Hotwire Hotel: 3.5* Altoona Prairie Meadows Hotel

[hohogap]

Looks like a new hotel reported to the Board as I couldn't see either this zone or hotel previously reported for HOTWIRE (or PRICELINE, for that matter). I had booked this hotel (through the BB links) as a refundable reservation through PRICELINE at $144/night, plus tax, so saved nearly $100 on the 2 nights. The hotel's web site shows no rooms available, so this is a great deal for a late booking, especially in this area of Des Moines, right near my family. And with the Preakness being simulcast this Saturday, an even better deal to be right at this casino and off-track betting site in Iowa! Here's the results of HOTWIRE's hot Deal:

Rate per night:

HotPricePerNight:$103.00

Nights:2

Rooms: 1

Tax recovery charges & fees: $40.78

Subtotal: $246.78

And, as always, all searches, bids, booking AND WINS are made through the BB Big Board PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links!

And as a quick follow-up, the Hotwire "hotel hints" showed 3 hotels, 2 of which were downtown Des Moines and not even close to the Altoona area. The third hotel listed was the hotel I received, Prairie Meadows. Plus, the star rating matched up perfectly with Hotwire's refundable rate of $144/night. Sometimes it can work out identifying the exact hotel you are bidding on (and sometimes not, I understand) but especially where there are limited hotels in an area.

Congratulations on your success!

Glad to see this one worked out well for you and that you're happy with the results.

Can you please add a reply to this thread with the amenities shown before your purchase... you can still view this information by going to HOTWIRE and clicking the MY ACCOUNT link near the top right of their home page.

Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board and for sharing your results, helping us add this property to the Hotwire Hotel List for this area.

Thanks.

When I click on my account and this booking at Hotwire, it just shows terms of use and rate. I don't see the ammenities cited. Where should I click to obtain the ammenities to send to you?

Sounds like this property didn't show any amenities before purchase (as some don't)... thanks for the follow-up!
