I've bid up to $195/night with no success. The Express deal for $208/night is still there. Are hotels more likely to accept closer to the date? I still have a month before the checkin date.

There's a PRICELINE EXPRESS deal for $207 for a 3* Kahului Area Hotel on March 25-26. No amenities listed. It just says "Save 22% or more" What hotel might this be? The Priceline list does not have any 3* hotels. There is also a name your price option for the Kahului area for 3*. Would these likely be the same hotel?

We ended up staying with a friend.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, the option disappeared overnight.

I am trying to identify the Boutique 5* Portland Downtown Hotel on Hotwire available on 7/13 for $267/night. Amenties listed are: -Free Internet -Fitness Center -Pet Friendly -Restaurants -Boutique Hotel -Business Center -Smoke Free Rooms -Self service laundry The Nines is the only hotel listed on the pinned list but it doesn't say anything about being a boutique hotel. Any ideas which one this is?

My alternate plans (referenced in my previous thread) did not work out, so I tried Priceline again. I got the 4* Marriott New York Downtown in Downtown - Financial District for $152/night+tax. Looks like an OK hotel, but I was hoping for something a little more uptown. I guess that's the luck of the draw with Priceline!

I tried making a PRICELINE booking but was unsuccessful. I started bidding at $120 and went all the way to $150 for 4* nearly everywhere in Manhattan. At this point, I'm going to use my backup hotel. Thanks for the HOTWIRE and PRICELINE assistance, but unfortunately those did not work out for this trip!

Done.

I ended up staying in a B&B that my friend recommended. It was called Zen Trastevere and it was actually a fanstastic B&B... highly recommended.

I'm hoping the board can help me ID the following few hotels that I'm considering: 3* Midtown Central Hotel $191 -Free Internet, Fitness Center, Pool, Restaurant, High-Speed Internet Access -Is this the Holiday Inn Midtown? I tried looking up the retail price on Hotels.com for my dates, but it says that the hotel is fully booked. 3* Chelsea - MSG hotel $216 -Free Internet, Fitness Center, Business Center, High-Speed Internet Access -Is this Hilton Garden Inn or Holiday Inn 6th Ave? 3* Midtown - East $224 -Free Internet, Business Center, Restaurant, Smoke Free Room, High-Speed Internet Access -Is this Best Western Hospitality House? 3.5* Midtown Central $237 -Free Internet, Smoke Free Rooms, Fitness Center, Restaurant, Business Center, High-Speed Internet Access -Doesn't seem to fit any of the ones on the list exactly. Based on this, which hotel do you think I should pick? It's my first time to NY. I also have an option of staying at the Cassa Residences & Hotel for $200/night, but it is in a room with a double bed and I'd prefer a bigger bed if at all possible! It seems like that one is listed as a 4* in the Hotwire hotel list. Would Priceline be a better option for me? I was hoping to stay under $225/night if at all possible. It seems like NYC is pricey this time of year. I clicked on the HOTWIRE links on the board to get my search started.

Thank you for your response. I think I'm going to try Priceline and if I can't get a good price, then I did get a friend's recommendation for a B&B that has a reasonable rate. Rome is an expensive city!!!

Hello, I've checked the Hotwire hotel lists but I don't see anything for the 5* category in Rome Central or 3* category in Vatican, and those are the options that are currently available for my dates. Any ideas on what hotels these might be? Rome Central 5* $217/night Amenities: Internet Vatican City area hotel 3* $109/night Amenities: Restaurant, Internet I've used the HOTWIRE links from this site for searching. Thanks in advance!

Got the Hilton for $73, which isn't bad. But the going rate is only $89, so its not an amazing deal either.

Ok... I clicked on the HOTWIRE link and the price has actually gone down a bit! Do you think its the Crowne Plaza hotel or something else?

I am travelling 8/25-8/29 and I would like to stay in the Burlingame area. Can you please help identify this hotel: 3.5* Airport Shuttle Fitness Center Restaurant Business Center High Speed Internet Golf Nearby Is this the Crowne Plaza hotel? Thank you!

Accepted at $68 after multiple times bidding. 7/30-8/2
