It seems that they have corrected this little glitch. I was playing around as recent as Friday and this method worked fine. They have removed the "more info" tab and when you select "book it" it gives you several hotel ID's in the URL address.

I did notice that when you look at the photos, if you are familiar with the hotel, you can figure out what the property is. In my case I immediately recognized the MCO Hyatt pool & lobby in the photo description

using the betterbidding HOTWIRE link .....

Thank you again for your help and the link to help with Priceline. I've read the info and I *think* I understand. I am going to move my seeking advise & ??? over to the Priceline forum.

Thanks for the input.

For some reason, I am much more intimidated by Priceline than Hotwire.

I was looking for something more near Fanuiel Hall/Boston Common area, but the available options were so much more expensive than the S Boston option. Do you think I would have better luck with Priceline getting something closer to my perferred location?

Looking at Oct 8 for $127/nt

I don't see this area (S Boston) listed in the Boston Hotel options.

Would anyone have any insight to what this hotel might be?

TIA

Yes, this was listed as a 3.5*.

It was in fact the "Marriot" at the airport.

Thanks for the help!!!

Greetings:

I have been lurking for a couple days and am ready to book a hotel for my pre-cruise stay on 12/18

Listed is: airport shuttle, restaurant, pool, fitness, business, laundry (SS), tennis(NB) for .

It is also listed as a "customer favorite" so I thought this might be Crowne Plaza except it has the add'l amenities of "laundry & tennis".

Could this then be Marriot?

TIA
