Hi Thereuare, Should the title of the post not be changed to include the $32 price - I think $34 was a typo?

Used the Betterbidding HOTWIRE link to book the Renaissance St. Louis Airport 9801 Natural Bridge Road, Saint Louis,MO,63134 (314) 429-1100 Amenities: Airport Shuttle Smoke Free Rooms Fitness Center Restaurant(s) High-Speed Internet Access Rate per night: $87.00 Nights: 1 Rooms: 1 Tax recovery charges & fees: $21.21 Subtotal: $108.21 Check-in Mon, May 9, 2011, 3:00 PM Check-out Tue, May 10, 2011, 12:00 PM

Got this property on the first bid for $37. 2 rooms, subtotal $74, taxes and fees 16.84, Total 90.84. Good reviews on Tripadvisor. Best advance rate was $84. And I used the Betterbidding PRICELINE links to start the process. Thanks Betterbidding!!

At $142 I considered this a bargain. I don't know what's going on this weekend in Boston, but I see prices of hotels around there for $250 and up. Amenities: Complimentary Breakfast Fitness Center Restaurant(s) Good reviews on Tripadvisor, and thanks to BetterBidding I knew what I was getting beforehand. I used the HOTWIRE link to make my purchase too. Thanks again BetterBidding!

The dreaded "Priceline upgrade" is one reason I have stopped using PRICELINE for the most part and gravitated to HOTWIRE. Thanks to BetterBidding, I pretty much know which hotel I will be in with HOTWIRE, and most surprises are thus eliminated. I hope your trip works out for you OK. I see that the 4pts hotel has a 24 hour shuttle to the airport so that may be just fine.

Just spoke with Linda (3rd shift) at the hotel who put me in the more desirable MARINA tower. Thank you Linda. According to all reviews you want to be in the Marina tower not the Bay tower. Also gave her my SPG number first (for "incidentals") hoping this meant something...

My booking at the Sheraton Marina was for 2 people, so that may account for the difference. I wish Hotel Indigo had been available on HOTWIRE for my 5 nights, but was not. You are lucky to have gotten it for $122 list price is $178. It has much better reviews than the Sheraton, as I found out later the Sheraton is really two hotels, and new one and an old one, and guess where they stick the Hotwire guests. Also you had asked if there were conventions in town. The ASA convention is from 10-15 to 10-20-2010 and is booking through about 10 hotels downtown near the convention center.

Can you change this - the listed Hotwire price was 136, and with bed choice it was raised to 149. I think you should list 136 as the price so people can see what was actually posted. Joe

Yes, list price for the 2 double beds is $279!! even with the bed choice it is still a bargain. Thank you Better Bidding!!

Will you please update this post - it seems that $258 was the total price paid, not the per diem rate (daily rate). What was your daily rate?

:) Due to the huge east coast snowstorm of Dec. 19, 2009 I was able to get a refund of my Hotwire purchase which is posted here: Hotwire Omni Newport News I called Hotwire customer service and told the very nice clerk that I was snowbound in Charlottesville VA - and could not drive to Newport News VA. She was extremely helpful. She said they had a list of cities where they were granting refunds. She could not find Newport News on her list for some reason, so she looked at the Charlottesville news headlines and found out about the severe winter storm, and granted the refund. I have the feeling she went out of her way to make this effort and is to be commended. BTW the Newport News rooms had been paid for mostly with HotDollars (Hotwire Credit) which is good for one year and was refunded back to my Hotwire account, and partially in cash, which was refunded to my credit card. The funny part is that the Hotdollars I earned were from a refund from ANOTHER Hotwire episode where HW decided to refund my entire stay in London in Dec. 2008 (see Hotwire London Crowne Plaza). Those refunded HotDollars were good til Jan 2009 and the refunded dollars are now good til Dec. 2010, so I got almost an extra year out of them!
