Hotwire Hotel: 4* Philadelphia (K Prussia-Valley Forge) Sheraton

[freqflyer]

Using strategies learned on Betterbidding.com I again got the hotel I wanted.

I am going to a wedding and they had reserved a block of rooms at the Sheraton Park Ridge Hotel in King of Prussia for $89. I called the hotel and they said that the block of rooms had been taken but they could offer me a room for $119. I said forget it because I was sure I could do better on their website or with Priceline or Hotwire.

So I started by checking Hotwire and saw a 4* with Rest, Pool, Fit Center, Internet, Golf Nearby, Tennis Nearby, Business Center and Laundry Facilities for only $68 for April 22-24, 2005.

I thought it might be the Sheraton Park Ridge. I based this on my knowledge of the area and the betterbidding.com hotel lists. I tried the Hotel/Car package trick to increase my comfort level but the Hotwire site gave me some Java errors. So I figured for $68 and a 4* I would be happy even if I wasn't at the same hotel as the rest of the guests. The small gamble paid off as I am confirmed at the Sheraton Park Ridge Hotel. Thanks again for your help Betterbidding!

Thank you for your kind words of BetterBidding and for sharing your win with the board.

Guess yo showed the hotel for refusing you the $89/nite rate! :)

Glad to hear it all worked out for you and you'll end up at the same hotel as the other guests.

Enjoy your stay.
