I actually used Priceline for a 3.5* in the same area. I started my bid at $50 and have been increasing my bid in $5 increments. My last bid was at $89, which was rejected. I also added one other zone that doesn't offer 3.5*. Since the Hotwire price was not much more than the $89, I wanted to see if the hotel was decent and if I should go with that.

I also understand that the Hotwire is a 3* versus 3.5* with Priceline. Would you know which 3* hotels Priceline uses for the same date in the same area?

Thanks for all your help!

It can't be said if the 3.5* on HOTWIRE is a 3* on PRICELINE... although this is a possibility, i think more of their hotels are rated the same than different (especially as each has just re-done their entire rating system)

The Hotel Indigo is the only 3* PRICELINE hotel reproted to the board, but there are other possibilities as well (including Residence Inn, Hyatt Place, and possibly the Sheraton). You can see a list of hotels reported to the board at all star levels in the Priceline Hotel List.

Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

I decided to book directly with the hotel. The prices had gone up considerably on Priceline overnight. The median for the 3.5* was at $119 on Saturday morning and had gone up to a median of $203 by Monday. The median for 3* was $199. With that being said, even my last bid of $94 was denied. The hotel I ended up getting was not much more than the 3* offered by Hotwire.

Thank you for all your help!

I ended up booking with Hotel Indigo. I was able to use my AAA discount.

In the future I will use the link for the hotels. Thanks!
