chunkalooney Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 Tried Priceline for days, no luck due to Memorial Day (Went to $140 for 4*, $195 for 5*)Needed a room, ended up with Hard Rock for $117/night:CasinoFitness CenterPool RestaurantSpa ServicesI was convinced it would be the Westin, but for last minute on a busy weekend, very happy with the results, especially having no luck with a Saturday check in on PL for a Holiday weekend. HRH website is $728 for these nights for a basic room! Any tips on how to get a better room, will the $20 trick at check in work at HRH?Thanks
AaronJB Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 Congrats on your success. :)Excellent deal and glad you're pleased with the result. I'd call and ask regarding availability - they may say no, or you may be able to negotiate an upgrade. If not, then you can try again at check-in.Thank you for sharing your win and using the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.Enjoy your stay.
chunkalooney Posted May 25, 2011 Author Report Posted May 25, 2011 Who should I call? Hotwire or the Hotel Directly? Is there a recommended strategy to weasel an upgrade?Thank youJohn
AaronJB Posted May 26, 2011 Report Posted May 26, 2011 Call the hotel directly. HOTWIRE reservations are not eligible for upgrades, so while it is worth a try, the hotel can say no. If they say no over the phone, I'd try again at check-in.
