travelAlot Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Howdy, a bit stumped (although hardly ever) and hoping you may have insight on this. For 4* Market Center/Love Field zone, I'm hoping to get Warwick Melrose as its on public transportation line -- and in a neighborhood with lost of restaurants and the like (other properties almost require rental car and are not among a lot of stuff.) Priceline Express deals is showing only these amenities with guest rating of 8*: Business Center Restaurant Free Internet No Smoking Rooms/Facilities The price displayed is $85 with a retail rate of $157. There are three possibilities (all have guest rating in the 8s): Warwick Melrose (retail rate $163) Renaissance Dallas hotel (retail rate $159) Hilton Anatole (retail rate $169) Also, FWIW that Pool and Fitness Facility are not stated amenities, which would lead to Warwick. But as all hotels are 8*+ and PL doesn't have to state all amenities, I'm not comfortable guessing and being wrong. Additionally, I tried a dummy VP and order of cheapest Air-hotel packages came back with Anatole (with Anatole cheapest by far - by $150+ - and then Ren and then Warwick. Thoughts? I'm really hesitant as this'd be a 2-day vaca and need to be somewhat central to be able to come-go and pit-stop fairly quickly. Otherwise I'll stay downtown (when rates drop a bit or gulp and stay at Crowne Plaza via Hotwire). Thank you in advance. (And of course any purchase or bid will be via your PRICELINE / HOTWIRE links as always.) Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 I would learn towards the Renaissance Dallas Hotel, but with such a limited set of amenities, i can't be certain. What property is it that you do want (or are trying to avoid)? Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

travelAlot Posted September 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Thanks, that's what I was thinking...kind of risky. Even if an amenity is omitted, it doesn't mean you won't get a hotel that has that amenity or amenities. Trying to avoid a location that isn't easily connected to public transit and is in a decent walkable area (to-from transit)...Market Center would be a disaster but Oaklawn or downtown would be perfect. I already have Plan B for downtown, probably going to wait it out (got Sheraton last year as it got closer (within about a week of arrival)...as hoping to avoid Crowne Plaza which is cheap now on Hotwire.

travelAlot Posted September 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Thanks, will do. Interesting variable is now on mobile PRICELINE shows Pool and Gym/Spa as amenities, validating Ren and eliminating Warwick. Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 So does the Renaissance work for you this trip?

travelAlot Posted September 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Nah, Renaissance is horrible option and what I was trying to avoid (along with Hilton Anatole)...Warwick or not at all in that zone. Will probably book Hotwire downtown property instead, so there won't be additional follow up from me on this thread. I will post the Hotwire win if goes as expected. Thanks again for your help.

travelAlot Posted September 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Pretty identifiable (as 3.5* plus TripAdvisor rating in correlating to retail rates). So with the BB $15 off link, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't do much better (maybe a better hotel but just wanted to get this out of the way). This hotel's pricing started at $66-67 on Hotwire for a couple weeks, jumped into the mid-upper $70s, then back to the current $64. Amenities: Free Internet Pet friendly Smoke-free rooms Fitness center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business center Self-service Laundry Internet access Golf nearby Accessibility: Accessible for visually impaired Accessible for hearing impaired Accessible path of travel In-room accessibility Accessible bathroom Accessible parking Roll-in shower Rate per night $64.00 Nights 2 Rooms ( 2 adults ) 1 Subtotal $128.00 Tax recovery charges + fees $30.23 Discount -$15.00 (thanks, Better Bidding!!!) Hotwire total $143.23 Link to comment
AaronJB Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Congrats on your success. Definitely a really nice rate for this property and the $15 off brings it down further. Glad you are pleased with the win and are looking forward to your stay. Thank you for sharing your win and using the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches. Enjoy your stay. Link to comment
