Hotwire Hotel: Paris (Latin Quarter) "bidding" help

[azisme]

I am looking for a room in Paris in the Latin Quarter-Sorbonne area, or possibly in either the St Germain or Notre Dame area. I would prefer something in the $100 to $150 range before fees. I can go higher if it looks like something I really want. My dates are April 2-6 of 2013. I have used Priceline before, but never Hotwire. With the prevalence of small double beds in Paris I don't feel comfortable bidding on Priceline.

My question is what is the best source for me to learn how to make a reasonably educated guess on what hotels are being offered? I checked the Hotel List on this site but do not see a heading for the Latin Quarter. Any help is greatly appreciated.

OK, I can already see I listed my price limits too low. When I started researching each property currently shown for Latin Quarter on Hotwire these are the properties that were displayed:

$151 - 3.5*

3.5-star Hotel in Latin Quarter - Sorbonne

Free Internet

Boutique Hotel

Laundry Facilities (self-service)

High-Speed Internet Access

$157 - 3* $211

3-star Hotel in Latin Quarter – Sorbonne

Free Breakfast

High-Speed Internet Access

$161 – 2*

2-star Hotel in Latin Quarter - Sorbonne

Free Internet

Smoke Free Rooms

High-Speed Internet Access

Accessible path of travel

In-room accessibility

Accessible bathroom

$206 – 4*

No Amenities Listed

The only one that would be out of my range would be the $206 property.

... but would you also want a 2* hotel? (especially in Europe where the star ratings are a bit more generous then their US counterparts)

My guess for the 3.5* property would be the Villa Pantheon... unfortunately i don't have a guess for the 3* hotel.

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.
