Hotwire Hotel: 3* Asheville (Central) Crowne Plaza

[leopardprint]

My friend just booked a hotel for she and I, and *possibly* 1-2 other friends. Since we were unsure, she went with HOTWIRE instead of PRICELINE, and requested quad occupancy so we would be assured of having two beds in case the extra people stay.

The hotel she won was the Crowne Plaza in Asheville, NC, for $59 (one night). This hotel is reviewed here: Asheville Crowne Plaza Review

I just went to the hotel's website to compare our price with the rack rate, and noticed that there's a $12 fee per person, starting with the 3rd person. So this may add as much as $24, even if our other friends don't come, since we booked for 4 people? Or are we exempt from this fee, since the HOTWIRE total price should have been for four adults? I would not have booked the room at the rate of $83, which is what we may end up having to pay.

(I did search the board for this before posting, and read a few threads, but couldn't really find a concrete yes or no answer. Does this policy vary by hotel? My only other similar experience was when I DID have to pay a $10 resort fee when I booked a hotel through PRICELINE, but I wasn't in the mood to fight it that time.)

Please post the details of the win as a reply to this thread, we will then move this thread to the appropriate section of the board and answer the question above. Thank you. :)

Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Crowne Plaza Asheville NC, $59, 5/23/10 - 5/24/10 via HOTWIRE

Not sure of the amenities listed, since I'm not the one who booked it.

The amount you paid is for the number of guests you included in your search, so if you searched for quad occupancy there should be no additional charge for the 3rd or 4th guests in the room.

Can you please add your fried to look up the amenities and report them here... these are still viewable by going to HOTWIRE and clicking the MY ACCOUNT link near the top right of their home page. (please also ask her to stop by the board and use the links here for her future PRICELINE and HOTWIRE purchases)

Thanks.
