Priceline Hotel: 3.5* San Juan Radisson Ambassador

[emwhicher]

For April 29 - May 1, 2011, Hotwire lists a 4* Resort, Beachfront, Casino, pool, restaurant, Business Center, Laundry, Tennis nearby, spa. for $135. Is this most likely the Intercontinental?

Also, for the same dates, there is a 31/2* listed at $122. Near beach, smoke free, Fitness, Pool, Restaurant, Business center, Laundry, Hi speed internet, Tennis, Children's activities. I only see hotels at this level with casinos. Thanks.

I'm going to guess that this is the Verdanza Hotel... upgraded to the 4* level when it was converted from the 3 star rated Holiday Inn.

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.

I had a good look at the hotels available and I think the Verdanza has been upgraded to 3.5*. It was down to $113 last night, I haven't checked yet today.

I used the PRICELINE link, but I wasn't logged in. Does that matter? anyway, pre-cruise 2 nights. I have been bidding for about a week using all the other free bid zones and starting around $80 and working my way up slowly $2 at a time. I checked all the websites and Hiotwire every day. I was going to stay under $100 and keep trying. I have lots of time. As usual I started to worry and decided to go to $106, but ended up at $107. I have been bidding for 3.5 because if I get a 4* or resort, that's OK, too. So here it is:

Radisson Ambassador Plaza (in Condado)

$107 X 2 nights = $214.00

taxes and fees $ 33.52

Total $ 247.52

Hotel's website is showing a promo rate for those dates. Stay 2 nights, save 15% for a nightly rate of $131.75 X2 = $263.50, with taxes of $52.47 and a total of $321.47. I hope there's no resort fee to be added.

Yes, I am happy. Thanks for all your help.

I have now booked the Radisson Ambassador through the PRICELINE link on this site (see details on the priceline forum for Puerto Rico)

It was listed as a 3.5* and I think it may be the same one that I was offered on Hotwire. Thanks for all your help.
