thereuare Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 For each property above 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? If the same hotel is not appearing in the BiddingHelper.com then you'll need to see the complete amenities associated with each you will need to do the following:1) search HOTWIRE and select the offer from the search results page2) click the BOOK NOW button3) in the TRIP SUMMARY BOX click the 'See more' link at the end of the amenitiesPlease use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases. (and ask your friend to use the links if she will be doing the bidding/purchase on her own)Thanks.

cntrfieldsmom Posted December 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Thanks for your help...I will be bidding with her sitting next to me. Hopefully today. I will let you know. Link to comment
cntrfieldsmom Posted December 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 She decided to go with the *4 star HOTWIRE that you thought was the Sheraton. You were indeed correct! She's super happy. It was one of the hotels she has really liked since we've been looking. The resort fee was steep but she wanted to get something booked. Thanks for your help. She started from your HOTWIRE link. Link to comment

jenny9049 Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Thanks to the above. I was wondering...how do you find out if the hotel has a resort fee? is it hidden somewhere on hotwire? Link to comment
