thereuare Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 Welcome to BetterBidding!This amenity combination has previously been seen to be associated with the Inter-Continental, but I'm not currently seeing this property offered when searching HOTWIRE for your dates... are you still seeing the above on your own search? If so, are you searching HOTWIRE for more than one room or for more than the default 2adults/0children?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

TravelLion Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report Posted March 15, 2011 I'm not seeing it anymore :)Does this mean I have lost it or will more rooms become available?This is my first time using this service and I had a great rate, but now it's gone.Do I keep checking? Are new room rates added daily?Help! :)
AaronJB Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 HOTWIRE inventory changes all the time, especially in larger areas. There is, unfortunately, no way of knowing when the inventory will change or which hotel may appear at what price. Please keep us updated and let us know if you have any questions.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

thereuare Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 My guess is that this is the Courtyard by Marriott Isla Verde upgraded to the 4* level since the last time it was reported to the board.However, i'll point out the inconsistency that HOTWIRE indicates this offer is 3.5/5.0 rated by Tripadvisor whereas the current rating of the Courtyard is 4.0/5.0. This does cast a shadow of doubt over this ID but doesn't exclude the Courtyard since HOTWIRE's info isn't updated in real time (only updated about once per month) and may have changed since the last update.Since this an extended stay you could see if this same property is offered for the first (or last) nite of your stay and then again for the balance. If so, you could purchase the solo nite in order to 'look behind the curtain'. If you're happy with the results purchase the remaining nites, if not, make alternate plans for the balance of your stay.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.PS- in future posts you can just post the amenity names as the descriptions are not necessary and will make your posts easier to read Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
