ashlyne Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 I bounced around Hotwire and Priceline using this site to figure out how I could get the hotel I wanted in this area. I needed some place pet-friendly, and unfortunately through Hotwire and placing a bid on Priceline, you don't get to filter hotel ammenities. Priceline's Express Deal section does specifiy some ammenities, including pet-friendliness, and the deals were decent there. But I was looking for the best deal. :)I used Priceline's Express Deals to find out which pet-friendly hotels were in which areas, and at what star level. There was one for $45/night. Hotwire had a similar hotel with similar ammenities for $55/night in that area. I started checking their named hotels for that area and through deduction of which 2-star hotels still had vacancies (only a couple), I was pretty sure both of those sites were featuring the Extended Stay America in Cincinnati/Fairfield. The other 2-star hotel didn't have ammenities that lined up with Hotwire's or Priceline's Express Deals. So I went back to Priceline, and bid on a 2-Star hotel in the Cincinnati Northwest - Fairfield area (by the way, this area isn't on your list yet) for $30/night. It got counter-offered at $40, but I declined. I went back, added another area that didn't have 2-star hotels available, and bid $35/night. It got accepted! And yes, it was the hotel I was looking for! I called and requested a non-smoking room, which they were very friendly in doing for me. Regularly, $124/night. I got the room for $35/night. Thank you Priceline and thank you BetterBidding! Link to comment
