JessieM Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 You get compensated for the searches, too?! Did not know. I have a LOT of searching to do this week. :D Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 The Crowne Plaza Fairfield would be my best guess for this one.Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

JessieM Posted March 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 It seemed more helpful to put this in a new thread, but let me know if I should have appended it.2.5-star Secaucus - MeadowlandsSame dates: 4/27 and 28$98/3 people95% recommendedFree ParkingFree BreakfastIndoor pool(s)Pool(s)Accessible bathroomHandicapped parking Says it costs $154 on other sites: Could this be the Secaucus La Quinta? (That's the direct price on its Web site; The Clifton LQ is only $105 direct.) Any thoughts on whether this is better than Crown Plaza Fairfield at $100 (which you suspect in my other search)? Both have free parking and Internet. LQ would come with fridges and microwaves, plus free breakfast. We're doing a concert in Montclair on the 28th and then one in the City on the 29th (leaving immediately after for D.C.)Interestingly, changing it to 2 people (I've been searching 3 people to ensure two beds) gets this. Do you think it's the Clifton La Quinta instead? Would it not show up for 3 people because they have no rooms with two beds left?

thereuare Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread.For consistency please post your dates as check-in/check-out rather 4/26 and 4/27 as it makes it easier to follow.I'm only seeing the second property listed regardless of whether i search for 2adults or 3adults... my guess for this one would be the La Quinta Inn and Suites Clifton would be a likely candidate for this one.Some hotels don't offer their rooms to the opaque providers for more than double occupancy as making them 'run of house' reservations (and room type assigned at check-in) gives them more flexibility to manage their room inventory.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

JessieM Posted March 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 I still see the first one (2.5-stars, $98/3 people, 95% recommendation, $154 on other sites). The dates are 4/27 check-in and 4/29 check-out. (Could you have searched one day earlier, given the dates you typed above?)Thanks for the "run of the house" explanation. :) Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 No, still seeing only the second property, even when confirming i'm searching for 3adults from 4/27-4/29.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

JessieM Posted March 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Why do I continue to get the result and you don't? (I'm searching for "Montclair, NJ" if that could *possibly* make a difference. Check-in 4/27, check-out 4/29. 1 room. 3 adults.)The result, again, is:2.5-star Secaucus - Meadowlands$98/3 people95% recommended$154 on other sitesFree ParkingFree BreakfastIndoor pool(s)Pool(s)Accessible bathroomHandicapped parking Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Sometimes HOTWIRE will show different results to different users for the same search... it could be due to their algorithm of what hotel(s) to show when two (or more) hotels are close in price to one another, or it could be a test on their end trying to determine what offers will increase conversions, etc. etc.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

JessieM Posted March 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 But unfortunately you won't comment on what you think it is, since you can't see it? Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I have looked at this property based upon the information provided and am not able to gain any insight.If it appears on my search i can dig deeper and investigate further, but as i can't see it i'm unable to gain any additional clues by which to search by. I did just search again and am still seeing a different property.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

AaronJB Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 If you go back to HOTWIRE and click the red SHOW ME button next to this offer (the one with the price in it), then on the ensuing page click the 'See all' link under the amenities, do you see more than what you've posted above?Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

(The hotel has appeared and disappeared from my search a couple of times... it's currently gone right now for me.) Link to comment
AaronJB Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I'm seeing a 3* in this zone for these date/s when searching for two people:w/Free Parking Pet friendly Indoor pool(s) Smoke Free Rooms Fitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business Center High-Speed Internet Access Golf Nearby The full amenity set only appears when clicking "see details" to go to the detail page and then clicking "see all amenities".This listing has not yet been ID'd, but my guess for this particular amenity set would be a new amenity set for the Sheraton.Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

JessieM Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I've seen that one, too. Thanks for that!The hotel that has disappeared/reappeared definitely had the 100% rating, and only those amenities. Link to comment
JessieM Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Decided to bid on Priceline (dates still 4/27 check-in, 4/29 check-out).West Orange was our first choice. I'd already failed yesterday going up to $120 for the 3.5-star Wilshire Grand.I took it down to 3 stars today, starting at 60 in West Orange. Added a re-bid zone of West Jersey City for $65. Added Meadowlands-Rutherford at $70, which was accepted by the 3.5-star Sheraton. Total with taxes for two days: $170.10. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Congrats on your success. :)Nice win, and hope you are looking forward to your stay.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.
