They booked me into a king sized bed with sofabed room. But since I had two adults and two children, they switched me into a 2 double bed room.

I used a PRICELINE link from Better Bidding.

Hello,

I just wanted to reply to close this out. We received a deal to stay at another property outside of using Hotwire or Priceline.

Thanks again for your help.

Thanks for the response.

I figured it was those two hotels. I just wanted other opinions/experiences. My group is still deciding on the dates for our stay. I will post what we decide to do.

Again, I appreciate your reply.

I noticed that the vast majority of wins for this area and star level are The James Royal Palms. And, if I were to guess, I’d say Hotel #2 is the James Royal Palms. However, since Hotel #1 has a different Recommendation Rating, it’s obviously a different hotel. Maybe Loews South Beach? I don’t see Loews getting a 75%, though.

Anyway, any help/suggestions/tips would be very much appreciated. And, of course, I will use a BetterBidding link for my HOTWIRE purchase. Thank you for reading and any reply. Happy bidding.

This thread is pretty old, but I just wanted to close it. I ended up staying at The Chelsea. They initially give you one bed if you put 2 adults on HOTWIRE. You have to pay extra to switch to a room with 2 beds. I believe is was $40 per night extra. I haven't tried the 3 adults or 2 adults/2 children method yet, but I believe that gets you two beds.

Thanks.

I was looking for a last minute cheap hotel in the Atlantic City area this weekend for a party I was invited to. I first tried $50 for 2* and got denied. I was trying to get either the Dolce, Clarion, or Fairfield, which are on the hotel list. Since there is no 1* hotel on the list for Absecon, I thought I would take a chance (knowing full well that the list is not complete, and there are so many hotels on the Absecon strip) and rebid adding 1* and raising to $60, thinking maybe I would still get a shot at one of the 2* hotels on the list. Apparently not. I got accepted for Absecon Travelodge. With fees and taxes, it comes out to $79, which is only $6 below retail. So, not the greatest deal. A little disappointed, but that's the risk you take.

Please add Absecon Travelodge to the hotel list for 1*.

Just wanted to close the thread and say after several tries with PRICELINE, I came upon a deal directly from the MGM Grand, and due to pressure from friends to finalize the booking, I took it. Came out to about $493 for the 4 nights. Not the greatest deal, but it's done.

Thank you everyone for your replies and assistance.

UPDATE: I was able to try $100. Got declined and given a minimum free rebid of $122.

UPDATE: I bid $90 for 2 rooms and was declined. They gave me an offer for $116. I still have not accepted yet. I'm thinking about bidding around $100. I guess I'll have to wait a few days, though, because I didn't get a free rebid.

@JamieDDS: I don't want Trump, either. That's why I only selected 4*. I was looking at Monte Carlo. That will probably be my fallback if I don't get the price I want through Priceline. Thanks for the reply.

My two main factors in choosing a hotel in Vegas this time is location and pool. Basically, somewhere with a nice pool on the strip between Desert Inn Rd (Wynn/Encore) and Tropicana Ave (MGM/NYNY). Anything more north or south is just too far of a walk for me (yes, I'm lazy). I stayed at Bally's during my last visit, being more price-conscious. The location was great, but the pool and amenities weren't spectacular to say the least. So I'm at least looking for a step up from Bally's. So, like I said, the Monte Carlo would suffice as a fallback. Pretty nice pool, decent location.

I need 3 rooms for 4 nights during Memorial Day Weekend (5/27

Reply was given in the San Francisco thread. Sorry for that delay.

Since this is for Hotwire, should this be moved to the New Jersey Hotwire thread. I accidentally posted here. I actually was initially going to ask a question about Priceline, but changed my mind and forgot to change the thread.

Thanks.

Before I could suggest the Orbitz deal, my manager went ahead and booked the room straight through Hilton.

Thank you for your help.

Hello. I am looking for a room for Halloween weekend in Atlantic City, specifically 10/30 - 11/1. I need to have two beds in the room. My question is if I put 2 adults and 2 children in the search on HOTWIRE, will this guarantee me a list of available rooms that will have two beds? Is it better to put 3 adults?

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

I am attending a conference at the Hilton San Francisco from 8/13/09 - 8/16/09. I need to book a room for those days, and it must be at the Hilton San Francisco. What is the probability of getting the Hilton San Francisco if I choose 4* in the USW area?
