jenhood7 Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 I am trying to get the Hilton Riverside, but I can never get the "tennis" amenity to come up on any search with various dates and lengths of stay. I was using the tip from the packages listing in this section that lists the amenities. Do you think that one could be left off on the hotel only search? I have been watching for a couple of weeks now.Thanks! Link to comment

jenhood7 Posted July 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Hi! Thanks for responding!I don't have definite dates, my son is playing all-star baseball and it will depend on when we finish that! =) I have been putting in dates for the next 2 weeks to see how it comes up and trying to figure out what hotels they are. A friend recommended we stay at the Hilton Riverside b/c of our plans - Aquarium, Riverwalk, Zoo, etc. Do you know the area?Thanks so much! Link to comment

jenhood7 Posted July 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Well, we finished baseball today, so we need to leave for a trip by Tuesday...but I guess we need to change directions since Hurricane Dennis has hit! I'm looking at Branson now, I guess we can do New Orleans in the fall.I found where a girl bid $45 on the Chateau in Branson with P/L and got it, I may try that depending on the weather tomorrow.

jenhood7 Posted July 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 July 12-17thFor NO, I was looking at 4*, but for Branson I'm not sure. It seems its limited there, and not many recent postings here for that area. There is just one zone.I am watching the weather in NO...still not sure if it would be worth going there. But, when I search for July 12th-16th 4*, i get $74. When I add the 17th, which is what I would want, I get a price over $120. When I search for just the 17th, I get the $70-80 range again. What do you think is going on with that? Link to comment

jenhood7 Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 I am trying to bid on priceline for a resort. My first bid was for $49 and was not accepted. The only resort I can find that is listed in Branson is the Chateau on the Lake, and it was on priceline for $47. What should I bid next? Or, what else should I do? Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 OK, i'll bite... if Priceline 'shop and compare' offered the hotel for $47 why would you bid more than that at $49?What are your date(s)?

jenhood7 Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 I don't know...I just did, it sounded good at the time...=)July 12-17 datesI am SOOOOO nervous!I have been looking at hotwire as well. There just doesn't seem to be as much updated information about which hotels are listed w/ PL and HW for this area. The $47 was a previous Priceline win. Link to comment
jenhood7 Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 I'm trying to figure out which hotel this is in Branson:3*Pool(s), Fitness Center, Golf Nearby, Laundry Facilities (self-service).$52I think it's the Welk, but I'm not sure. Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 For the same exact dates as your own?What are your dates? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
jenhood7 Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 No, not the same dates as mine.My dates are July 12th-17th Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Then the other rate may be meaningless relative to your own stay. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
jenhood7 Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Sorry...I'm trying to follow all the rules.July 12-17thI think the above post hotel is Radisson now, b/c the official hotel site lists "golf nearby" and the Welk site has miniature golf onsite. I have found where both of these are listed w/HW, but don't know the amenities that were listed. Link to comment
jenhood7 Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Restaurant(s), Pool(s), Fitness Center, Business Center5 night total w/taxes $360.95Cheapest rate found elsewhere $87 Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Glad to see you ultimately found success and hopefully are happy with the results.Savings aren't huge, but do add up on a 5 nite stay.Enjoy your stay and thank you for adding this new hotel to our lists.
