271.67 4.5-star Hotel in Disney Main Gate - Celebration This Hotel features the following amenities: Resort Smoke Free Rooms Fitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business Center High-Speed Internet Access Golf Nearby Tennis Nearby Spa Services Free Internet Accessible for the blind Accessible for the deaf Accessible path of travel In-room accessibility Wheelchair accessible Accessible bathroom Handicapped parking Roll-in shower Bathroom has a roll-in shower Based on the information from BB I believe it to be Gaylord Palms, What do you guys think ?
  10. yes was the Hilton near downtown Disney with AAA rate. We changed it to Wyndham Grand AAA rate $109 night a few weeks back but still eying some on HOTWIRE.
  11. Ended up booking a 4 start Hotel on Disney property for $79 direct with AAA discount that's refundable up to 5 days before. I guess I will continue to watch HOTWIRE as we get closure, not sure I can get a better deal then this
  12. I was looking at the same hotel for stay at end of August I believe its Sheraton Lake Buena Vista Sheraton Safari Got 4 out of 5 on Trip advisor http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g34515-d115398-Reviews-Sheraton_Lake_Buena_Vista_Resort-Orlando_Florida.html Whats annoying is that the hotel is $84 direct and $71 on Hotwire. If its something different I'd be curious to see what it is From HOTWIRE: 4-star Hotel in Lake Buena Vista - Downtown Disney This Hotel features the following amenities: Smoke Free Rooms Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business Center High-Speed Internet Access Accessible for the blind Accessible for the deaf Accessible path of travel In-room accessibility Accessible bathroom Handicapped parking Roll-in shower
  13. Found a handful of places that we can book direct under $100 that are close or on Disney properly. I tried bidding Resort on Priceline up to $80 with no wins in Disney Lake Buena Vista Zone Might end up booking direct.
  14. My wife, my 20 month old daughter and I will be visiting Disney before our Disney Cruise in Early September. We have never been to Disney before (At least as Adults) and need help in finding a hotel that will have shuttles to Disney. We generally Priceline (Name your price) or Hotwire our hotels but appears there are many zones in this area. We will have a rental car but my wife prefers to shuttle as she thinks its more convenient. We will only be there 2 full days before the cruise and where planning to go to Epcot and Animal Kingdom as they where recommended for our daughter. Can you guys recommend any hotels for direct booking or zones to use in priceline/hotwire? Any other help or tips appreciated. Top priority being location to Disney, Price, Shuttle and # of Stars.
  15. There was a $21 bonus cash under my rewards so I clicked on the link and booked $6 plus $3 bonus from Priceline. Total Charges to Your Credit Card Your Offer Price: $6.00 (per day) Total Rental Days: 7 SubTotal: $42.00 Taxes and Fees: $58.89 Total Rental Car Charges: $100.89 Next lowest price was hot wire: Fullsize for one week $10.95 per day $139.46 total Hopegully Avis gives us something better than an Impala, lol Maybe a Malibu or Sonata would be nice
  16. Started bidding in the $50 range and went up to $61 Priceline tried to con me into bidding 12 more and I refused Bid $4 more and won at $65.00 continued to watch Hotwire and noticed this hotel on there also around $80 night Won this exact same hotel around this time last year. Much better location than Crown Plaza as you can walk to all the downtown areas Four Points By Sheraton Asheville Downtown 3 star Asheville Downtown - Biltmore Estate 22 Woodfin Street, Asheville, NC 28801 And as always used the board PRICELINE links
  17. Yes I would look at the hotel list so you can get an idea of what hotels you might win Check hotwire and see what 3 star range is . Then start low in the 50-60 range Last year late April weekend trip we won four points for $64 I believe. Good luck
  18. wjcassidy, we've taken a lot of trips to Asheville. Always using Priceline and bidding 4-3 stars. We usually get the Crown Plaza in 3.5 star downtown zone. Its just an ok hotel but I recommend others well before it. Please be sure to post your winnings as we may be able to help each other I am going a few days after you go in April. Don't spend more than $80 on 3.5 star downtown zone. IMO I'd rather pay more and book direct then over pay for Crown Plaza. Try 3 stars in downtown, we once won the 4 points Sheraton and it excellent location to downtown! I am referring strictly to Priceline but may give Hotwire a try this time around. PS be sure to support this site and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links ;)
  19. Meant to post this a while back and forgot, nonetheless someone else also posted so no issues Booked Mon thru Friday originally and tried to add Sunday for $100 additional about 3 weeks out and was denied Waited one week before and was able to add it. Got to the hotel and asked for Oceanfront or Oceanview and was treated like low grade priceliner ask the person yelled loudly " since you pricelined ....." Was offered Oceanview and Oceanfront at additional night cost even though rooms where available and we refused. Hotel rooms are just ok but resort is nice. We where charged $10 a day for parking... nickel and dime if you ask me. Overall was outstanding vacation but in the end would have preferred Westin Resort. Hilton Head Marriott Resort And Spa Check-In Date: Sunday, Jul 3, 2011 Check-Out Date: Friday, Jul 8, 2011 Hotel Name: Hilton Head Marriott Resort And Spa One Hotel Circle Hilton Head Island, SC 29928 843-686-8400 yep used the PRICELINE link... CHEERS!
  20. I tried to PRICELINE Hilton head 6/17-6-20 I tried for 4 days and went up to $151 Did not win a room, I agree with first poster in past I was able to win rooms in 90-120 range without any issues We ended up booking Myrtle Beach via hotwire. Take a looks at Charleston if you are interested in alternative and good luck!
  21. correct Children's Activity Program is listed as Amenities and I believe it was cut off on my copy and paste. Here is the full list again Amenities See description Beach Front Oceanfront Smoke Free Rooms Fitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Laundry Facilities (self-service) Golf Nearby Tennis Nearby Children's Activity Program Myrtle Beach North 7.7 mi Myrtle Beach North area hotel (1.7 - 7.6 mi from city center I hope we do have a better experience, I assume they are condos individually owned so each may differ.
  22. 3 Star North Myrtle Beach, SC hotel Fri, 06/17/11 - Sun, 06/19/11 Ocean Reef Resort Midscale See ratings guide 7100 North Ocean Boulevard, Myrtle Beach, SC, 29572 Amenities See description Beach Front Oceanfront Smoke Free Rooms Fitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Laundry Facilities (self-service) Golf Nearby Tennis Nearby Please update the hotwire list Used the HOTWIRE link from this site of course :)
