KarenW Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Hi, I am going to Tampa 2/17 - 2/20, if I can end up with a good price. Looking at Hotwire, I see a 4* Westshore - Tampa Airport - South Tampa with the following amenities:Shuttle, Restaurant, Pool, Fitness Center, High-speed Internet Access, Golf nearby, Tennis nearby, Business Center.The rate on Hotwire is $141. I am not sure yet if I am going to take this one, or bid for a 4* on Priceline. (I am kinda excited about trying Priceline - thanks to you guys!) I just couldn't find a match on this hotel in the list. A few days ago, the cheapest 4* on Hotwire was $258 for these same days. I was so suprised to see the prices drop so much, that I just had to take the chance and ask if you could tell what this hotel might be.Thanks so much for this board! And thanks for being so friendly - makes a newbie not so afraid to ask questions! When I get ready to buy/bid, I'll be sure to go through savingsbarn.com Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Welcome to BetterBidding!This is a match for the Grand Hyatt (with new amenities) so that would be our best guess.
