I hope this is the correct place to post my questions.....if not, please move this: Should have booked last week when Hotwire had a 4* hotel I THINK is the one I'd prefer in Amsterdam East for $79 per each of the 5 nights I need in July beginning 6 July .....the amenities match anyway and ID info on Better Bidding makes me relatively confident that it is THE ONE. Anyway, we went away for the weekend and figured I'd book when we returned......how wrong I was! Now what looks like the same hotel is going for $99 per night for each of the 5 nights OR if I split the dates, a room goes for $102 the first night and $79 per night for each of the remaining 4 nights. If I split the booking, I save about $77. Is this a good strategy? I mean, will I have to check out and check back in? How likely will I have to change rooms? I sound naive even to myself......but then, I AM! Boy, lesson learned here.....CARPE DIEM! Thanks for your help.
