loanshark Posted July 2, 2005 Report Posted July 2, 2005 The Sheraton Biscayne Bay is closed as of 06/17/2005. It is being torn down to build a multi-use condominium. A press release can be found here:http://www.hotel-online.com/News/PR2004_4t...onBiscayne.htmlDoing a google search for the address 495 Brickell Ave, one can follow this link to see what is being buit at the property site:http://www.miami-realestate.net/icon_brickell.htmIt's a shame, as the Sheraton offered great Priceline deals. :)
BEAV Posted July 3, 2005 Report Posted July 3, 2005 The Hotwire hotel list for Portland, OR shows both a Greater Downtown as well as a Financial District zone. It looks like Hotwire has merged the two zones, with the Financial zone no longer displaying. I can confirm The Portland Marriott, which is the only hotel listed in the Financial zone, now lies within the Greater Downtown Portland area zone.
lee1 Posted July 5, 2005 Report Posted July 5, 2005 As of July 1 the Park Place Hotel (Rochester, NY - Airport area) has changed its name to Radisson which it apparently was a few years ago.

BEAV Posted July 10, 2005 Report Posted July 10, 2005 Per Hotwire's vacation product, the Atlantis, Peppermill and Hilton in Reno have all been downgraded from 4 stars to 3.5. Current amenities listed for all 3 properties in the vacation package are consistant with those posted here on the hotel list. Note: The Atlantis and Peppermill currently have identical amenities in the vacation package. They are: Casino, Shuttle, Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Spa, Golf, Tennis & Business Center.Note This is now the 2nd time I have noticed accessing past purchases in my Hotwire account do not reflect recent changes to amenity/star levels.
thereuare Posted July 11, 2005 Report Posted July 11, 2005 Thanks!Did you happen to notice if the Silver Legacy is still rated 4*? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
BEAV Posted July 11, 2005 Report Posted July 11, 2005 Did you happen to notice if the Silver Legacy is still rated 4*? Silver Legacy didn't display on the original dates I checked. But I just checked different dates, and sure enough, it's now 3.5 stars as well. Amenities are: Casino, Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Spa, Business.Has Hotwire been downgrading to this extent elsewhere?
thereuare Posted July 11, 2005 Report Posted July 11, 2005 Yes, we often see complete re-adjustments in some zones, one which recently occured in Chicago. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
loanshark Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 I read that the Hyatt Regency Downtown Miami was upgraded by Priceline from 3* to 4*. I plugged in random dates in their package section to confirm. The hotel has indeed been upgraded.
bbbb Posted July 16, 2005 Report Posted July 16, 2005 :) Bidding downtown Phoenix for a 3* looks like it got a little safer. The Holiday Inn midtown is now rated a 2.5* in PLs vacation packages.$33 dollar a night Hyatt here we come. :)

Chris26WI Posted July 20, 2005 Report Posted July 20, 2005 Apparently, Priceline HK/SGP will not only have a new zone for Hongkong (Lantau/Silvermine), but also for Singapore ("East coast") and Phuket ("Cape Panwa").... still marked as "coming soon"... but well... we've been waiting longtime for the "coming" of Karon Beach for Phuket...
BEAV Posted July 20, 2005 Report Posted July 20, 2005 Per Hotwire's vacation product, the Sutton Place (Orange County - Newport - Costa Mesa South) has been downgraded 4 stars to 3.5. Amenities appear unchanged from those on the list:ShuttleRestaurantPoolFitnessGolfTennisBusiness
thereuare Posted July 20, 2005 Report Posted July 20, 2005 Thanks!Action taken. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
BEAV Posted August 3, 2005 Report Posted August 3, 2005 Per Hotwire's vacation package, the Avante hotel in San Jose(Mountain View) zone has been downgraded 3.5 to 3 stars. Ameneties remain the same as on the hotel list: Boutique, Complimentary Breakfast, Pool & Business.
thereuare Posted August 3, 2005 Report Posted August 3, 2005 Got it, thanks. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
BEAV Posted August 11, 2005 Report Posted August 11, 2005 Per Hotwire's vacation package, the Pan Pacific in San Francisco (USW zone) has been downgraded 4.5 to 4 stars. Amenities unchanged, displaying Restaurant, Fitness & Business. As info, the same vacation package continues to show the Clift as 4.5 stars, thus ending these two properties as having the same star level and matching identities.The downgrading of the Pan Pacific does, however, muddy the waters in the 4 star category in this zone. If, as the hotel list states, the Hilton no longer shows the pool icon, it's amenities now match that of the Pan Pacific. You win one, you lose one!

arizonagirl Posted August 12, 2005 Report Posted August 12, 2005 I was doing some research on Priceline for an upcoming trip to Seattle using their "shop and compare" tool and they listed the Vance in downtown Seattle as 2.5*. I don't know how reliable this is, but as the Vance has previously been "won" as a 3*, I thought it was worth mentioning.
thereuare Posted August 12, 2005 Report Posted August 12, 2005 Thanks... do you happen to remember the date(s) that you were searching for when seeing this property? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
arizonagirl Posted August 12, 2005 Report Posted August 12, 2005 Yep, I was on priceline today searching for two rooms for the weekend of 9/29-10/2.
BEAV Posted August 15, 2005 Report Posted August 15, 2005 The Priceline hotel list for Montreal lists the Hilton in Dorval Airport zone as being 4 stars. The Dorval Airport zone no longer offers 4 star bidding (3 star the highest).
