LilliCat Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 I booked the "3.5-star hotel in State Capitol - Univ. Area - Central Madison" on HOTWIRE YESTERDAY (07/10/09) for three nights 10/22/09 - 10/25/09Amenities listed:Fitness Center, Pool, Restaurant, Business, High-Speed Internet AccessThis was my first time using HOTWIRE, and with success! There is a convention at the hotel over the weekend, and I booked this via Hotwire thinking I'd get the Hilton. (Hotels give away cheap rooms during conventions?!) I'll have to do more reading about hotel canceling on me, etc, since this is way below the cheapest rate I could find online at the time- AAA Rate $109/nightAfter comparing PRICELINE to HOTWIRE, I think I'll use Hotwire from now on since utilizing the tools and advice from others will help me nab the hotel I want. When my husband and I decide where we're going to finish the vacation we'll utilize HOTWIRE again. We will also post review/pictures after vacation! Link to comment
AaronJB Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Welcome to the site. :)Congratulations on your success and thank you for sharing your results with the board. Hotels do sometimes still have inventory, even during convention periods. Looks like a superb deal for this property, and there should be no worries about the hotel canceling on you.If you're looking for something additional to do, Devil's Lake State Park is gorgeous and not too far (about an hour) North (see: http://www.devilslakewisconsin.com/) The Wisconsin Dells are just a little further North from there.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Enjoy your stay.
