For the first property 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 search using the EASY VIEW TAB of our BiddingHelper.com tool.

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 (including any accessible amenities) then what you have listed above?

 

In regards to the second property, do you really want to stay at a hotel where less than half of those staying on a discounted rate would recommend the hotel?

 

What are your needs and maximum budget (before taxes/fees) for this trip?

Hi, Thanks for your reply. To answer your questions:

 

I have opened the biddinghelper.com before, but it gives a warning about Priceline not covering more than 2 people. So I have generally closed the tab at that point.  I may have known at one point that this tool also worked for Hotwire but didn't know how to find it again.

 

Why I would consider a hotel with a 40 percent approval rating?  In this case, there were only 7 reviews, which  is not enough to be reliable.  My thought was, if I could figure out which hotel it was, I would go find a bigger sampling of reviews on another travel site.  Also, I have found that some people give negative reviews of modest hotels because they expect the Ritz. 

 

Okay.. on to revised search results, which included a third option today:  

 

3* Latin Quarter - Sorbonne $168/night 

FULL AMENITIES: Free Internet, Pet friendly, Internet access

upon clicking through, additional info:

HOT RATE HOTEL

Latin Quarter - Sorbonne area

85 percent recommended

 

2* Opera Garnier - Galeries Lafayette - St Lazare  -$105/night

FULL AMENITIES: Pet friendly, Smoke-free rooms, Internet access

40 percent recommended.

Odd: When you click through, the rate is then listed as $106 instead of $105.  

 

 

3* Opera Garnier - Galeries Lafayette - St Lazare $125/night

55% recommended

FULL AMENITIES: Free Internet, Internet access

 

 

Thanks so much for your help reviewing these listings.
