  1. Was on PRICELINE EXPRESS for $88, underbid to $83 and got it. Previously got the Sheraton with the same amenities - but it should be noted their Fitness center is under construction until the end of March [?] - so they just have something temporary set up on the 2nd floor. Pets Allowed Business Center Restaurant Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities
  2. From research here/TripAdvisor it seemed highly likely to be the Wyndham. It's a great deal, but I partly took it because it says it had Airport Shuttle, as it's a long ways from the airport. Turns out the shuttle costs $75/person each way! And clearly HOTWIRE doesn't show any possibility of extra cost for that until AFTER you get the confirmation back, and then only when you click on the amenity it says "an additional charge may apply." HIGHLY DECEPTIVE! What - are the other amenities like the beach, fitness center, pool, and smoke-free rooms also "an additional charge"?? Also - the next day, the price went down another $3 - which shows that sometimes waiting improves the price, not making it worse. Here were the amenities listed on the initial display: Complimentary Free Internet Amenities Airport shuttleBeachfront hotelFitness centerOceanfront hotelPool(s)ResortRestaurant(s)Smoke-free rooms Here's what came back with the confirmation: Resort Free Internet Beachfront hotel Oceanfront hotel Airport shuttle Smoke-free rooms Fitness center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business center Internet access Golf nearby Tennis nearby Spa services Children's activities
  3. Based on PRICELINE EXPRESS, it seemed highly likely I'd get the Sheraton - which posted at PE at $84 [then when you click it said $85]. Tried $79 - $5 less than the PE $84, which usually works, but refused - so added other non-4* areas and rebid to $81 and got it. It should be noted that HOTWIRE appeared to have the same for $85, however their fees are higher so it made more sense to use PRICELINE.

  4. It said "New to Hotwire" but then once you click it said the last person got the Kona Kai - so that plus the amenities along with the specific resort fee of $18 made it a sure thing, and a good rate for the time. It had reviews as 4.5 and 90% Free Internet Resort Pet friendly Near beach Smoke-free rooms Fitness center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business center Self-service laundry Internet access Golf nearby Spa services Accessible for visually impaired Accessible for hearing impaired Accessible path of travel In-room accessibility Accessible bathroom Accessible parking Roll-in shower
  5. Underbid PE by $5 as usual and got it. Currently the only 4.5* hotel in Milwaukee, so you know what you're getting. A great deal, as it was half what their own nonrefundable rate was. Pets Allowed Business Center Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities
  6. The location option specified DFW South, and Comfort Suites as the only option - so I selected that. Yes - the address is 4940 W Airport Freeway.
  7. Started out bid at $59, but rejected - seems every time it will undercut PE price by $5, that's it. Rating 7.0 Free Parking Business Center Airport Shuttle Free Internet Free Breakfast Indoor or Outdoor Pool Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities
  8. I'm listing this as Hotwire, when in fact I did it via Expedia Secret Rate [which owns Hotwire] as the amenities/star/reviews [1000-1500 4* average reviews at TripAdvisor] were the same in both, but Expedia was $77 vs Hotwire $82. While a good rate, the standard rooms are incredibly small, with just a fullsize bed. Hotel is also listed now as 3.5*, although in the hotel lists here it shows Harbor Court as just 3* Complimentary Free Internet Amenities Business centerFitness centerPet friendlyRestaurant(s)Smoke-free rooms
  9. Price with the higher Hotwire taxes/fees was actually more than the AAA rate [or any other discount] if done direct. Hotel doesn't have very good reviews - so I wouldn't advise booking via Hotwire for this in the future. Complimentary Free breakfastFree InternetFree parking Amenities Business centerFitness centerPet friendlyPool(s)
  10. Under bid the $97 Priceline Express for what I believe is the same, and got it. Amenities listed: Pets Allowed Business Center Restaurant No Smoking Rooms/Facilities Listed rate was $175, but Kimpton direct at a Last Minute Deal for $115, and since they have fewer taxes/fees, it wasn't a big savings - but still good, but you don't get a bed choice via Priceline.
  11. Underbid PRICELINE EXPRESS $55 for 4* Downtown, thought I'd get the V [The V was available via HOTWIRE for $56] but got the Saguaro. Apparently in need of updating more than the V, but still a good deal.
  12. At long last - a bargain at a hotel that had $234 as it's lowest price on Tripadvisor. Based on the 2000+ reviews, 95% approval and indoor pool, it appeared it would be the Hilton and it was: FULL AMENITIES: Indoor pool(s), Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Spa services, Accessible for visually impaired, Accessible for hearing impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Wheelchair accessible, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking, Roll-in shower
  13. Was listed on PRICELINE EXPRESS for $60, tried bidding $50, rejected, then accepted at $55. Very clean room, accommodating and friendly front desk. Mount Vernon, VA Rated 9.0 out of 10 (or higher) Pets Allowed Free Parking Business Center Free Internet Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities
  14. While rate was good [vs $99 on AAA/senior rate online], and it predicted this hotel when clicked on, the front desk person [who claimed to be the only person on duty during the day - with no manager available] said the booking came thru as a "king accessible" and that she couldn't change to a 2 bed room, even though they considered them the same rate type without approval from Expedia. Which is utter nonsense - as if Expedia owns the local hotel. Most of the time when called in advance hotels are happy to accommodate bed types if they have them available, as this hotel said they had.

  15. Started bid at $50, rejected, added 3*, rejected, $55, rejected. added Laurel, $58 accepted. Believe same hotel with PRICELINE EXPRESS is $63. Amenities: Pets Allowed Free Parking Restaurant Free Internet Indoor or Outdoor Pool Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities Apparently they allow pets by floor - so if you don't have one, make sure you request a no-pet floor.
  16. Complimentary Free breakfastFree InternetFree parking Amenities Business centerFitness center 80% recommended This is the King of Prussia property, not the nearby Valley Forge one. Hotel starting rennovation, but no rooms completed yet. Comfortable beds. Ask for quieter side away from Turnpike.
  17. Tried to bid 95 for 4*, $85 for adding 3.5*, then went to Express to get it. A new property - looks like a good deal, they posted these amenities in advance: Free Internet (in Room) Pool Non-Smoking Gym Restaurant Business Center It also showed 8/10 rating.
  18. Complimentary Free breakfastFree Internet Amenities Pet friendlySelf-service laundry 80% Recommended There are 3 Extended Stay Americas in the same area - University Drive is one of the "recently rennovated" ones [and not specifically listed as an option here] - make sure you select the one with the highest recommendation vs the same stars/price for the other that is only 20% recommended.
  19. A good deal for this property. Here is the amenity list - what made the match impossible is that the hotel really doesn't have an airport shuttle. FULL AMENITIES: Airport shuttle, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Tennis nearby, Spa services, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible parking
  20. Those were the amenities listed for that hotel. But Priceline Express only showed "Businees Center" and "nonsmoking"
  21. In one of those weird computer things - the hotel direct said they were sold out, but Priceline Express confirmed the room. Not much of a discount [$225 vs $175] but better than nothing. Like many hotels they add on a mandatory "resort fee" - which is ridiculous, and just a scammy way for hotels to operate. This Hotel features the following amenities: Near Beach Smoke Free Rooms Fitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Laundry Facilities (self-service) High-Speed Internet Access Golf Nearby Tennis Nearby Free Parking Free Internet Roll-in shower
  22. 85% Recommended, amenities: Pet friendly Airport shuttle Smoke-free rooms Fitness center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business center Self-service laundry Internet access
  23. Amenities: pets, business/fitness center, restaurant, free internet Finally - a great buy for this well-reviewed property.
  24. It's primary area is Geneseo, but it's really Lakeville, NY - a switch PRICELINE doesn't do, separating the 2 areas out. Once again HOTWIRE proves they are nearly as high if not higher than what you can obtain direct - the total of $76 was the same as any other website [without any other discount] to book the property direct. I thought it might give the Quality Inn Geneseo [like I think Priceline would have] but alas Amenities were just free parking and smoke free rooms and restaurant. Basically, if it's HOTWIRE, I find it's usually not worth the hassle and additional restrictions. .
