Priceline Hotel: Pittsburgh (Downtown) Need help for 11/23/12 to 11/25/12

[par1000]

Need help in figuring out what the hotel I am getting from Hotwire. Used the HOTWIRE links on the board to begin my search.

Currently getting a 4 star hotel for $94 a day with the following info:

- 90% hotwire customer review

- Fitness Center

- Restaurant(s)

- Business Center

- High-Speed Internet Access

- Accessible path of travel

- In-room accessibility

- Accessible bathroom

- Handicapped parking

- <amenity names only please... not descriptions>

Is it the Renaissance or Westin? As i don't think it is the Omni. Any help would be appreciated.

My guess is that this is a new amenity set for the Westin, but if you are interested in this property there is a better way to play it, imo.

Let us know how if/how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there.

Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have also tried the PRICELINE link as well with 4 star and i started at $60 and went up to $85 till i gave up.

I have stayed at the Sheraton Station Square and would love to stay at the property again. Any help to get a good deal would be appreciated.

The Sheraton is currently 3.5* by PRICELINE so that was not an option for your 4* bidding above. However, you can't bid on a specific hotel when using PRICELINE, you have to be able to accept any hotel in the zone at the star level (or higher) that you choose. (and with the Sheraton rate of $267/nite for your dates it's probably not a likely win at sub-$85 thru either service)

Is another $10/nite not worth it to you for a 4* hotel for this trip? Is $85 your maximum bid?

I don't mind payming the extra 10/night to $95 but i can get what seems to be the Westin fro $94 off hotwire. Your suggestion as to how i should proceed would be great.

When bidding 4* in Pittsburgh you have TWELVE re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.

Select 4* Downtown...

Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone..

Bid $68, if rejected add re-bid zone..

Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone..

Bid $73, if rejected add re-bid zone..

Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone..

Bid $78, if rejected add re-bid zone..

Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone..

Bid $88, if rejected add re-bid zone..

Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone..

Bid $93, if rejected add re-bid zone..

Bid $95

If the above is rejected i would take the 4* HOTWIRE offer for $95 with:

Fitness

Restaurant

Business

Hi-Speed Internet

Travel Accessible

Room Accessible

Bathroom Accessible

Handicapped Parking

Which even if not the Westin has an excellent 4.5/5.0 rating across the board for all the criteria HOTWIRE asks previous guests to rate.

Any questions feel free to ask.

Good luck and let us know how it goes or how we can be of further help.
