we4intx Posted February 17, 2006 Report Posted February 17, 2006 Wanted to get feedback on 3* and/or 4* hotels in Dallas north. Currently have reservation at Westin Park Central. Need to be in North area.Any recent bidders have luck?

we4intx Posted February 17, 2006 Author Report Posted February 17, 2006 Current rate is at around $110 per night for 2 nights.Thanks.
thereuare Posted February 17, 2006 Report Posted February 17, 2006 I'm assuming it's the (Galleria - Dallas North) zone you need to be in? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
we4intx Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Posted February 18, 2006 yesssir/mam....that is correct.
thereuare Posted February 18, 2006 Report Posted February 18, 2006 One more question... what is more important: Priceline or Star Rating? (would you rather pay more for a 4* hotel or less for a 3* property?) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
we4intx Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Posted February 18, 2006 Looking for best value. Would prefer 4* hotel at best rate and compare with a strong 3*. For example, would probably consider a 4* at $80 vs. a 3* at $65. Also, if I can select my 4* and/or 3* at these types of rates and stay where I prefer, that would be best. I am not locked into using Priceline.
thereuare Posted February 18, 2006 Report Posted February 18, 2006 I think i'm now more confused than i was before :) Here's the bottomline...There is a 4* on Hotwire for $60 for which our best guess is the Hilton, Omni, or Inter-Continental. There is a 3.5* for $56 for which our best guess is the Doubletree or the Wyndham.Do you want to go with one of the above or go with Priceline?

we4intx Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Posted February 18, 2006 Sorry for confusion....for xtra $4 would go with the 4* chance. Any experience on 4* at less $ thru Priceline?
