Please help identify.

Also - is there a way to request a certain type of room (i.e., suite)?  In the search request I asked for 2 adults 1 child - does that automatically default to suite?

Thanks!  Tim

Please change the drop down menu on the top right of HOT.WIRE's page to United States and the currency dropdown to US Dollars. Then continue to search HOT.WIRE 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.

In your next reply please include the room rate per nite in US Dollars.

There is no way to request a specific room type when using the 'opaque' side of PRICELINE and HOTWIRE. In almost all circumstances reservations are for 'standard' rooms, although sometimes you can try to upgrade after your purchase (either paid or complimentary) by calling the hotel or asking at check-in what upgrade options are avaialbe. However, whethter the hotel will be willing to upgrade you depends upon a LOT of factors (hotel occupancy, hotel policy, what is available at the time of check-in, mood of the front desk clerk, etc, just to name a few), so an upgrade can't be counted on if you need a specific room for this stay.

 

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... use the HOTWIRE EASY VIEW tab and then click the GREEN BUTTON next to this listing, do you see more amenities then what you have listed above?

Using the method above this is the amenity set i'm seeing for the 3.5* hotel in this zone when searching for your dates and 2adults/1child:

Free Internet

Pet Friendly

Suite

Indoor Pool

Smoke Free

Pool

Restaurant

Laundry

Hi-Speed Internet

Kitchenette

Spa

Room Accessible

Wheelchair Accessible

Bathroom Accessible

Handicapped Parking

Roll-in Shower

If this is what you're seeing, my best guess for this one would be the Century Plaza Hotel and Spa.

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

Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

Hello - I've decided to start a new search... it seems that upgrading to a suite is widely variable in terms of cost.

I may instead try to book 2 rooms and hope for / ask for adjacent suites.

Thanks for your help!  I will post any further winnings/progress.
