biddingirl Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 Hello:I have tried priceline for months now. Every year I use priceline to book our rooms in hilton head for these same dates (memorial weekend). Have been rejected and went as high as 150.00. I REALLY want to stay at the Mriott beach and Golf resort OR the Westin. The crowne is ok but the walk is a bit far to the beach.SO NOW I AM GOING TO GIVE HOTWIRE a shot. Looking for advice on grabbing the Weston or the Marriott Beach and Golf resort.Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
dahammer Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 greetings! When you search HOTWIRE, what do you see? Please post your dates of travel, star rating, amenities and daily rate without taxes.Please use the HOTWIRE links on the board for your searches and purchases.Thank you!PS, I thought the Crowne Plaza was beachfront?
biddingirl Posted May 13, 2011 Author Report Posted May 13, 2011 The Crowne is CONSIDERED beach front as you can see the beach but you have to walk to a concrete trail and then walk the trail to get to the beach...I would say the total walk frm door to beach is 1/3 miles..not bad but when carrying alot of stuff and kids its a pain....unlike just walking out the back door at the Mariott and Westin. I will post the rates and amenities as requested in a minute.
biddingirl Posted May 13, 2011 Author Report Posted May 13, 2011 OK...I see a price of $215.00 4star rating, dates of travel are 5/28 - 5/31/2011, amenities are RESORT, NEAR BEACH, FITNESS,POOL, RESTAURANT, BUSINESS CENTER, LAUNDRY, HIGH SPEED INTERNET, GOLF NEARBYI am guessing that is the Crowne Plaza. I tried 1 adult 2 kids, 2 adults 0 kids, 2 adults 2 kids..That is the only 4 star that comes up each time!
dahammer Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 HOTWIRE only displays up to 8 amenities, if you click "see all" you should get Tennis and Children's Activities as well. So yes, it appears as if this is the Crowne Plaza. I agree, the Marriott is a great property right on the beach.
Gallus50 Posted May 16, 2011 Report Posted May 16, 2011 Checked LastMinuteTravel and Kayak.com. LMT has the Crowne Plaza on request for $162, but it is not shown "available" so it is not a given. Kayak didn't have that much, Westin & Marriott didn't show up at all. Economy must be improving; availability seems really limited. On HW, there is a 2bdrm condo 3* available for $159. That seems like a much better deal than over $200 for the Crowne Plaza. Even if you have to drive to the beach, you'll have lots of space and a nice patio. Can't ID the listing and there's no TA rating, but it sounds like good quality for the price on a busy weekend. Good luck with this one. Let us know how it turns out.
