yellowdog Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I think there may be more amenities associated with this property. If you go back to HOTWIRE and click this offer to get to the details page, then on the details page click the 'See all' link under the amenities, do you see more than what you've posted above?Don't you see any accessible amenities?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your purchases and searches.Yellowdog.

thereuare Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 If you haven't yet, please start by reading your messages.I tried searching your dates for 2adults/0children and i'm seeing rates for the 4* hotels in the Waikiki Beach lower then what you've been posting above (i haven't even compared the amenities yet but the difference in occupancy may be the reason for the discrepency between what you're seeing vs. what others are seeing)... are you searching for more than one room or something other than the default 2adults/0children?Also, make sure that from the initial search page you're not just looking at the 'See more' link when you hover your mouse over the link... you need to click the offer, then on the next page click the 'See all amenities' link.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

spuddy9595 Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Hi,from the search page I only have it set to 2 adults, 0 children, 1 room..then I click Waikiki Beach under the area selection, 4 star and up. From this there are only 2 selections for Waikiki Beach, one for $1041 4* and one for $2733 5* for the dates above ( 12/9/13 - 18/9/13)I even changed the currency from AUS to USD but the funny thing is the amount actually doesnt change on the screen, it is still listed at $174/night (total $1041).I can see what you mean from hovering over the facilities on the search page, I didnt do that. I click on details to see deal in its entirety , under facilities I clicked "show all facilities" and I still only get the exact same thing as before except when i copy and paste the screen I actually get all these extra things that I cant physically see on the screen, any ideas???

thereuare Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 This matches previous reports for the Hilton Waikiki Beach so that would be my best guess for this one.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases. (and please purchase on the US site... you can change the currency to AUD if you'd like, but please remain on the US site)Good luck and let us know how it goes.

spuddy9595 Posted June 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Ok thanks for your help, not sure if I want to do a hot deal on HOTWIRE or try bidding on PRICELINE, have never done it before Link to comment
AaronJB Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 HOTWIRE is generally moderately more expensive, but one can often make an educated guess as to which hotels are showing. PRICELINE is cheaper, but requires more flexibility - if you bid 4* (for example) in a particular zone, you have to be willing to stay at ANY of the 4*'s in that zone.Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

spuddy9595 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 I also forgot to ask, how do I know what room type I will get when I book ie 2 double beds/King ? obviously being a married couple dont really want 2 beds Link to comment
AaronJB Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 There is no guarantee in regards to bed type. One bed is most likely, but if you do not want two I'd suggest calling ahead and requesting. There may be free wifi in the lobby or other public areas.Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches. Link to comment
