Priceline Hotel: 4* Copenhagen question

[sfcaflyer]

I want to get the Copenhagen Marriott 8/19-8/24.

It looks like the Crowne Plaza may be another 4* for Priceline in Copenhagen per some posts here, which I don't want - does anyone know if Marriott is really the only 4* in Copenhagen?

If I look at the map on Priceline, the border they use on their Bing map does not include the Crowne Plaza, but it is a block or 2 away.

Thanks!

Welcome to BetterBidding!

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.

The Crowne Plaza was last reported as being in PRICELINE's Copenhangen zone in May 2010, so the zone boundaries may have changed since then. If you need the Marriott then i wouldn't take the PRICELINE / HOTWIRE risk, but if it's more of a want, then you'll need to decide how much savings you would need in order to make the risk of receiving a different hotel worthwhile.

Let us know how you'd like to proceed and we'll try to assist further.
