thereuare Posted February 8, 2013 Report Posted February 8, 2013 Welcome to BetterBidding!Best guess for the Marina property would be the Hawaii Prince.For the Waikiki Beach property, best guess would be the Waikiki Parc, with a secondary guess of the Hilton Waikiki Beach.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

MsPam01 Posted February 8, 2013 Author Report Posted February 8, 2013 I was hoping for the Hilton. The price listed for other sites ($293)is closer to their actual price. Waikiki Parc is listed as $205.00 on MOST sites. Is Hotwire in the habit of distorting the prices in order to prevent users from guessing?
AaronJB Posted February 8, 2013 Report Posted February 8, 2013 The retail price shown isn't the price of the underlying hotel - it's an average of comparable hotels in the area for your dates of travel. This is mentioned in the fine print at the bottom of the search page.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
MsPam01 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Posted February 9, 2013 I just won the Outrigger Reef via the Express Deals section on Priceline. It was listed as a 4 1/2 star hotel. ($229.00) per night. I was also able to use the additional 5% discount offered for Express Deals. (I think it expires tonight). Very strange that this deal showed on my cell phone, but was not an option on my desktop??? Thanks for all of your help!P.S. I checked the options on my desktop..when it didn't show up, I RAN to find my cell for immediate booking...I'm just saying.

MsPam01 Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Posted February 10, 2013 I guess I got lucky without even realizing it. Didn't realize that a resort was a higher rated property in comparison to a 4 1/2 star hotel.Thanks again. I hope this info helps someone!Your Hotel Deal is in the Bag!Congratulations.
