liz1992 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 Hello again hello,Can someone help me to identify this hotel. My last successful bid was thru PRICELINE for 2/12 & 2/13/09 - Winning bid $100.00 per room, 3 rooms, 3nights pre-cruise.Hotel Won: Sheraton Old San Juan I thought this time I might start with HOTWIRE to get a feel for the pricing and decide whether to go ahead on HOTWIRE or back thru PRICELINE. I did a search for San JuanCheck in: 2/21/09 Check out 2/22/09 - 1 night post cruise 3 Rooms - 2 adults 1 child, 1 adult, 2 adults.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This is the availability returned tonight, Tuesday January 27, 2009 - 9:45 p.m. Eastern timeThe search returned this as the top billing: ( I got pretty excited when I saw this 4* rating for this price)$99.00 per room, per night. 4 * Star Hotel Amenities Listed - ( I also logged into My Account to double check if there were any amenities other than what was listed in the search results)These are all the amenties shown:In the order I am listingBeachfrontFitness CtrPool (s)Restaurant (s)Business Center Tennis NearbySpa Services The side bar listed: Customer favorite, Lowest Price Guarantee, Best Value ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~When I clicked on Details of hotels with 4 star rating, it showed:Intercontintal HyattOmni That's it~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~So my ears and eyes are open, if someone wants to help me get this going. I tried to do as much research as I could before posting this.Mucho, Mucho Gracias........LizI will add the other search returns if necessary. I'm really only interested in 3.5 or 4 star and resort.
liz1992 Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Posted January 28, 2009 I think I may have found my answer in a post on the thread:Puerto Rico and Other Caribbean Islands - 4* San Juan Caribe Hilton~~~~~Questions? Is this a resort?~~~~~Is there any Resort fee for a stay at the Caribe Hilton?I do not see any words that pertain to this property being a resort.I think I'm going to go ahead and book it thru this site on the HOTWIRE link. I did my original search thru an e-mail from Hotwire.I hope that the "cookies" my computer will be rocognized and I will get the same offer of $99.00 per night, per room.
liz1992 Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Posted January 28, 2009 Okay I began the Hotwire search thru this site .I put in the check in date and check out date.I put in the destination. I viewed the results.It narrowed it down to 1 hotel choice when I checked only 4 star rating.Here is my problem. The Hotwire search engine thru this site DOES NOT ALLOW me to choose the amount of rooms I need. I need 3 rooms. The Pricline engine lets you choose the amount of rooms.When I chose continue I get a confirmation of one room only.I am a little leary at this point. I want to go ahead if I can be more positive that this 4* is the Caribe Hilton.I'm pretty sure it is, but was hoping I'd hear from someone on the boards that I'm hedaing in the right direction. I think I have the hotel pinned as the Caribe Hilton. I HOPE I HAVE IT PINNED AS THE CARIBE HILTON.I was hoping that I could somehow get that Hotel for my return post cruise stay, since I screwd up my Pricline bidding but did win a hotel I am happy with, The Sheraton Old San Juan. 3 star diamond AAA reated and on the harbor in Old San Juan with great restaurants nearby. The cruise ships within sight.
liz1992 Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Posted January 28, 2009 I am wondering since now I know what I know about this Hotwire search returning a price of $99.00 per room, per night,maybe I would get an even better price if I bid it out thru PRICELINE?Any Takers?? Someone help me?Thanks, Liz I reviewd the Howire Hotel Listing/amenities to help identify and by all serach results it seems to be the Caribe Hilton!
thereuare Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 The search box on the top left corner of the page doesn't allow you to search by the number of rooms or change from the default 2adults/0chlidren... but you can click the logo in the search box, the HOTWIRE link in my signature, or the link in our support page... all of which will take you to the main page at the HOTWIRE website where you can select the number of rooms and guests (and we will still get credit since you clicked out link to get there)When i search HOTWIRE for 3rooms/5adults/1child i don't see the original property you refer to above, i see a 4* hotel with the following amenities:Hotwire.com4-star hotel in San Juan AreaThis hotel features the following amenities:ResortBeachfrontCasinoPool(s)Restaurant(s)Business CenterLaundry FacilitiesHigh-speed Internet AccessTennis NearbySpa ServicesDo you see the above or the amenities you refered in your original post on your own current HOTWIRE search?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.
