As HOTWIRE only shows one hotel at each star level per zone, and so we can replicate your search, what criteria are you searching on to make the first 4* South property appear and then what criteria are you using to make the second 4* South property appear?

The amenities for the Milpitas property are common but it may be the Sheraton with a new Smoke Free icon added to the amenities since it was last reported to the board.

Searching for 2 adults

When I checked again, I got slightly different results. (Also, I think I put

The amenities for the San Jose Downtown property are common but i'll put my guess at the Fairmont San Jose... the Dolce Hayes seems like a reasonable guess for the South property.

Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

I just tried the search again and the hotel that you think is the Fairmont is now gone. Boo!

I think the other hotel is Dolce Hayes Mansion. When I chose the “blue button” that says “show me” , and I can see all the hotel names, it shows the same features.

I’ll let you know what my plans end up being. (Don't really want to stay there.)

Thanks!

What should I do now?? Maybe I can add a different area...

Please keep all posts for this stay in this same thread.

The HOTWIRE hotels you were considering above were mostly priced in the $80's, but you have only bid above up to $67... what is your maximum bid for this stay?

Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

[juneluv11]

Of course I'd like to spend less, so I placed a bid thru Priceline. :)

My maximum is $70.

[Colfax]

You already used all four of your rebid zones, so you'll have to wait 24 hours from your last rejected bid to try again, higher than $67. From the timestamps of your posts it looks like your 24 hour lockout is already over.

You could try $68 and $70 and still have two rebid zones left if you want to try $72 and $75. A $75 Priceline win will still be cheaper than the $81 Hotwire purchase you were considering.

If you want to spend less what about 3* in San Jose zone? There haven't been any 3.5* hotels reported to the board in San Jose zone but if one exists and it has a lower Priceline rate than the 3* your bid will be upgraded.

Keep us posted and thanks for using the board's PRICELINE link.

Congrats on your success. :)

Good deal for this Doubletree property - definitely get a Doubletree cookie at check-in.
