thereuare Posted May 9, 2017 Report Posted May 9, 2017 Please start by following-up your prior Chicago hotwire hotel thread with whatever you ended up doing for that trip. Please remember to follow-up your threads with your wins/decisions as you make them (even if you don't ultimately use PRICELINE / HOTWIRE, cancel the trip, book direct, etc) as this help keep the board better organized and more useful for everyone... as well as being a courtesy to anyone who took the time to help with your travel plans. For the HOTWIRE offers above I believe there are likely 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. (always use this method for your searches/purchases to ensure you're seeing the complete amenity set and for an easy comparison of PRICELINE vs. HOTWIRE, as well as to use our new IS THIS A GOOD PRICE feature). 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? Also, please indicate how many rooms/adults/children you are including in your search. Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases. Thanks. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases

bassmanrl Posted May 10, 2017 Author Report Posted May 10, 2017 Here are some from Priceline Express. Not sure whats the difference I was a little reluctant because they only show information based on double occupancy. Not sure if this would be a problem. In addition I've never used Priceline 1. Virginia Beach Area Rated 8.0 out of 10 (or higher) $196 3 star Free Parking, Business Center, Restaurant, Free Internet, Indoor or Outdoor Pool, Fitness Center, No Smoking Rooms/Facilities 2.

bassmanrl Posted May 11, 2017 Author Report Posted May 11, 2017 Hi, the Ramada seems to have not so good reviews so we'll skip that one. As for the other two, I would be good trying for the Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Va Beach Oceanfront but just wanted other options. thanks
thereuare Posted May 11, 2017 Report Posted May 11, 2017 bassmanrl, While we're happy to help, researching hotels can be a time consuming process, even if each hotel only takes 3-5 minutes to research (and then longer to type a reply) we're looking at 30-45 minutes for your request above... are all of those hotels realistic possibilities? Given the guessed 3* Holiday Inn at $199/nite with a 90% recommendation by previous HOTWIRE guests is acceptable, are you really going to consider hotels for the same price (or higher) and same star rating (or lower) that have 50% or 65% recommendations?? As for the PRICELINE EXPRESS properties none of these show a 'Bed Choice' that will ensure sleeping accommodations for all 4 members of your family, are you willing to take a risk that you should up at the hotel and have been assigned a room with only one bed? (this is something we should address before taking the time to research these properties) Taking all of the above into consideration this makes this a more manageable list of realistic options, see our best guess and/or comments below: 1. Virginia Beach Oceanfront North area - $ 194 - Hot Rate Condo 3 star ==> 50% recommended 2. 3* Virginia Beach Oceanfront North for $210.00 Free Parking Complimentary Breakfast Free Internet Beachfront Indoor Pool Smoke Free Fitness Pool Business Laundry Hi-Speed Internet Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower ==> Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Va Beach Oceanfront 3. 2.5* Virginia Beach Oceanfront North of Laskin for $156.00 Free Parking Free Internet Near Beach Smoke Free Pool Restaurant Hi-Speed Internet ==> Belvedere Beach Resort 4. Virginia Beach Oceanfront North area - $199 3 star ==> same property already asked and answered above in your original post 5. 3* Virginia Beach Oceanfront South for $210.00 Free Parking Free Internet Indoor Pool Smoke Free Fitness Pool Restaurant Business Laundry Hi-Speed Internet ==> with other options at this price or less i don't think a 65% recommended hotel is going to be one that you likely choose, but my guess here would be the Four Points By Sheraton Virginia Beach Oceanfront if this should be of more interest to you than the others for some reason Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

Any help would greatly be appreciated. 1. 75% Virginia Beach Oceanfront North - $209 3 star FULL AMENITIES: Free parking, Free Internet, Indoor pool(s), Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Self-service laundry, Internet access, Kitchenette, Spa services 2. 80% Virginia Beach Oceanfront South - $188 3 star FULL AMENITIES: Free parking, Free Internet, Beachfront hotel, Indoor pool(s), Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Self-service laundry, Internet access, Golf nearby, Accessible for visually impaired, Accessible for hearing impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking, Roll-in shower 3. 90% Virginia Beach Oceanfront North - $244 3 star - I'm guessing this is probably the same as above "Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Va Beach Oceanfront" (previously $210) ???? FULL AMENITIES: Free parking, Free Internet, Resort, Beachfront hotel, Indoor pool(s), Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Self-service laundry, Internet access, Accessible for visually impaired, Accessible for hearing impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking, Roll-in shower thanks in advance
thereuare Posted June 7, 2017 Report Posted June 7, 2017 Before asking for help please wait until your plans are firm and you're ready to make a purchase as you can see many of the original offers have changed (and your dates have changed, which will also likely change many of the previous results researched).

bassmanrl Posted June 7, 2017 Author Report Posted June 7, 2017 Thanks I understand where u are coming from. Something came up and I had no choice but to wait. It wasn't on purpose. I just have one more before I make my decision 2.5 star $170 95% FULL AMENITIES: Free parking, Free Internet, Near beach, Smoke-free rooms, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Internet access Virginia Beach Oceanfront North of Laskin
AaronJB Posted June 8, 2017 Report Posted June 8, 2017 2.5* Virginia Beach Oceanfront North of Laskin for $156.00 Free Parking Free Internet Near Beach Smoke Free Pool Restaurant Hi-Speed Internet ==> A guess would be the Belvedere Beach Resort.

bassmanrl Posted June 8, 2017 Author Report Posted June 8, 2017 Hi I can't find the price of $156. Was that a typo? thanks Richie
thereuare Posted June 8, 2017 Report Posted June 8, 2017 I think $156 is when searching HOTWIRE for 2adults/0children... it's $170 when searching for 4adults.

bassmanrl Posted June 8, 2017 Author Report Posted June 8, 2017 The one that is guessed the belvedere for $170. I went through the bidding helper. I didn't go through that one cause it was more

thereuare Posted June 9, 2017 Report Posted June 9, 2017 I know of one other user who was having a similar issue yesterday. If you can see the same offer thru this HOTWIRE link i would take it, even if a few dollars more (as i suspect this property may no longer be available and HOTWIRE is therefore unable to process the transaction, but you're getting a general error message rather than one that is actually descriptive of the actual problem). Have you maybe tried a different credit card OR used the PayPal option? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
bassmanrl Posted June 9, 2017 Author Report Posted June 9, 2017 Thanks for all your help. I was able to get it with the other HOTWIRE link. It cost a few bucks more but no big deal. I got the Belvedere Beach Resort. Again. Thanks for your help!!!
thereuare Posted June 9, 2017 Report Posted June 9, 2017 Congratulations on your success! Glad to see you were successful and were able to secure this deal... the hotel gets good reviews so better to not mess with this over a few dollars and have it disappear from the search results. Thank you for sharing your win with the board and helping us add this property to the Hotwire Hotel List. Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
