Hotwire Hotel: Help Identify 3* Lake Charles

[doade101]

Hotwire is showing a 3* in Lake Charles for $60 a night on 1/22/11 to 1/23/11

Amenities: No smoking, Complimentary breakfast, High speed internet

I'm not seeing alot of info on Lake Charles even though it seems to be a fairly big tourist / gambling area with quite a few hotels.

Any help on priceline bidding would be appreciated also

Please follow-up your previous Hotwire New Orleans thread with whatever you ended up doing for that stay... then click this HOTWIRE link and reply to this thread, we'll then have a look at your post above.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... and your searches too!

[doade101]

Done. I always try to use the links on searches and booking.

This property has not yet been reported to the board.

The Comfort Suites would be a guess, but there are likely other possibilties as well.

Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

I'm looking at an area where PRICELINE only has one 3* hotel listed in the "browse hotel" - full price section. Should I assume that I will get the same hotel bidding 3* in the same area? If so how much should I bid off the rack rate?

I bid $45 for a 3* on PRICELINE with no luck. I will try again tomorrow and post results on the priceline forum.

No, this is two diffrent things. Sure, this is a small zone so one could speculate about this and most of the hotels there are lower rated. But never take this for granted. For more info see the related link in our PRICELINE FAQ.

Let us know how we can help you further.

I bid $55 for a 3* in Lake Charles last night and was denied again. I'm going to go for $65 tonight and see what happens. The only other 3* (besides casinos) any site shows is comfort suites. Comfort suites is rated 2* on priceline. Would the priceline bidding rate the hotels differently? Would priceline possibly put me in the comfort suites even though their retail star rating is 2*?

[AaronJB]

The star rating on both sides are the same, although some properties on the retail side may not participate on the bidding side.

Good luck with your next round of bidding and thank you for keeping us updated.

Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Did not end up booking through hotwire or priceline...

Thanks for closing this thread with your decision.

When you don't use PRICELINE or HOTWIRE, it would be more helpful to others if you post what you did do for the stay... not just what you didn't.

Please check for and use the links in our support page for your hotel direct purchases whenever possible.

Thanks.
