dnh Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 This is my first time using Hotwire and I'm not sure how this all works. I'm looking for a hotel in a good part of Washington, DC with an indoor pool, breakfast that is close to the National Mall. Any suggestions and I don't undestand how you know what hotel you are bidding on when they don't tell you the name. Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Welcome to BetterBidding!If you haven't seen it yet, this is a good place to begin: I've Never Used Priceline or HotwireWhat are the date(s) of your stay? What is your desired star rating and budget?If you got to HOTWIRE does anything appear within your desired zone, star rating and budget choices which shows a Complimentary Breakfast icon? (indicated by the Coffee Cup icon) If so, what are the full list of amenities associated with the property?Let us know the above and we'll take it from there.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

dnh Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 The dates are March 28-April 1. I would like a 3 star or better and hoping to get for around $100 or less (if possible). It will be my husband and I and two children so I need two beds. How can you tell if they have an indoor pool or outdoor pool? thanksThis is what came up: Arlington area hotel (1.2-6.1 mi from city center) breakfast, fitness, pool, business center, hs internetAlso, how would I know if they offer a shuttle service to a metro station because we also need that.

dnh Posted March 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Yes I just entered it again and got the same listings. I'm going through HOTWIRE directly from this site, putting in Washington, DC, 3/28-4/1, 1 room, 2 adults and 2 children. Do you think you could please try again. Thanks so much! Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 I'm still not seeing any of these. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment

Thanks Link to comment
AaronJB Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 There is no way to know if the price will fall closer to your dates; it could certainly go up, and if it does, it can ramp up suddenly. Or listings may disappear/change.The 4* Chantilly is a possible match for the Westin or Sheraton. My guess for the 3* Reston would be the Aloft. The 3.5* has not yet been ID'd, but may be the Sheraton with a slightly different amenity set.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
