Please change the drop down menu on the top right of HOTWIRE's page to United States and the currency dropdown to US Dollars. Then continue to search HOTWIRE and post to the board in US Dollars so that rates are consistent and not subject to interpretation due to future currency fluctuation. Once you're ready to purchase stay on the US version of their site and simply change the drop down menu to whatever currency you'd like to use and complete your purchase.

Using the method above, what is the room rate per nite in US Dollars?

My guess would be the Renaissance, with a slightly different amenity set than has been previously seen.

Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

YES, it was Renaissance! Thank you!

Sorry for the previous post with wrong $/night. See below of my confirmed pricing.

Summary Of Charges:

2 Nights Hotwire hot Rate Room@ $102.00/Night $204.00

Tax recovery charges & fees: $34.42

Subtotal: $238.42

Trip Total: $238.42

Needed two rooms but the price quoted would only allow me to book one room... tried adding an additional room but it was at regular price of $219/night. Will there be another special pricing like this again?

Thank you!

Congrats on your success. :)

Very nice win for this Renaissance property and thank you for letting us know about the change in amenity set so that we can update the site's Hotwire Hotel List.

Was the original listing not showing when you searched for two rooms? Do you see a different 4* in the zone when searching now?

Unfortunately, if inventory is out there's no way to know if more discounted inventory for a particular hotel will be added.

Thank you for sharing your win and using the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.

Enjoy your stay.

What appears to be the same property is offered on HOTWIRE individually:

3/14 - $102/nite

3/15 - $179/nite

OPTION ONE:

If you're interested in this property at $141/nite you could do a HOTWIRE search for each of the dates above individually, make sure the current rates are the same and all the information for each property matches, then go ahead and make each purchase.

POSSIBLE RISK(s)

After making the first purchase the second hotel is no longer available/offered

Receive a different hotel for each leg of the purchase

OPTION TWO:

Purchase the first nite at the discounted $102/nite rate and wait it out hopinng for lower priced inventory in the weeks ahead.

POSSIBLE RISK(s)

The second nite may never go on sale again, so if you do book the first nite, also book a FULLY REFUNDABLE reservation for the 2nd nite if you're not willing to change hotels mid-stay.

CORRECTION: Sorry I just noticed the dates on my 1st post are wrong (oops!). My travel dates are 3/7/14-3/9/14 Friday to Sunday for a pre-cruise stay.

Got Renaissance AGAIN for the second room!

Tried Sat-Sun night (3/8-3/9) first and got it for $102. Then I picked the option to add a night before it and it showed $175 (3/7-3/8) which I accepted and booked as this is still a great deal (hotel's website was listed for $219/night).

Details below:

Check-out: Sat Mar 8, 2014

Rate per night: $175.00

Nights: 1

Rooms: 1

Tax recovery charges & fees: $31.76
