I use PL almost exclusively compared to HW. Somewhere I thought I read that HW might reveal either resort fees or parking fees or both. This might be valuable for guessing the hotel, but I would like to know for anticipating total costs. I know PRICELINE EXPRESS Deals identifies free parking as an amenity, does HW ever reveal that info. What are the advantages of HW vs. PL Exp. Deals?

Thanks for your help.

HOTWIRE does use 'Free Parking' as a listed amenity and for most hotels that show resort fees they provide this information as well.

PRICELINE EXPRESS is priceline's version of the HOTWIRE product, and there are pros/cons to each, but for the most part HOTWIRE provides more information about the hotel but often costs a little more than PRICELINE EXPRESS.

A property with the exact amenities above has not yet been reported to the board, but my guess would be a new amenity set for the Hilton Irvine-Orange County.

Let us know how you decide to proceed and how goes or if we can be of further help.

Thank you for your response. We will likely be at Disney Friday/Saturday, but within 15-minutes is fine.

I just noticed that Angel's Stadium under PL now has a 4*. You do not list a 4* in this zone. Any guesses?

[thereuare]

The highest star rating currently offered in the Angels Stadium zone is 3 stars... are you sure that is the only zone that is selected on your PRICELINE page?

Yes, my screw up. Clicking radio buttons too fast. Sorry!

I was working on this bid with my brother and decided to use points to get the property he wanted (Courtyard Santa Ana), so we ended up using Hotels.com to get that exact hotel with the beds/breakfast we needed.

Thanks for your help.

I am going to start a new post for the next three nights in San Diego for 4-rooms.
