oriental_vanchick Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Hi, I'd appreciate any assistance this forum has to offer in helping me choose a hotel to bid on in Charleston SC for 08/23/11 - 08/25/11. My IDEAL wish list would include:- free parking- safe area for walking- in downtown or is a short drive to downtown- air conditioned of course!- good value for the money. I'm ok with 2.5-3 star Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 ...helping me choose a hotel to bid on...This is posted in the HOTWIRE section of the board, but you mention bidding on a hotel, so i'm it's not clear from your post whether you're looking to use PRICELINE or HOTWIRE for this stay.Regardless, 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.Given the above, are you looking to 'roll the dice' for the lowest possible price and use PRICELINE, without having any insight if the above features you're seeking are offered at the hotel you will receive... or are you willing to pay a bit more with HOTWIRE to have an educated guess as to the property you may receive.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
