Hey, thank you for the quick reply! I had looked over that list but had missed the Royal on that list. Thanks for your feedback. Question for you, about Hotwire or Priceline in general: I was referencing tripadvisor.com and read in a review of the Royal that a front desk agent made a snide comment because the client had reserved through PL. Is that often the case? Do hotel agents, do you think, look more favorably upon reservations booked through the company directly? Would they be more apt to upgrade a direct rez vs. a hotwire or Priceline rez? Just wondering and would appreciate any thoughts. Am deciding whether to do the 226 at the Royal or the 176 rate at what I'm pretty sure is Hilton Hawaiian Village. It's a factory but I love the beach there.
