thesqueegeekid Posted June 5, 2003 Report Share Posted June 5, 2003 This was my first time actually purchasing on hotwire ... I am amazed that PL stumped me bidding for this. BUT Expedia and other sites showed that Monday was not available at this hotel so I am at least appreciative for Hotwire...Total was $129.95 which inlcuded $21.95 of taxes and fees.I bid PL up to $40 3* and up to $85 4* and got rejected!!! PL has been acting really funny the last couple of days .... it takes up to 20 minutes to get a response.Also, my friend needed air for this trip and I bid pretty high using savings barn (link is no linger available here at BB??) to get the $10 bonus ... I even bid the same as the fare offered by lowestfare.com (PL's other site) because she was totally flexible and was still rejected. I ended up booking directly on ATA.com. Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 Squeegie? Hotwire? No, really?... Squeegie? I don't believe it!Is this zone (Westminster - Broomfield) or (Denver North - Thornton)?It seem to me that the correct zone is Westminster - Broomfield and the confusion is that the hotel name is "DoubleTree Denver North". Did i figure it out correct?Also, can you confirm this is a Customer Favorite and the amenities are: Restaurant, Pool, Business Center, Golf, Tennis(you can see the amenities if you can use the "my account" at Hotwire)And yes, we can no longer link directly to SavingsBarn.

thesqueegeekid Posted June 6, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 Thereuare .... tell me about it, but I have to admit, using Hotwire is as exciting as PL in terms of waiting to find out which hotel you get. I could have separated the bid dates and gone for the Omni or Westin 4*'s but the person I was bidding for wanted to stay at one place.From the email confirmation....Location: Denver, COCity Area: Westminster - BroomfieldHotel Quality: 3-star MidscaleDoubletree Hotel Denver North8773 Yates Drive Westminster, CO 80030(303) 427-4000Check-in Date: Mon, Jun 9, 2003Check-out Date: Thu, Jun 12, 2003Number Of Rooms: 1Number of Nights: 3Price per night: $36.00Subtotal: $108.00Total Taxes and Booking Fees: $21.95Total: $129.95 Link to comment
thesqueegeekid Posted June 6, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 I am in the Hotwire "my account" section and it does show the ammenities you mentioned BUT it does not mention here that it is the customer favorite. However, it was the "customer favorite" when I placed the search.The hotel's website also refers to this hotel as the "Doubletree Denver-Boulder" in the write up. That was perfect as my friend needs to be in Boulder. Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 Thanks for both follow up posts :)I guess the "my account" doesn't keep track of Customer Favorite status.
