dahammer Posted August 24, 2008 Report Posted August 24, 2008 Welcome to BetterBidding!The amenities for the 4* match those of the Crowne Plaza and the 3* match those of the Holiday Inn. Don't know why HOTWIRE lists the Crowne Plaza as such: Beachfront: Property is located on the beach. Oceanfront: Property is located along the ocean, but not directly on a beach. For example, the hotel may be situated on a bluff along the coastline. to determine a final price, you may want to call each hotel and check if they charge any nusiance fees such as resort fees. The Crowne Plaza is located in a gated plantation (If I recall correctly) and is in a quieter, more secluded setting. The Holiday Inn is right off Coligny Circle and within walking distance to Coligny Plaza, a shopping center with many restaurants, shops, and a Piggly Wiggly, but some of the reviews of the HI indicate its a bit whipped. I wish I were in HH right now!Good Luck, if you proceed with this purchase, please use this HOTWIRE link.
Robin Coolidge Posted August 25, 2008 Author Report Posted August 25, 2008 Great, thanks! That helps!Knowing I could get a resort for $169 at Hotwire, I went back over to priceline and put in a $120 bid. It countered with a $22 which I accepted. Ended up getting the Crowne Plaza Hilton Head for $144/night from Priceline!Should I post a new message with my results to the priceline forum?Thanks so much for your help! Saved me some money! ;-)
Robin Coolidge Posted August 25, 2008 Author Report Posted August 25, 2008 I am pretty pleased with the results.- Started on Hotline.com looking at 4* on Hilton Head. Best price was $169. Used the Hotline forum on this site to identify the offered hotel as the Crowne Plaza Resort Hilton Head.- Moved to Priceline. Entered a bid for $120. Priceline countered with $22 more. I accepted the counter and the bid for $144 was accpted for the Crowne Plaza. Best price from hotel site is $209.HILTON HEAD ISLANDCrowne Plaza Resort130 SHIPYARD DRIVEHILTON HEAD, SC 29928August 29-31, $144/night
