I've been checking into hotels for the Lake Las Vegas area. I received an e-mail from Hotwire with this offer: 4 * Henderson SE Las Vegas area hotel $82 amenities listed: Resort, Boutique, Casino, Shuttle to airport, Fitness Center, Swimming, Restaurant, Business Center I read through the posts and saw that most 4*s on Hotwire were for Green Valley Ranch, but those also listed golf, laundry and spa. Those were not listed for my hotel. Any ideas? Thanks for your help!
We are planning a trip to Lake Las Vegas and I am strongly considering bidding on Priceline for this hotel. I am in a group of four (2 adults, 2 kids.) Lately on some of my wins, I have been having trouble securing double beds. Some hotels refuse to give you a room with 2 beds and, instead, count on the pull out couch as accommodation for two. I was told at a Courtyard and also an Embassy Suites that it was against their policy to move you to a room with two beds. Does anyone know if Loews has a similar policy?? I know that technically they are providing a place for all four of us to sleep, but the two stuck on the pull out couch are definitely bummed! Thanks if any of you can fill me in on their policy or the types of rooms you've been given with your Priceline/Hotwire win! Jen
Bid several times for a 3* and then clicked on "2 Star Moderate Plus" and realized that those hotels would be fine. Bid $52, taxes and fees $12.80, Total cost $64.80 Quality Inn and Suites 5410 N. Granite Lane Sioux Falls, South Dakota 57107 605-336-1900
Courtyard by Marriott Sioux Falls 4300 West Empire Place Sioux Falls, SD 57116 ph 605-444-4300 Started bidding for 3 stars at $36 and bid daily until I got to $47. I researched booking directly and realized the 2.5 stars was fine for what we needed. Finally bid $52 for 2.5 stars and won. Room price $52 Taxes and fees $12.80 Total cost for one room $64.80.
I wondered if anyone could identify a hotwire hotel It's 2 stars, $56 Amenities listed are: shuttle continental (or full) breakfast exercise equip. business center laundry facilities High speed internet Thanks for any help you can give!
Booked for 4/2 - 4/3, 2 adults-2 kids. 2 rooms 3* Embassy Suites Covington Riverfront $59.00 each room - $137.89 w/tax ($68.95 each) Amenities: >Suite >Complimentary Breakfast >Fitness Center >Pool(s) >Restaurant(s) >Business Center >Laundry Facilities >High-speed Internet Access >Golf Nearby When I first started researching and making plans, this hotel was not on the Hotwire list. I waited a few days and re-checked and it was on there. I'm so happy to have had the help of Better Bidding! Thanks! Used the Betterbidding HOTWIRE link.
I guess patience pays off! I waited a few days while I decided what I wanted to do and when I re-checked this morning, it was listed! I got the room through the HOTWIRE link on this site and got the Embassy Suites for $59. I'll re-post my win! Thanks for all the help!
I've thought about it and since I'm pretty set on Embassy Suites. I'm traveling with 4 kids and by the time I factor in paying for breakfast I think it might be worth just booking with them direct. I think this might be the first time I've booked without Priceline / Hotwire in 5 years!
I was particularly interested in the breakfast at the Embassy Suites... You don't think they would leave "suites" off it it's ES do you? I can't imagine that any of these would be the hotel I want without that listing... :)
I'm trying to find the great deal that others found for the Embassy Suites in Covington, KY. Other posts have said they saw "suites" listed under the amenities, but I can't seem to find any hotels listed as suites. I see one 3*(Cincinnati River Front Hotel) for $77 and I see a second 3* listed for $54 (Cincinnati Intl Airport CVG - Florence area Hotel.) Any guesses which one might be the Embassy Suites? I know there's no guarantee, but so many other people have had luck getting the Embassy Suites, that I'm crossing my fingers that I'll get it, too! Doesn't seem like people are getting Embassy Suites with Priceline. Thanks for any help you can give!
I was bidding with $20 bonus cash that I earned through Priceline, so all of my bids were the amount listed plus the $20. First bid for a 3 star of $31 ($51 including bonus cash) in Bloomington, IN was rejected. Changed my location to Columbus, IN. I got the price of $35 (plus $20 bonus cash) for a 3-star hotel room. Courtyard by Marriott Columbus 3888 Mimosa Drive Columbus, IN 47201 Check-In Date: Thurs, Jul 23, 2009 Check-Out Date: Fri., Jul 24, 2009 Offer Price: $35.00 (plus $20 Priceline bonus cash reward) Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 1 Subtotal: $35.00 Taxes and Service Fees: $14.39 Total Charges: $49.39
I won't be able to find exact details for the Hampton Inn in Jasper, IN. It's been to long since I won it through Priceline. However, for those that read through these posts, I can say that we have stayed there in the past through Priceline for around $60 in the summer. Hope that's helpful!
I wanted to add to this post that Priceline does have a low price guarantee: If, after booking any of these travel products, you find a better published price online for the exact same product and itinerary within 24 hours, give us a call and we'll refund you 100% of the difference if you qualify. And I'm not done - I'll also throw in a coupon for $50 off your next booking of a 2-nights or longer Priceline Vacation Package (see coupon details). Special discounts and memberships excluded. But, my lower price would have come through my AAA membership, so I'm out of luck. I won't give up on PRICELINE, but this one was a disappointment.
:) The sad story of trying to find a hotel to stay in when we go to Holiday World in Santa Claus, IN: I started bidding at $25 and bid it up in $5 (or so) increments over time. I was finally up to $59. In my opinion, this price on PRICELINE is way, WAY too high for a 2 star hotel, (I am staying at a 4* in downtown Chicago this week for $62!!) but because it's so close to Holiday World, sometimes we have to go a little higher. However, I had searched and found my usual hotel (the Hampton Inn in Jasper) was $98 for the night, so I decided to go for the deal. I bid the $59 and received a message that if I raised by my by $17 ($74) they could get me a room. It was still cheaper than the $98 I was planning to pay so I did it. I got my hotel. It's the Days Inn 272 Brucke Strasse Jasper, IN 47546 US With taxes, I'm $93.33. I went to the Days Inn website and found that I could have purchased a room from them directly for $89.70. I'm ok with having to stay at a different hotel (that's the deal when you go with Priceline) but I'm not ok with having to pay MORE through PRICELINE than with the hotel direct. What a bummer.... that is my first bad bidding experience with Priceline. I hope I'm happily surprised when I get to the hotel.
Submitted $35 for a 3 star and received a message that I could add $9 to my offer and would be given a 3 star hotel. I chose not to do that because I really wasn't thrilled about the $35 to begin with. So, I tried again with $35 for a 2.5*.... Rejected. Tried one last time and changed from $35 to $31 for a 2*. It was accepted for the Signature Inn, Lafayette. Signature Inn 4620 State Road 26 East Lafayette, IN 47905 765-447-4142 Price accepted $31 plus $11.03 (tax), total $42.03. 4 miles from the Amtrak station which was the goal!!
