With less competition in the area, they can charge more.
I have checked numerous dates for this hotel on HOTWIRE and it never seems to come up,this looks like a very difficult hotel to get.

Crowne Plaza only gets better with age. This Houston Hotel was built in 1983 as a Crowne Plaza and re-flagged as the Holiday Inn during the Mid-80
Radisson Hill Country Resort & Spa
Very small pool area
well,,, I tried for the Austin South Omni , got moldy Austin Hilton Airport instead, when I check in im asking for a non-moldy room :) .... Not thrilled with this win, I felt it was a dump when I stayed a few months ago, oh well, this is the nature of priceline, win some lose some, hopefully they have at least one room without mold.
I called Hilton Guest assistance , 800 # let them know of the mold problem, since Im a priceline customer im sure they wont rush out to buy tilex or anything. Last time I stayed there called front desk about the problem, teenage girl at front desk answered and when I told her about the mold she said.." like...ummm really? like...thats not too good huh?"
sooooo no offer to change rooms with less mold ..or like...nothing ya know? ahh well.

Needed two nights in Austin 04/21/ 04/22 Tried many times over a few days with both nights and was denied up to 75.00 in Airport, Downtown and North areas for 3* and 4 * I dropped the Saturday, went for just Sunday and was accepted at Omni Southpark for 48.00 Glad I didn't receive the Austin Hilton airport, got a win there last time and was not clean, mold problems in the bathroom among other problems. (Needs refurb) Anyway, looks like the Saturday night check in was a problem, I will try up until my departure date to try and win something else for Saturday, hopefully same hotel, if not no big deal. Rather stay downtown but haven't seen any *4 accepted for less then 85 , 95 dollar range if your lucky, bit more then I want to spend.

geeze, taxes are as much as the car.
I have decided not to book this hotel due to reviews on this property .
I have stayed at both, bottom line is Sheraton has better beach, Hyatt better service. Rooms about the same although Hyatt's might have been a bit bigger. I liked them both. Self parking at Hyatt is horrible, not enough spaces. Sheraton parking , plenty of spaces but you park far from your room. Hyatt has much better pool, but not much of a beach. These are both nice hotels, but 100 more for Hyatt is a bit much. You will enjoy either one, but if being close to a nice beach matters, go with Sheraton.
Just got back, seems to be a mold problem at this hotel, I wont stay here again until problem dealt with.
Thanks for your help

I started at 48.00 thinking would win Autin Omni South, didnt work out as planned , got Hilton at 50.00
The Rodeo is going on, will be tough to get a good room at low rates this time of the year, sorry
Took a chance and booked it, didnt want to lose that price. I might have done better with priceline, but bid up to 75.00 for a *3 and didnt get a hit. Im sure the *4 Hilton might have been avalible for 100.00 but didnt want to pay that much.

Was wondering if this maybe be the 3* Capitol Place Hotel Austin
Amenities: Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Tennis, Business which is now a Hilton Garden Inn
or maybe 3.5* Crowne Plaza has been downgraded?
Cool , maybe i will be next! Would enjoy a stay here. I looked for the wins but didnt see any on this hotel yet. Oh well.
The Hyatt hotel was recently sold to Loews. They no longer have a casino or lounge. Maybe trying for the family business Vegas is starting to turn away from. Not sure if they will continue with priceline, I havent seen the Loews brand hotel on priceline before but anything is possible .
The very fact that this hotel is "Under MAJOR Construction with amenities unavailable" leads me to believe priceline should not use this hotel at this time. Use of this hotel on priceline should be suspened. This is not the first case of priceline accepting bids on a hotel , or (keeping it at resort or *4 status) when the hotel has pool closed, and/or major construction going on.
Im trying to rent a vehicle myself, and got the same message. I waited until the 4th day and it seemed to accept my bidding. Just give it another day. I did notice however the prices for cars right now are high. I did better with a coupon code. I have a car on hold and contiune to bid until the day I rent , that way I still have a car if the bidding falls through. With coupon code I recived one day free which is about 28.00 off,(midsize) priceline has not come close to accepting any bids near the price I recived thorugh rental car website with coupon.
Just simply scroll down to near bottom of page to Other Deals, and you will see Airfare. This might help you.
Details? Umm, what kind of details would you like? My explanation of what transpired is pretty much straight forward and self explanatory but I would gladly give you more details if desired. I'm just not sure what I can add to this.
Well, after a round of calls to Continental, they tried to make it right. I understand their point of view, but I explained to them I was promised things at the airport and later was told a different story. We have reached a compromise that I feel is fair for both parties. I will now continue to fly Continental and although I didn't appreciate the run around and feel they could have made it right the first time, they did however try to make it right in the end :)

I have recently seen Loews for as low as 93.00 for certain dates on Hotwire.
I have been to both resorts and prefer JW by far; it
