Palma Ceia 65 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I will be staying there Jan 19 to 23, 4 nightsMaybe next time I should proof read and make sure I don't leave out any details. My winning bid of $75 wasfor the Whitney Wyndham in the downtown district. I also have a question for you all. In the hotel amenities,it states that a free airport shuttle is provided and when I called the hotel they said the only shuttle that isavailable is the one at the airport, which we have to pay for. Does anyone know if Priceline will make any adjustment or credit for this obvious misrepresentation? Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Thanks for the follow-up.I don't know of any Downtown hotels that provide a free airport shuttle, and searching PRICELINE now for 'New Orleans' and select DOWNTOWN i don't see anything indicating a free airport shuttle... exactly where on the PRICELINE website did you see this information?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Palma Ceia 65 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 On my itinerary it shows a picture of the hotel and right below it are 3 links which represent Hotel details, more photos and amenities. I clicked on the amenities and it shows 24 hour security, Fax, conference facilities, gym and FREE AIRPORT SHUTTLE. I'm going to write Priceline and see what they tell me. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Thank you for the follow-up. If there is a detail that definitely shows free airport shuttle on the itinerary, I would contact PRICELINE and see what they say. Link to comment
