Hotwire Hotel: 3.5* Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge (Gatlinburg) Park Vista

[kbears]

Paid a bit of a premium I believe due to booking 2 weeks before trip. But it was the exact hotel wife wanted (listed for $135 @ DoubleTree website after their own 10% discount).

At PRICELINE bids targeting this hotel (started Gatlinburg zone, added Gatlinburg East, added Gatlinburg North) for 70, 80, and 90 were rejected. (Listed as a 2.5* at Priceline)

Hello everyone,

I'm new here and so happy to find the thread for Park Vist Gatlinburg. I'm going to try my luck now to get this hotel for my twin boys birthday next week. I will be happy with any nice hotel with a pool, but I think the boy will love this one. This will be my families first trip to Gatlinburg.

I will post my results!

Cina3445,

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Note that you can't bid on a specific hotel when using PRICELINE, you have to be able to accept any hotel in the zone at the star level (or higher) that you choose. With HOTWIRE you can often take an educated guess as to what is being offered based upon the amenities associated with the property, but it's still a 'best guess' and no guarantees you will receive the hotel you're hoping for. As well, HOTWIRE only shows one hotel at each star level per zone, so there is a chance the hotel you're hoping for isn't the one which is offered for your particular dates.

Also, be aware that PRICELINE only guarantees double occupancy, after that it's at the discretion of the hotel, and you could receive a room with only one bed. While you can call the hotel you win and request a room with two beds, the hotel may not be able, or willing, to honor your request. Is this a risk you're willing to accept? If not, HOTWIRE may still be an option as they allow you to search for up to quad occupancy and ensure sleeping accommodations for everyone you include in your search (although this usually means two beds, the second 'bed' could be a sofabed, rollaway, etc)
