ratz Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Trying to figure out 3.5* listing in Burlington, icons are smokefree room, fitness center, pool, restaurant, business center, hi-speed internet, golf nearby. I want the Hilton on Battery and I'm afraid this is the Doubletree. Any help? Also - weird HOTWIRE site says they are "still gathering reviews for this property". Why? Lots of folks have booked the Hilton Link to comment

thereuare Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 A property with this amenity combination has not yet been reported to the board, but my guess is that this is the Sheraton... upgraded to the 3.5* level (from the 3* level) and with new Smoke Free and Internet icons, since last reported to the board.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

ratz Posted May 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 One more thing. It says there is a "choice of beds" whatever that means. I am really afraid to do this without knowing what I'm getting. But this site is very helpful. Link to comment
yellowdog Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 ratzThe bed choice is that you can choose 1 or 2 beds for the room. If you go back to HOTWIRE (please use this link) and do your search again, click CONTINUE next to this offering and on the next page you'll be given the option to choose the bed configuration of your room (usually for an additional fee)Please use the site's HOTWIRE link to start your purchase, and let us know how it goes or if you need any additional help with your stay.Yellowdog.PS. Please follow-up this thread with whatever you end up doing, even if you chose to book direct, cancell your trip, etc. Link to comment
ratz Posted May 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Okay I did book for the first time using HOTWIRE through your Better Bidding site. I'm sure it will be fine and you were right, but it wasn't the hotel I wanted. I figured out that it was either the Sheraton or Hilton, but I really wanted to stay at the Hilton and it came up Sheraton. I booked it for the second night. I was hoping it was the Hilton, and I could do their pick your own room the first night and then keep it with the HOTWIRE rate the second night. Now I'm locked into the Sheraton for the second night. So not sure what I will do the first night. It probably makes sense to stay at the same place both nights, but I really wanted to try the Hilton. I don't think I have the nerves for this! I'm way too picky. I just figured I'm going up to move my daughter from college, not for a vacation, I might as well save $100. Oh and by the way, the amenities were smoke free rooms, fitness center, pool, restaurant, business center, highspeed internet access and Golf nearby. Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Sorry to hear we were right :)As you point out, this trip has a purpose and isn't a vacation, and i'm sure will work well for your plans. Not sure why you wanted the Hilton over the Sheraton, but i'd stay put in one place if possible and save the money.If you need help with the first nite let us know and we'll advise according... or if you purchase a second nite at the Sheraton thru HOTWIRE let us know that as well so we can edit the dates in the topic title accordingly.Thank you for sharing your results and using the HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your purchase.Enjoy your stay and hope the move goes smoothly.
