Priceline Hotel: 4* Portland (Downtown) The Nines

[akdon]

Was looking for 4 star in Downtown for this Saturday night. Tried $65, 75, 80, 85 and finally $90 was the accepted price.

$90 + $19.58 tax = $109.58

Is there anyway to assure that your bid is for the Nines. It used to be a 5* which made it easy (since it was the only one)...but now I assume you just get the luck of the draw for all the 4* correct? I would bid $90 also for those dates if I could get the Nines.

The Nines has always been rated 4* on PRICELINE. I recall that I was the first to win it and posted the win on this board. It has always been rated a 5* on HOTWIRE, though.

You can't bid on a specific hotel when using PRICELINE, you have to be able to accept any hotel in the zone at the star level (or higher) that you choose. With HOTWIRE you can often take an educated guess as to what is being offered based upon the amenities associated with the property, but it's still a 'best guess' and no guarantees you will receive the hotel you're hoping for. As well, HOTWIRE only shows one hotel at each star level per zone, so there is a chance the hotel you're hoping for isn't the one which is offered for your particular dates.

If you'd like further help with an upcoming stay please start a NEW TOPIC.

I wish i had waited a few days to book for the last trip. I love the Nines. I usually book directly with them but ever since they have their 5th star i cant afford it anymore :)
