Arrwa26 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 HiI am searching for a hotel room for my family (2 adults & 2 children), so when I do a hotwire search I always put in 2 adults & 2 children, only when the results come in the price always seems to be based on 2 adults only, and makes no mention of the 2 children, even though I definately put 2 children in when I did the search. What should I do? Do I take the risk and book anyway? And argue (if need be) that I did put 2 children into the search?When I put 4 adults into the search it does find rooms based on 4 adults sharing but the price is alot more expensive.It's quite frustrating so any advice from you would be really appreciated - thank you!
AaronJB Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 Welcome to Betterbidding. :)What are your date/s of travel and destination? Additionally, what browser are you using?Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
thereuare Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 When you search for 2adults/2children and then look at the top of the page just above the RED "Hotwire hot Rates" and BLUE "More Hotels" tab... by the city searched, dates and rooms does it only show 2adults OR in that area does it also show 2adults/2children? What about if you use the HOTWIRE search box on the top left of this page and/or the BiddingHelper.com search box in the middle of the page... do you see 2adults/2children in your results when using these search boxes (as i know it works for each of these)Where is it that you're looking that it indicates that the children have been removed from the search parameters?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

thereuare Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 Please change the currency drop down menu on the top right of HOTWIRE's page to US Dollars (and if applicable the country to United States). Then continue to search HOTWIRE and post to the board in US Dollars so that rates are consistent and not subject to interpretation due to future currency fluctuation. Once you're ready to purchase simply change the drop down menu to whatever currency you'd like to use and complete your purchase.What is the rate per nite in US Dollars?

Arrwa26 Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Posted July 23, 2012 Thanks for your replies but in the end I decided not to book
