thereuare Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Welcome to BetterBidding!If you're not willing to accept any hotel in a given zone at the minimum star level (or higher) that you select then you shouldn't use PRICELINE.HOTWIRE may still be an option if you're ablet to identify the property offered, or at least exclude the property you're trying to avoid (ie- in Las Vegas a HOTWIRE ofering with a Casino can't be the Trump International since they don't have a casino)Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

vicman33 Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I guess my question is if I bid 140 instead of 100 do I stand a beeter chance of getting the Hyatt or other hotel than the Sheraton? Link to comment

thereuare Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I had replied above before seeing your posted win.Sorry to hear you received the hotel you were hoping to avoid, which is why although HOTWIRE may cost a little more, it can help you target, or avoid, a particular property. It can also allow you to purchase a lower star rated hotel if you're able to comfortably ID it as one of the 'better' hotels within that star rating.If you didn't, please remember to use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your future travel purchases.Hope you enjoy your stay.

BrianD4 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I have stayed at the Sheraton Waikiki several times, and once was upgraded to an ocean-view room. It is a very nice hotel. Link to comment
