Hotwire Hotel: 4.5* Louisville (Downtown) 21c Museum Hotel

[m1chelle]

I'm travelling with a party of 3 and we are staying one night in downtown Louisville on May 12.

We'd love the Brown Hotel or Seelbach, or 21c Museum. I notice, however, with Priceline and Hotwire, we aren't able to guarantee 2 beds. Is there any way to know for such if the hotel won't cause issues if we show up with three people?

[m1chelle]

Oh dear. I'm sorry - put this in the wrong place and can't figure out how to move it.

[m1chelle]

Hi,

Does anyone know if this is the Brown or the 21c?

Amenities:

Business Center, High-Speed Internet Access, Laundry Facilities (self-service), Restaurant(s), Smoke Free Rooms

Reccomended by 95%, shows 4/5 on Tripadvisor.

Price is $105 for one night (May 12)

Don't worry about moving your post. There isn't any way you can do it. However, the moderators do it regularly to keep things orderly. I know I've slipped and put a post in the wrong area, and it promptly magically pops up right where it belongs.

I'm sure you know you can't target a specific hotel on Priceline. On Hotwire, by comparing the amenities offered to those posted by prior member wins, the moderators can make a well educated guess as to which hotel you might get. Not 100% sure, but good. For that matter, you can also browse the Hotwire hotel list yourself and see if you find a match.

There is no way to guarantee two beds with Priceline. With Hotwire, by putting in 3 guest, you can sort of force the issue. The second bed could be a fold-out sofa though.

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.

If this is not a risk you're willing to accept, then 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) Would this work for your needs? If so, if you do a HOTWIRE search for 3adults does the same 4.5* property appear and still within your budget (the price may go up when searching for more than double occupancy)... if you click the 'See all' link under the amenities are there more than what you've included in your previous post above?

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

PS- please also update your Priceline Chicago with any decisions and/or your current thoughts for that trip. Thanks.

[m1chelle]

Thanks. Not seeing any 4.5* with a search for 3 adults. I think I will hold out to see if that is updated closer to our stay.

Some hotels don't offer inventory to HOTWIRE for more than double occupancy, so you may want to consider 4* hotels or anything else that is offered which may be of interest.

Let us know whatever you decide to do for this stay or if we can be of further help along the way.

I just got another new offer on HOTWIRE. This time it shows as available for 3 guests. It's 4.5* in downtown Louisville.

Amenities:

Free Internet

Smoke Free Rooms

Fitness Center

Laundry Facilities (self-service)

High-Speed Internet Access

Sounds like the 21c Museum to me. Shows 4.5 rating on Tripadvisor, and that's the only hotel with 4.5* downtown (Brown is 4/5 on tripadvisor). What do you think?

[m1chelle]

Took a chance because it said few rooms left... turned out to be what I wanted! Very excited. These are the amenities it showed:

Free Internet

Smoke Free Rooms

Fitness Center

Restaurant(s)

Business Center

Laundry Facilities (self-service)

High-Speed Internet Access

We booked for 3 guests. One night. Their site shows $199+ so this is a great deal.
