mtx Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Looking for a deal from Dec 7-9 for 2 nights in Pittsburgh. We will be mostly touring the downtown area and catching the NFL game on Sunday.

Romelle Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 Where is this HOTWIRE place?North Hills area hotel 3* for $76 starting Dec 7-9Only 4-6 miles from the cityWhich hotel is this??Could you post the amenities shown for the deal? Having them is a necessary part of the identification process.RomellePS - the 3* I'm seeing right now is $78? In other cities I have noticed Hotwire slightly raising prices on the weekend and dropping them back down during the week. That may account for the rate difference. Or it could be a different hotel.

mtx Posted December 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Checked Priceline Express Deals and also saw this:3 Star Hotel in Pittsburgh North Area for $70/nightWe've negotiated an exclusive Express Deal price of just $70 a night for a 3 star in the Pittsburgh North Area.Is this the same as the North Hills area hotel from Hotwire @ $76???

thereuare Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 North Hills area hotel Back to search resultsHow do our star ratings work?Super savings†CAD76.98Please change the drop down menu on the top right of HOTWIRE's page to United States and the currency downdown to US Dollars. Then continue to search HOTWIRE and post to the board in US Dollars so that rates are consistent and not subject to interpretation due to future currency fluctuation. Once you're ready to purchase simply change the drop down menu to whatever currency you'd like to use and complete your purchase.Any suggestions on what to do with Priceline????????If your next step is to bid on PRICELINE up to your $70 budget let's try that first before trying to identify multiple HOTWIRE properties... is PRICELINE up to your budget your next step?2-star Hotel in Greentree - Parkway CenterThis property is 2* rated (lower than you've already bid), more expensive then you have already tried for 3* hotels, and has a 1.0/5.0 Tripadvisor rating... is this something you would really be interested in?? Checked Priceline Express Deals and also saw this:3 Star Hotel in Pittsburgh North Area for $70/nightIt appears that you have not yet bid more than $60 on PRICELINE, nor have you yet bid the Pittsburgh North zone (only the North Shore-Stadiums zone)... is this an area you're now considering? Do you want to first bid up to your $70 limit in the previous zones you have tried? If this zone is now acceptable do you want to first try bidding this area for a lower price?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

mtx Posted December 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I am finished with Priceline. It's obvious I'm not going to get anything unless I bid $85+. I want to spend around $180 for 2 nights or less but it doesn't seem possible. Can you please identify those Hotwire ones for me??? Link to comment
