boots66 Posted May 25, 2006 Report Posted May 25, 2006 We're staying in Winston-Salem 6/30-7/3. We want to be as close to the Millenium center as possible. I searched the fourmu, but didn't find much to go on. The Marriot and Embassy Suites (both on Cherry Street) have NO rooms available, but I'm hoping rooms might be offered on Priceline or Hotwire. Any suggestions? Thanks!
thereuare Posted May 25, 2006 Report Posted May 25, 2006 If the Marriott and/or Embassy Suites are each sold-out it's rare that they would give inventory to the opaque suppliers at a deeply discounted rate.Which zone is the Millenium Center located?What is your maximum bid?

boots66 Posted May 25, 2006 Author Report Posted May 25, 2006 I wasn't sure what the policies were for hotels to give rooms to the discounters. I was hoping the rooms had been already slated for HW or PL before they had sold out.Millennium Center is at the very south end of Zone A. HW has a 3* hotel in Downtown - Coliseum at $88, and 2-star hotel in Winston-Salem South - Clemmons at $139. Obviously the 3* is the better deal, but in this case proximity is the most important thing.
boots66 Posted May 25, 2006 Author Report Posted May 25, 2006 Oops... the 2* was in zone B. They only have the one 3* hotel in Downtown - Coliseum in zone A.
thereuare Posted May 25, 2006 Report Posted May 25, 2006 If you're looking for help identifying the above please include the full list of amenities that Hotwire associates with each.Also, use the actual zone names (Downtown-Coliseum) rather than ZoneA, ZoneB, etc.Thanks.

boots66 Posted May 25, 2006 Author Report Posted May 25, 2006 3-star hotel in Downtown - Coliseum ~ $80Restaurant(s), Pool(s), Fitness Center, High-speed Internet Access, Business Center
boots66 Posted May 25, 2006 Author Report Posted May 25, 2006 Looking in zone "Winston-Salem" -- Anyone have any idea what the 3*(s) might be?
thereuare Posted May 25, 2006 Report Posted May 25, 2006 This hotel has not yet been identified. If i were to take a guess i'd suspect the Holiday Inn would be a likely candidate, but wouldn't rule out the Best Western, Holiday Inn Select, Holiday Inn Express, Marriott, and Hawthorne Inn (in that order).Let us know what you decide to do or if we can be of furhter help.PS- keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread... if you post in the Hotwire area and Priceline is ultimately used we'll then move the entire thread to that section of the board Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases

If I ID. it, I'll post the info here.PS- keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread... if you post in the Hotwire area and Priceline is ultimately used we'll then move the entire thread to that section of the boardGot it. Does that mean the 3* I'm trying to ID on priceline would be the same property as the 3* on Hotwire?
thereuare Posted May 26, 2006 Report Posted May 26, 2006 Does that mean the 3* I'm trying to ID on priceline would be the same property as the 3* on Hotwire?No, but it means that all posts for your 6/30-7/3 stay (or a subset of these dates) should be in this thread... if you ultimately use Priceline we'll then most this entire thread to that section of the board.

boots66 Posted May 27, 2006 Author Report Posted May 27, 2006 No, but it means that all posts for your 6/30-7/3 stay (or a subset of these dates) should be in this thread... if you ultimately use Priceline we'll then most this entire thread to that section of the board. OK. I wasn't sure I'd get any responses as to which hotels Priceline would be offering in that area if I posted on the Hotwire page. I figured more PL users would see it if I posted on that particular board. Seems to be a dearth of info on hotels in this area ,so I wanted to cover every possible angle.A bit late for me to ask this, but is there a separate board altogether I should be using to ask info in? (Still finding my way 'round here)ps -- your nic reminds me of that great scene in _Vampire's Kiss_!
thereuare Posted May 27, 2006 Report Posted May 27, 2006 You're in the right forum for asking questions... if/when successful we'll then change the topic title to reflect the hotel won, zone, price, etc. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
boots66 Posted June 1, 2006 Author Report Posted June 1, 2006 Well...I ended up booking on OneTravel. Got a room @ the Hawthorne Inn for $73 per night. Less than a mile from the Millennium Center, so I'm happy...but I'm not so happy with OneTravel. Strange policies and surly customer service.Sorry I didn't help solve any hotel mysteries this time!
