There is only one 3* option via each procedure, the amenities are the same, yet the price and guest rating are different??? Romelle Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Occasionally the two tabs will return different results (ie- you can also access the PRICELINE EXPRESS using the PRICELINE tab and then clicking the 'Book a hotel Express Deal' link within the text near the top of the bidding page), and although the amenities are the same for each, these are indeed different properties. Do you have a trip for these dates (or were you just browsing around, as i know you like to do sometimes ;) ) Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

Romelle Posted May 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 I actually have a trip planned for these dates. I was thinking of doing the $96 one with the 5% discount. I'd be curious to know what your best guess is for it. Yes, I often am just browsing. But I've booked air and a cruise for this one. Romelle Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 For the $96/nite 3* with: Free Breakfast Free Internet in room Outdoor Pool Business Center Fitness Center ... my guess would be the Holiday Inn Express San Juan Condado Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.
