jh79 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Hello,Hoping for some help identifying a hotel in Venice. 2 rooms, checking in 20 May and out 22 May.Amenities: Restaurant(s) Business Center High-Speed Internet AccessThanks for your help! Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 A property with this amenity set has not yet been reported to the board.The NH Manin would be my best guess, but there could always be others given how common these these amenities are at a 4* hotel.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

jh79 Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Thanks for your help. I went to book the hotel but after clicking purchase was advised that availability had changed, and it was no longer available. Now there is really nothing for Venice for 2 rooms for those dates, unfortunately. Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Try again tonite or tomorrow... sometimes more inventory gets added once a hotel realizes that they have sold the allotted amount previously entered into the system for a given set of dates.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and keep us updated on your progress.

jh79 Posted March 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 I took your advice and did try a few times since then with the same results. The property shows up, available for 2 rooms, 2 nights in the search, but when booking it says availability has changed. It then disappears from the search for about 30 minutes and then comes back. It’s been quite frustrating. It’s available for individual, one night stays as well but I have no confidence that if I attempt to book it this way, it’ll actually work out. Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 With your stay ~2 months away, are you willing to give it a few more days to see if more inventory comes online? Once it disappears (for the 30 minute period) does a different 4* hotel appear in this zone? Do you have a back-up plan or refundable reservation?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

jh79 Posted March 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Yes, I could probably give it a few more days. It's just the strangest thing. Does calling their call centre and quoting the reference number do anything? Or does the call centre just use the same website and have no further insight?This is actually the only hotel at any star level that appears in Venice. My backup option would likely to use Airbnb - so there is an option, but I'd prefer a hotel. Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 No, it's not a system glitch, without getting too technical it has to do with the way HOTWIRE caches hotels on their backend systems... the hotel is NOT currently available for purchase, but it's possible that more inventory will be added in the coming days.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

jh79 Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I tried again this morning and surprisingly had success! $126 per night (for the dates and rooms specified in the original post) and it was, as you suggested, the NH Manin.Quite happy with this purchase - regular priced Venice hotels were very expensive.Thank you again for all your help.
