Hotwire Hotel: 4* Lucerne Ameron Hotel Flora

[swedishmia]

I tried to bid on 4* on Priceline up to $200 without getting anything...

Then I looked on Hotwire and saw a 4* for $173, it said 100% recommended with breakfast and internet included.

I booked it and it was Ameron Hotel Flora.

However, when I google the hotel, I did find it for less on Agoda.com, it was $165 there....

I called hotwire and they said they would give me a credit of $8 to be used on Hotwire only. I don't think I will

use them again, since I do prefer price line so that credit may never be used.

However, this hotel seems to be great with a perfect location!

Sorry to see this didn't turn out to be much of a 'deal'.

NOTE that if the room rate you found was cheaper than the room rate you purchased on HOTWIRE, the terms of their Best Rate Guarantee allow for a refund of the difference which i think you can ask for instead of the credit to use for a future purchase... if the total price was cheaper elsewhere (but the room rate was cheaper on hotwire) then HOTWIRE is giving a credit as a courtesy and that is all you should expect.

Thank you for sharing your win with the board and helping us add this property to the Hotwire Hotel List..

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.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Enjoy your stay.

I tried to get a credit back to my card since the room rate was less on another site but he said that I could only

receive a credit for future use valid for 1 year. I don't think this hotel is on Price lines "name your own price" because I

did bid up to $200 on a 4* with no luck.

Priceline only had one express deal (without giving the name) for $236 so they were very high for this date....

I assumed I would get Ameron Flora because it said "Accessible path of travel" and I had seen that description on one of the

sites when I did research the hotels...

Not sure if you want to pursue or not but as per the terms of their best rate guarantee:

After verifying the lower rate, we will issue a refund in an amount equal to the difference between your Hotwire rate and the lower rate.
