Phil1336 Posted February 13, 2013 Report Posted February 13, 2013 Initially wanted to Priceline Bid on 2* Quality Hotel on Ave du Parc which was recently Won for $65 @ Night for June. Got scared off with possibility of getting (very) low-end other Hotel properties listed as possible 2* selections. Booked it direct with Hotel at $109 @ Night which was a much better rate then Choice Hotels Web Site which "promises" Lowest possible Rate, not so! Checked back 2 days later with Priceline "Express No-Bid Deals" and also with Hotwire. Hotwire had 3.5* Hotel with 90% Review ratings for $84 * night. Listed only (2) Rooms available. Claimed that the same Property on the Show the Name of the Hotel site was $168@ night. Narrowed down the possibilities with the listed features, 3.5 * rating and (excellent) review ratings and it looked like either Hilton Garden Hotel or Hotel Du Fort. Very happy with this Win! $410.94 for 4 nights including all Fee`s and Taxes in US Dollars. PS: After the purchase, I returned to Hotwire Site, showed only (1) Room left! Priceline lists Hotel Du Fort as 3* and Hotwire lists it at 3.5* which is typical.
