straycat Posted July 3, 2010 Author Report Posted July 3, 2010 How do I change the title? An administrator combined my three posts but I need to change the title since it doesn't make sense. Or how do I delete the post and repost? Thanks!
thereuare Posted July 3, 2010 Report Posted July 3, 2010 The amenities listed by PRICELINE are the criteria for that star level... not specific to the hotel being offered. (notice how the amenities are identical for both of the 3* hotels you've listed). Therefore, you can't use this information to determine the hotel you may receive thru PRICELINE.If you use PRICELINE you need to be willing to accept any hotel in the zone at the star rating (or higher) that you select. If you want to have a guess as to the hotel you may receive before your purchase HOTWIRE would be a better option as you can use the amenities shown to take a guess as to the property offered. The trade-off is that HOTWIRE usually costs a little more than PRICELINE.PLEASE remember to use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your purchase... and searches too!Let us know how you'd like to proceed and we'll advise accordingly. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
