NicoleFnJane Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 Hi!! Long time no post, I ended up doing a direct booking for my last couple business stays. I’m still shopping for a room for tomorrow in the Overland Park area. Just wanting to confirm that the 2.5 star listed as a PRICELINE EXPRESS deal (mine shows $46 for a queen and $54 for a suite) you’d bet is Holiday Inn Overland Park west. I was planning to book the other express deal for the Aloft which I have previously booked but I am planning to wrap all my Christmas presents on this trip so thought the $10 cheaper price and much larger room may be a huge benefit. Thanks for your help. Link to comment
thereuare Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 Good to see you around the board.

NicoleFnJane Posted December 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 I know this is the Priceline forum but since we are still discussing the same trip. I see a 3 star in Overland Park-Merriam for $51 a night that appears to be the Holiday Inn OPW I initially referenced. Would you mind confirming? Shows 553 reviews. i will create a thread in the Hotwire section if I go that route! also thanks for the warm welcome back - believe it or not I am still playing chicken with hotel rooms for your part of the country in about 4 wks Link to comment
NicoleFnJane Posted December 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 I am much better at decoding Hotwire - haha Link to comment
thereuare Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 If you haven't seen the update yet, our Bidding Helper tool can now ID most hotels for you (so even if you're good at IDing HOTWIRE hotels, the BiddingHelper can confirm your guess and can do it much faster)... 1) search using BiddingHelper.com 2) in the HOTWIRE EASY VIEW tab (or PRICELINE EXPRESS tab) hover your mouse over (or click) the 'FIND MATCH from HOTEL LIST' button 3) the guessed hotel should appear almost instantly More specifically to this hotel: 3* HOTWIRE Overland Park - Merriam for $51 Free parking Free internet Indoor pool(s) Smoke-free rooms Fitness center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business center ==> Holiday Inn Hotel and Suites Overland Park West, KS would be our best guess 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.

NicoleFnJane Posted December 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 Free parking (it's a parking garage too) Free breakfast (I think this is a lie though, last time I stayed there we checked and it wasn't so this time i didn't check) Pets allowed Fitness center Shuttle No Smoking Free internet Pool (it is closed though indefinitely) Link to comment
thereuare Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 Congratulations on your success! Glad to see you received the hotel you were expecting and are happy with the results (if 'Free Breakfast' is a falsehood, at least you were aware of that beforehand) Thank you for sharing your win with the board. Please click the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases. Hope you enjoyed your stay.

NicoleFnJane Posted December 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 I was aware and I wasn’t unhappy cause I’m not a big breakfast person but I try to throw in a little feedback for the next guest because sometimes you never know what details could’ve swayed you to splurge on something just a little more expensive that would’ve been a better fit 🙂 overall I will probably return to aloft leawood despite the things I mentioned! Definitely wanted to point out the closed indoor pool since it could definitely be a dealbreaker for someone looking to swim 🙂 Link to comment
thereuare Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 Yup, thank you for the additional info. If PRICELINE sent you a survey after your stay you may want to mention in it that there was no Free Breakfast, as that is the only way that typically are made aware that there is an incorrect amenity (and even then it takes them awhile to remove it) Thanks again.

NicoleFnJane Posted December 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 Thanks for the tip! I need to pop over and start a New York thread as I am extremely late since my stay is 3 weeks from today Link to comment
thereuare Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 Assuming you're looking at NYC, that's my neck of the woods, so let us know the details of your trip and we'll try to help however we can.
