rossm Posted August 20, 2012 Report Posted August 20, 2012 Can the expert help us out here.....Hotwire has this 2.5 central Waikiki listed for $81 from 8/29-9/4:2.5-star Hotel in Central WaikikiThis Hotel features the following amenities:Near BeachProperty is located within easy walking distance of a beach.Smoke Free RoomsGuest rooms at this hotel are always smoke-free.Pool(s)Property offers at least one pool area; hours and dates of operation may be seasonal.Restaurant(s)Property offers at least one restaurant on the premises; hours and days of operation may vary.Business CenterGuests have access to business equipment and services; an additional charge may apply.I can't get any sense of what it might be from Better Bidding or independent research.....I'm hoping you may know.Generally we're happy to pay up to $110 in either Waikiki Central or Waikiki Beach - and would like as many stars as possible (like everyone) but I am finding it really tricky.....MUCH thanks -Ross
thereuare Posted August 20, 2012 Report Posted August 20, 2012 If you go back to HOTWIRE and click the 'Show Me' button next to this offer (the one with the price in it), then on the ensuing page click the 'See all' link under the amenities, do you see more than what you've include above?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

rossm Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Posted August 20, 2012 After the Business Center the remaining amenities for this 2.5 star prop in central Waikiki are listed below.....apologies I thought you really just needed the main/first ones......Laundry Facilities (self-service)<amenity names only please... not descriptions>Golf NearbyProperty is located within walking distance or a short drive of at least one golf course; an extra charge typically applies.Tennis NearbyProperty is located within walking distance or a short drive of at least one tennis court; an extra charge typically applies.Accessible for the blindBraille or raised signageAccessible for the deafTTY for telephone, visual or flashing fire alarm and vibrating alarm clockAccessible path of travel<amenity names only please... not descriptions>In-room accessibilityAccessible path from the room entrance to the window, the bed and the bathroom; accessible hardware and minimal resistance to open the door; accessible temperature controls and window coveringsAccessible bathroomRaised toilet, hand-held shower and grab bars at the tub and toiletHandicapped parking<amenity names only please... not descriptions>Roll-in showerBathroom has a roll-in shower This 2.5 property is recommended by 70% of Hotwire folk - so I'm not sure if that should be a consideration too.......The reason I ask is there is also a 2 star in central Waikiki for $96 per night (so not much more) that has a 85% recommended rating from Hotwire folk - so perhaps this would be a better choice. I also have no idea at all what this one is unfortunatley, however the amenities are:2-star Hotel in Central WaikikiThis Hotel features the following amenities:Near BeachProperty is located within easy walking distance of a beach.Laundry Facilities (self-service)<amenity names only please... not descriptions>Free Internet<amenity names only please... not descriptions>Accessible path of travel<amenity names only please... not descriptions>In-room accessibilityAccessible path from the room entrance to the window, the bed and the bathroom; accessible hardware and minimal resistance to open the door; accessible temperature controls and window coveringsAccessible bathroomRaised toilet, hand-held shower and grab bars at the tub and toiletHandicapped parking<amenity names only please... not descriptions>Roll-in showerBathroom has a roll-in showerThank you very much for whatever guidance you can offer.Ross
thereuare Posted August 21, 2012 Report Posted August 21, 2012 Please post only the amenity names (and not the descriptions) as you can see how much easier it is to read and helps minimize the chance that we'll miss an amenity when researching your trip.2.5* Central Waikiki Near Beach Smoke Free Pool Restaurant Business Laundry Golf Tennis Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower2* Central Waikiki Near Beach Laundry Free Internet Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in ShowerBest guess for the 2.5* would be the Castle Maile Sky Court while for the 2* my guess would be the Aqua Island Colony.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.

rossm Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Posted August 22, 2012 Much thanks again for your savvy help. You've always been great.As it turns out, through research, I found the Maile Sky Hotel even cheaper, than with blind bidding on HOTWIRE, on the hotel's own website and even a little cheaper again at another travel site. We booked there with with cancellation flexibility up to 72 hrs before. Also the 2 star became more expensive, so we ruled that out.Thanks again!Ross
