TRVLADCT Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 The Hot Rate price is listed next to a crossed out rate and given a percentage of savings. It the crossed out price a valid variable to use in figuring out which hotel it is? For example, there are five 4 star hotels in an area and the HotRate is listed next to crossed out $331 and says it's a 45% discount. Only one of the five possibilities has rooms within a few dollars of $331, the ratings and amenties match so it is probably that hotel? Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Welcome to BetterBidding! The crossed out rate shown by HOTWIRE is not necessarily the regular retail rate of the hotel being offered, it's based upon an average rate of hotels of that star rating in the zone. Direct from HOTWIRE's website: Quote *Savings based on median published rate we've found on leading retail travel sites in the last 24-48 hours for the same neighborhood, hotel class, and stay dates. Search using our BiddingHelper.com tool and in the EASY VIEW tab click the GREEN 'What Hotel Is This?' button. If the hotel is not identified, or you find a hotel you like but would like a second option/confirmation, ask the board for help as we have gotten very good over the years at researching and identifying hotels. 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. Where is it you're traveling to? What are your dates of travel, desired budget, and/or anything specific needs you have for this trip? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
