Colfax Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Priceline and Hotwire rates have really shot up in Civic Center area this spring and summer. I'm consistently paying $70's and $80's now for hotels that I'd gotten accustomed to winning for $40's or $50's. I probably could have beat Hotwire's $88 rate bidding on Priceline but I only wanted Whitcomb for this trip, not the Holiday Inn next door. Icons as previously reported: Smokefree, Fitness, Restaurant, Business, Highspeed.Whitcomb's regular rate was $139 on 6/14 and $149 on 6/15.What's new at the Whitcomb is they've renovated some rooms with new furniture and upgraded linens and they're selling these as "Superior" rooms now at a higher rate. They gave me one of those Superior rooms on the sixth floor. If I'm paying more now I guess I getting more too. Still I'd prefer the "old days", in an unrenovated room for $55.Bought through the BetterBidding HOTWIRE link. Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Congratulations on your success!Sorry to hear if the upgrade is unnecessary for your needs and you prefer the lower rate, but at least they're taking care of the property in order to have this remain a 'good deal' for years to come.Thank you for sharing your results and using the HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your purchase.Glad you enjoyed your stay. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
