This was a review I posted on Tripadvisor before I began using BetterBidding. Id like to point out again the service was GREAT. It takes a lot to impress me and ive stayed at many 5-Diamond rated properties and this one was right on par with the best of them. I paid less then $100 a night from their site and Kayak. Very Nice Hotel With Great Rates & 5-Diamond Level Service!

This is a review I posted on TripAdvisor. Ive stayed here a few times and all have been good experiences. GREAT HOTEL IN DALLAS AND BEST PRICE BY FAR FOR THE QUALITY!

This is a review I posted on TripAdvisor before I began using Betterbidding. BEST PLACE IN TALLAHASSEE, SOLID 3-STARS!

I stayed at this hotel over the New Years weekend. This was my 2nd time using Hotwire and Betterbidding. I agreed on Hotwires Survey with this being a 3* hotel. I posted this on TripAdvisor. Solid 3-Star Hotel, Unique Design, Good Service, GREAT Prices!

Here is a review for this hotel I posted on TripAdvisor. I stayed here before I began using BetterBidding. NICE HOTEL WITH GOOD PRICING BUT NOT QUITE 4 STAR HARD PRODUCT

Here is a review I did on the hotel for Tripadvisor before I started using Betterbidding. BEST PLACE IN MIAMI TO STAY FOR THE MONEY, SOLID 4 DIAMOND & DIRT CHEAP!

This is a review I posted on TripAdvisor. I stayed at this hotel before I began using betterbidding. The price I got was not spectacular but better hten they offer most weekends and was a good deal compared to other places the weekend I visited. GREAT HOTEL, SOLID 4 STARS, NOT WORTH MORE THEN $150 A NIGHT THOUGH!

I agree with the OP most of the Orlando hotel ratings for both priceline and hotwire are definitely inflated. This hotel is a 4* and fitting with their other cities id say it deserves a 3.5* at best, service makes it hard to even achieve that. Sad to see this hotel hasnt changed really as its been coming up a lot in my search as I plan to visit Orlando for a weekend later this month with the girlfriend. I stayed here a while back before I used priceline and hotwire, but got a good deal on the room still. Here is my TripAdvisor review: PRETTY GOOD HOTEL BUT DONT COUNT ON MUCH SERVICE!

Aaron, I think the heading is incorrect. The OP said he paid $48 per night, i think you accidentally put $93 bc the 2night total was $96. hit the report button to helpyou guys out.

If those are indeed the complete amenities listed im guessing its the Omni Orlando Resort. I just did a search for my stay there from 2/12-2/15 and this is the hotel that came up for me at a rate of $91 a night. With a Kayak rate of $118 I dont think its a super great discount. Im not an expert though :) I used to use only HOTWIRE but just did my first Priceline try yesterday and plan to use it again for certain stays. If you dont mind risking getting this hotel or the Gaylord Resort which also has good reviews id try PRICELINE, you could probably save another $20 or $30 off a night! Being those are the only 2 chances (possible there are more now but not on the list and this is a popular destination) you have a great shot at the Omni and either way will end up with somewhere nice. With prices that cheap maybe peyton will pay :)

John you are correct, i had not checked the website before I had just called them and they said self parking was $15. I just now called back and the manager said the employee I spoke with last week must have been misinformed as they do not charge for self parking however the guest has all liability for their vehicle. The valet parking the hotel is responsible for but they are in the same garage thats part of the hotel. Being from this area unless you dont use common sense id have no worry of leaving my car in the garage. lol I guess that gives me a reason to give them a shot next time, no big deal though. Thanks for pointing this out!

Tampa: Airport South & Westshore Area 1/28/2011-1/31/2011 Marriott Westshore 3.5* $50 Per Night Admin please move this to priceline thread and calendar of wins! Ok guys i just completed my first priceline experience. As I posted before I was waiting for my girlfriend to decide if we could stay Sunday night or not depending if she needed to be at work. Well we ended up deciding to have a more relaxed weekend here, then I learned many more friends were attending the even in Tampa. So i said what the hell and she quickly joined. After checking Hotwire one last time I noticed the Intercontinental in this area had plummeted to $77 a night, good deal but its really not that great of a hotel and they get you for $20 parking per night (Renaissance has very safe and ample free parking!) and we will have 2 cars, and a 3rd possibly on one day when we have people visit us. Normally I dont worry about parking charges as long as its good quality parking but when the hotel isnt any more special really then others near by in the 3.5* rating and they offer free parking thats just as good, its something to consider! The 3.5* on Hotwire for $66 or so was not identifiable by myself or the board and Im not very adventuresome so I decided I didnt want to risk ending up somewhere I didnt like. On the priceline list I was fine with all the hotels listed under the areas and categories I began to bid on. I was also tempted to try my luck at the downtown zone as those 3.5*s are all decent and the event we are going to is downtown. However those hotels are asking much more $$$ and also have parking charges and im not sure of the quality of the parking so I decided id rather just pay more for a cab and still probably come out better. Beginning with the previous 4* I began bidding and re bidding starting at $25 :) lol all the way to $40 until i had discipline and reminded myself of those parking charges. I then started out at $35 and re-bidding in $5 increments to $50. This hotel on Kayak was going for $130 a night, it was actually more expensive then other hotels in the same rating and zone on priceline. Crowne Plaza $104, Sheraton Suites $107, and Double Tree at $123, So I was quite surprised to get it but not disappointed. The only complaint seems to be smaller rooms but I wont be in the room much and its just my girlfriend and I who stay "close" anyways at night lol. Ill be sure to let you all know how the stay is, Thanks again guys!

Yellow Dog: Thanks for your help with my questions, i did indeed mistake seeing the Embessy Suites downtown as on the list Beach Bum: Thanks for your help, I noticed your large list of recent stays, very helpful! and i bet with you traveling as much as you do these sites really save you a nice amount! It looks like the Hyatt Place has been added adn the Intercontinental has disappeared from Hotwire today. As soon as my girlfriend figures out if she needs to be at work next monday (i pray tomorrow lol) I will give priceline a shot i think :) Ill let you guys know how it turns out!

Ok as many of you all know i have used hotwire many times and pretty much avoided priceline. I think i might be ready to give priceline a try for an upcoming weekend trip (still not sure of my dates) but have the following questions: Using the betterbidding priceline hotel list and PRICELINE link i logged on to priceline. 1)Priceline List for Tampa-Downtown has the Embessy Suites Listed as a 3.5*. However the normal buy it now way only lists Embessy Suites as a 3*. Does this means priceline has changed their rating of the hotel or can it be a 3* on regular buy it now and 3.5* on the name your own bid page? 2)If Priceline regular view has 3 hotels. Say Tampa-Airport Westshore with 3.5* star ratings on the "buy it now page" hotel a is $125 hotel b is $145 and hotel c is $160 then when you go to the name your own price section does that mean you are definitely bidding on hotel a? 3)If a hotel is not listed on the "buy it now" part of priceline for the dates of my stay does that mean its not available at all on the name your own price area? thanks in advance!

dont worry guys i always use the link to help support the site :) ill let you all known when my dates are firm thanks again

How were you seeing the Crowne Plaza? I didnt get it up in any of my searches. I might also end up also stayin Sunday night as well, waiting for the girlfriend to figure out her schedule lol I was afraid the hotel i was inquiring about might be a new one or one with an amenity hidden. Theres too many box hotels i dont like in the area that could fall into that rating so Im not being very brave on random hotels lol. I do like the Intercontinental the only thing thats holding me back is ill have 2 cars parked there for 2 or 3 nights, not a huge deal but Crowne Plaza, and some of the others that are nearly as nice have free parking which is a plus. I did see the Chase suites for around $50 a night which seem very nice at that rate but the location is horrible to me (im from south tampa), there is nothing out that way and its a 15 minute drive past the others. While we are there we will probably utilize cab friday and/or saturday night to the downtown area for drinks with friends etc so the closer the better. Thanks guys!

As The Topic says this one has me tripped up I believe the 4* for $88 is the intercontinental Im trying to figure out this 3.5* in the same area for $66. Full amenities include Fitness Center, Pools, Restaurant, & High Speed Internet Thanks in advance guys!

Hey guys, using the HOTWIRE link i also did the 2 adult 2 kid method but that returned the boca guest suites on a hotel.com deal at $65 a night. If it was a hotel I actually liked I would have paid the difference just to be sure I got a place. I ended up going with the $53 a night deal and it was the Wyndam Garden hotel. Normally the Renaissance or Marriott isnt more then $70 or so a night so I would have picked that but right now they are in the $130 area so i definitely didnt mind trying the Wyndam. Im glad I ended up the way I did and the best rate on Kayak was $132 a night with tax vs $62.xx a night on hotwire! Thanks again for your help,ill be sure to post a review after my stay! Additionally, after i bought i re-searched the same way and again $53 and same amenities showed up however now there is not a 95% recommendation, its a not enough information to say...still the same hotel or not im not sure? Mods: please change my title to reflect the win, and add me to the calandar since I cant seem to figure out how to do it lol

Thanks Aaron! I figured it might be that one. Could it be the Spring Hill Suites, without the suite part reported? at around $125 for both nights I dont think I can go wrong with it

Hey guys, long time lurker first time poster. I need help identifying a 3* Hotel In Boca Raton FL for 1/1-1/3. The price is $53 and full amenities listed are: Smoke Free, Airport Shuttle, Pool, Restaurant, Laundry, & Internet Thanks in advance!
