Chris26WI Posted April 10, 2005 Report Posted April 10, 2005 Just had a look at my former PL bookings, and saw that the Renaissance Prague has apparently been downgraded from 5-star to 4-star level in PL UK (so PL US probably too), while the Marriott is still 5-star.

chen Posted April 12, 2005 Report Posted April 12, 2005 I haven't personally seen it but people are reporting successful jazzfest bids for the Hyatt downtown that is listed as a 3.5* hotel with the same amenities. If you do a search right now for downtown from dates (4/25 - 5/1) you will see this 3.5 star hotel listed at $84. Apparently, this is the Hyatt. I think that swag can confirm/provide more detailed info.Swag?
swag Posted April 13, 2005 Report Posted April 13, 2005 Yes, the Hyatt Regency New Orleans, in Hotwire's Downtown zone, has been downgraded by HW to the 3.5 star level.
Blackmagic Posted April 22, 2005 Report Posted April 22, 2005 The MOA Grand Hotel has closed and is being dismantled floor by floor. The company posted the details on this web page: http://www.moagrandhotel.com/ I believe this is the Grand Hotel listed in your Airport (MSP) - Mall of America Priceline zone hotel list.I'm going to bid on a 3* in this zone so we'll see if I can get the Hilton (It's the only known 3* left...)Thanks for a great site... onto the Barn...

kpak Posted May 4, 2005 Report Posted May 4, 2005 New York City (Airport LGA)3* Crowne Plaza HotelAmenities: Restaurant, FitnessI think this needs to be updated to...Amenities: Shuttle, Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Business, Laundry. Not 100% sure. I spent some time looking at that listing and looking at what people have been winning on Priceline recently for LGA and sure enough I saw a Hotel with these amenities listed on Hotwire for $92 and got my $80 bid accepted by Priceline right after for the Crowne Plaza. The new amenities actually fit what the hotel currently has on offer, so it does make sense.
thereuare Posted May 4, 2005 Report Posted May 4, 2005 Welcome to BetterBidding!We'll make a note by this property in the hotel list but no officaial change until it's reported/confirmed.It would be appreciated if you posted your own Priceline win as a NEW TOPIC in the PRICELINE NEW YORK part of the board.

rove312 Posted May 6, 2005 Report Posted May 6, 2005 I see that the Chicago map was completely redrawn today.
thereuare Posted May 7, 2005 Report Posted May 7, 2005 I have re-zoned the Hotwire Orlando WDW area into the two new zones: (Disney Main Gate - Champions Gate) and (Lake Buena Vista - Downtown Disney)It would be appreciated if any of our Disney experts and/or those local or know the area well confirm that all off the hotels in this list are property categorized.

lawdeda Posted May 8, 2005 Report Posted May 8, 2005 Priceline just recategorized the popular areas of downtown Chicago. Here are the new categories:Millennium Park, Loop & Grant Park Area - are now one area. North Michigan Ave & River North Area - are now one area.Lincoln Park is gone.That will take away some significant bidding strategy.
thereuare Posted May 9, 2005 Report Posted May 9, 2005 See above... if you're familiar with the area (or anyone else that is) please double-check which zone we have placed each hotel and confirm them for us.Thanks.

Analise Posted May 11, 2005 Report Posted May 11, 2005 I saw this on the list of Priceline hotels in Portland and I wanted to help clarify. While this hotel calls itself the Fairfield Inn, Portland Airport, this property is in the Portland zone, NOT THE PORTLAND AIRPORT ZONE. I have stayed there and can account for it.They are in the City of Portland but they do have a shuttle which runs to PWM. That said, the Fairfield Inn in Scarborough by the Maine Mall is listed in the PWM zone even though it is not considered an airport hotel by Fairfield Inn. There is no shuttle to the airport.
