Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Maryland-DC Suburbs (Bethesda-South Rockville) Doubletree Bethesd

[Hopsangirl]

Found a 3* Bethesda-Silver Spring hotel on HOTWIRE that looks a close match to the Crowne Plaza Hotel Silver Spring. No other 3* hotels seem to have been identified for the area. If it is the Crowne Plaza it looks like a fair deal for those dates. Want to try to confirm hotel ID before I try my luck on PRICELINE.

Crowne Plaza amenities as listed on Betterbidding:

Restaurant(s) - Fitness center - pool - business center - laundry - golf nearby

HOTWIRE listed amenities:

Fitness center - pool(s) - restaurant(s) - business center - laundry facilities - high-speed internet access

So the odd ones out are golf nearby and high-speed internet access (although Crowne Plaza lists this on their own site)

Also, HOTWIRE doesn't list any Tripadvisor info although the Crowne Plaza is rated 3.5 out of 5 based on 32 reviews. Should I read anything into that?

Are you still seeing this property offered on a current HOTWIRE search as i'm not showing the above on a current search for your dates.

If you are still seeing the above, are you searching for more than one room or for more than the default 2adults/0children?

You're right. The deal is gone now. I searched for 1 room, 1 adult. HOTWIRE doesn't seem to be offering anything competitive so I'm going to use PRICELINE.

I'll be sure to use the PRICELINE link and I'll post the result afterwards.

Thanks again for a great site!
