  2. This is the same weekend that the Portland Marathon is going on. My preference was to stay Downtown, but from this hotel it is a short free Max ride to downtown for my run. Downtown has really limited availability for this weekend. I started by bidding $55 on a 3* in DT, I was rejected. I then bid $61 on a 3* in the Convention Center - Lloyd Center area, & I was rejected again. I then added the South Waterfront District & bid $66, and this bid was accepted. The best Hotwire could do was a 3* in the same area for $75, but I will not use them anymore and would encourage others here to boycott Hotwire due to their manipulating practices. You can read here about my last experience with HOTWIRE I did not remember to use the link here to PRICELINE, but will try and remember next time. My bad.
  3. Sorry, I forgot to use the links above to HOTWIRE this time. Hotwire 2 star property with these amenities: Free breakfast Fitness Pool Laundry High speed internet Check in Sept 16 Check out Sept 18 Hotwire rate $80/night Fees & taxes $25.50 Total $185.50 Via Days Inn website: $84/night Taxes $16.80 Total $184.80 I think I got taken by Hotwire because you book on Hotwire to save money. I am paying more overall to use Hotwire. I have contacted Hotwire to cancel, they refused. I talked to a supervisor, and he refused to help me. I have talked to people at Wyndham and they don't care. Any advice? I think that Hotwire basing their guarantee on the room rate only allows them to manipulate what they charge for taxes and fees. Plus the savings listed on their website advertise up to 50% savings. This is less than 5%. I saw a quote from Hotwire's CEO: If you really care about price, our prices are more discounted than the hotel's website itself. Please advise me what I may do about this booking. This episode has left me never wanting to do business with Hotwire again. If you advice is I took a risk, bummer, I already realize that. As you can see from my posts here, I am not a Hotwire newby. I am just shocked at the paltry discount. If this is how Hotwire is going to play the game, then I will never book with them again, and I am telling EVERYONE I know what a ripoff Hotwire is.
  4. Yes, I went through the HOTWIRE link at the top of the page. No, this was not on the list on San Jose South hotels, so it can now be added. These are the amenities: Fitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) High-Speed Internet Access Spa Services The cheapest rate for three nights with tax was $378.54 ($111/night without tax). With tax I am paying $270 total.
  5. Confirmed that this is the Hotel Deca in this thread: Hotel Deca
  6. A new hotel to add to the list, though it was correctly identified in this thread: Hotel Deca Listed amenities: Fitness Center Restaurant(s) Business Center High Speed Internet Access Tripadvisor.com says it is #56 in Seattle. We will see. 3 1/2 star property for $65.00 seems reasonable to me. Booking directly ranged from $98-129/night.
  7. I was on the Westin's website, and this special condition popped up: The Westin Seattle Special Conditions Pool Closure May 3- 31, 2009 Please be advised that from May 3 through May 31, 2009, the hotel pool and whirlpool will be closed for repairs. Please contact the front desk manager for alternate swimming arrangements.
  8. Just: Seattle (Bellevue North - Redmond). I did a search for early May 2009, and Bellevue was divided as follows: Downtown Bellevue Area 3.5 star with smoke free rooms, fitness center, restaurant, business center and high speed internet 3 star with fitness center, pool, restaurant, and high speed internet and Bellevue Eastgate - Factoria - Crossroads 3.5 star with smoke free rooms, complimentary breakfast, fitness center, pool, restaurant, business center, laundry and high speed internet 2 star with complimentary breakfast, restaurant, laundry and tennis The current Hotwire list says: Seattle (Bellevue North - Redmond) Do anyone have any advice?
  9. I decided to see if I could save a little bit more money staying in Medford this time. This hotel is $90/night on redlion.com, and $71/night on HOTWIRE. My first bid was for $47/night. Priceline rejected it, and said if I added $13.00 to my bid, I could rebid immediately. I passed, and added a free rebidding zone of Grants Pass and a bid of $48/night. Rejected. I added Ashland, since I would be just as happy staying there for that price, and a bid of $49/night. Success. Thanks for the site. I used the PRICELINE link to make my bids.
  10. Thanks for the site. I used the PRICELINE link here. My goal was to stay in Ashland, but I put down three bids for Ashland, and each was rejected. This was my first bid for a hotel in Medford. Hotwire had the same hotel for $69.00/night. To book directly would cost $90.00/night.
  11. No amenities were listed, and I tried to use the HOTWIRE link here, but Hotwire kept giving me errors. I doubt that this hotel is really 2*, but we will find out. This is the old Shanico Inn, and an Elmer's Pancake House is close by.
  12. Marriott Portland Downtown Waterfront Downtown Portland 1401 Sw Naito Parkway Portland, Oregon 97201 I used the PRICELINE link on the site. I am going to a show and this is a nice way to end the evening. The lowest price on the Marriott website is $151.00. I notice that some people have won this as a three star property, but Priceline said that it is now a 3 1/2 star. So, if this hotel is your goal. please be aware of that.
  13. Here is an article on the renovation: Hotel Modera I think it would be a nice place to stay if you were attending a show at the Keller (Civic) Auditorium.
  14. A new hotel for the list: Country Inn Suites Tempe Az 1660 W Elliot Rd Tempe, Arizona 85284 (480) 345-8585 Complimentary breakfast Pool High speed internet access I checked their website, and the cheapest rate was $125.00/night. I used the HOTWIRE link on the homepage.
  15. Tried to spend the night in Eugene, but the Ucks have their graduation this weekend. So I kept on trucking and ended up here: Travelodge Roseburg 2-star 315 West Harvard Roseburg, Oregon 97470 I used the PRICELINE link on the homepage. Thanks for providing this website.
  16. Another new property: Has the following amenities: Fitness Center Pool Restaurant Business center Laundry High speed internet The Liaison Capitol Hill - An Affinia Hotel 415 New Jersey Avenue, NW Washington, District of Columbia 20001 (202) 638-1616 I did not go through the HOTWIRE link on the site, sorry, but I did for another purchase I made yesterday, but have not written up yet. The lowest rates booking directly were: First night $252, second night $342
  17. A friend just booked this trip. The amenities were as follows: Fitness Center Pool Restaurant High Speed Internet Access If booked directly, the rate is $149-179/night, from the hilton.com website. Parking is $15.00/day self park, $20.00/valet.
  18. Thanks again for all of the input. I was going to be in Portland for the weekend, and wanted to stay in that part of town. My plans changed though.
  19. Thanks for all of the input. I have not dedcided what to do. If it is the Silver Cloud, the rack rate is $149. The AAA discounted rate is $116. I am holding out hope that rates drop a bit more before the weekend. Even the Jupiter is $75/night for these dates, which is a discount, it is just what I am used to paying for a 4* property.
  20. Thanks for the research. I am not sure about it being the Holiday Inn Express, because on on Holiday Inn Express' website, they list an indoor pool, and no pool is listed for the property on Hotwire, if that means anything. If it is the Holiday Inn, the rate their is $175.00/night for that weekend. I will kindly effort to use the links if I make the reservation.
  21. Hotwire has set up a new area: Northwest Portland - Goose Hollow They have the following hotel listed: 3-star hotel It has these amenities: Complimentary Breakfast <amenity names only please... not descriptions> Fitness Center Guests have access to exercise equipment; an additional charge may apply. Business Center Guests have access to business equipment and services; an additional charge may apply. Laundry Facilities <amenity names only please... not descriptions> High-speed Internet Access Guestrooms are equipped with high-speed Internet access; an extra charge may apply. The rate is $114/night for a stay from 2/29/08 - 3/1/08 It may be this place: Inn at Northrup Station Can anyone please provide further insight? Or it could be this place, the former Hotel Mallory It looks to be just inside the border of this new area distinction by Hotwire.
  22. This price was for a room for three adults and one child. For the same room for two adults, the rate was $54.00 a night. The amenities now are as follows: Smoke Free Rooms Pool(s) Business Center Fitness Center Restaurant(s) High-speed Internet Access So Tennis has been replaced as amenity, for Smoke Free Rooms. The cheapest room at this hotel is $152.00/night, so the HOTWIRE rate is a significant savings. Thanks for the website.
