thereuare Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 Welcome to BetterBidding!A property with this exact amenity set has not yet been reported to the board, but my best guess for this one would be Mr C. Hotel.However, if you are interested in this hotel for this price i think there is a better way to play it... let us know if you're looking to try to target this property for $257/nite or how you'd like to proceed.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

60614 Posted January 2, 2013 Author Report Posted January 2, 2013 Well, I had guessed that my hotel was the Mirage because it was the only 5* listed, but you are right -- it is actually Mr C, which must be new to the list.I'm okay with the hotel but the price wasn't good at all. $257 for what Hotwire said was a $510 room (Jan 18 - 21), but actually the Mr C reservation website sells the same rooms on the same nights, WITH free wifi, for $294 and it is fully cancellable. So I'm sure the hotel will be fine, but I would say that my first experience of bidding on Hotwire is not a very good discount at all. Hardly any discount when you factor in the free wifi value.Unfortunately I had not seen your reply before I booked. I am okay with the outcome -- it's a decent hotel and a decent rate -- but disappointed in that I thought you get better discounts from Hotwire. Don't know if I'd use it any more.Thanks for your help!
AaronJB Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 Congrats on your success.Sorry to hear that you're disappointed with the result, but glad you are pleased with the hotel. The "retail price" HOTWIRE shows isn't the price of the underlying property, is an average of comparable properties in the area. Thank you for letting us know about the new amenity set and change in star rating for this property so that we can update the site's Hotwire Hotel List.Thank you for sharing your win and please use the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.Enjoy your stay.
