mahdego Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 Hi first time poster. I have been using the HOTWIRE links on here (also just tried general search) for the W Barcelona Hotel for 4/2 - 4/4. I cannot find it for those dates nor any dates. I just want to make sure that I am not failing to do something special that brings up the hotel. In the past many have confirmed it to be this: 5* Barcelona (Downtown-Marina-Les Ramblas)amenities listed are Near Beach, Fitness Center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business Center, High-speed Internet Access, Spa Services (thats 7)When I search for dates all I seem to find is what is most likely Eurostars Grand Marina Hotel (amenities such as Boutique, Oceanfront, Fitness Center, Pool, Restaurant)Am I doing something wrong? Is there a good search for Priceline? I cannot seem to find any consistencies with Priceline like I do with Hotwire.Thank you for any help. I currently have the Fira Palace Hotel booked, but I know the girl I am going with will be more impressed with W Barcelona.
AaronJB Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 Welcome to Betterbidding. :)For a set of dates entered into HOTWIRE, one property appears at each star level in each zone. There could be a number of different properties at that star rating in that zone, but only one will appear at a time; unfortunately, it may not be the desired one. HOTWIRE listings can change at any time, but there's no guarantee that the property hoped for will appear between now and your stay.If you look up 2 adults and 2 children, that MAY (may not) offer some different options, but it may also be more expensive than only looking up 2 adults, as well.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
mahdego Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Posted March 30, 2011 Well I tried and I researched but I ended up with Le Meridien through PRICELINE. HOTWIRE did show it with 2 adults and 1 child, but for $355 per night. So we ended up with Le Meridien for $175 per night (a rate many have said they have W Barcelona for). I think because of a recent special for Sherwood properties the W's cheaper rooms were booked, as well as entering the beginning of tourist season.We are leaving on Friday night!Thanks for your help, I think for abroad bookings I will stick with HOTWIRE next time.
