Hotwire Hotel: 4.5 star on BI's Kohala Coast?

Hotwire lists a 4.5 star hotel on the Big Island's Kohala coast. What is this property? It also lists a 5 star property, but from looking at the hotel list on betterbidding.com, it appears the 5 star is either the Hapuna Prince or the Mauna Kea. Why does the price flucuate on the 5 star? I've been watching the past couple of days and I've seen the price range from $158 to $180. Thanks....Matt

mjz,

Welcome to BetterBidding!

If you'd like help identifying the 4.5 star hotel, please supply the dates that are bringing up this hotel as well as the amenities shown.

Hotwire's rates fluctuate from day-to-day, and sometimes even search-to-search. It could be lower/higher inventory available at the exact moment you searched, but is more likely something else... maybe their motive is that if they lower the price slightly somebody may 'act' where they otherwise would have waited, maybe increasing the rate will get somebody to act once the rate goes back down on a subsequent search OR get them to act immediatley thinking "the price is going up, i better act now!"

We're not quite sure how Hotwire determines which property to show you on a given search or why prices can fluctuate frequently. Another possibility is that there are two hotels with the same exact rating and amenities, but different prices, and with each search you are actually seeing a different hotel (this is the least likely, although possible).
