thereuare Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Welcome to BetterBidding!I believe there are more amenities then what you have posted above as HOTWIRE has a new interface that does not show the complete set of amenities unless you click thru a few extra links.If you repeat your search using our BiddingHelper.com tool, and then click the HOTWIRE EASY VIEW tab, do you see more amenities then what you have listed above? Following the above this is the amenity set i see for the 3.5* hotel in this zone when searching for your dates:Free Internet Pet Friendly Smoke Free Fitness Pool Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Golf Tennis If this is what you're seeing, this property has not yet been reported to the board, but my guess would be the Pan Pacific Whistler Mountainside. Even if we're wrong with this guess, this property has an excellent 4.5/5.0 TA rating so quality shouldn't be an issue, imo.Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.Let us know what you decide to do and how it goes or if we can be of further help with this stay.

browngeek Posted October 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Hi, thanks for your help, price seems to have gone up to about US$224 a night, the amenities listed are: Free Internet Pet friendly Smoke Free Rooms Fitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business Center Internet access Golf Nearby Tennis NearbyIn the end I've actually ended up booking another hotel, the Aava Whistler, as I was able to get it for US$135 a night all inclusive. I will however keep an eye using the Better Bidding tool as the Aava has free cancellation. I will report back if I have further success with Better Bidding.Thanks for your assistance.

browngeek Posted October 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 HiWas just checking Hotwire again via your better bidding link and noticed the following four star property for US$337 a night: Resort Pet friendly Slopeside Fitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business Center Self service laundry Internet access Golf Nearby Tennis Nearby Spa Services Accessible for the blind Accessible for the deaf Accessible path of travel In-room accessibility Accessible bathroom Handicapped parking Roll-in shower4.5 out of 5.0 Tripadvisor rating, but don't know if its the Fairmont or the Hilton. Seems both have very similar facilities and ratings, but the Fairmont regular price is much higher!!!Apologies if I should have started a new thread. Link to comment
thereuare Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Continuing this thread is correct, all posts for the same stay/dates go in the same thread.This is 4* rated by HOTWIRE and in the Whistler Village South?If so, my best guess for this one would be the Hilton Whistler Resort and Spa.Are you willing to pay $300+ for a room for this trip?Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

browngeek Posted October 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Hello, thanks again. Yes, listed as 4 star by HOTWIRE in Whistler Village South.If it was the Fairmont, I may consider at $300+!! But probably not for the Hilton. Link to comment
thereuare Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 The Fairmont Chateau wouldn't be in the Whistler Village South zone so this offer wouldn't be that property.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
