Hotwire Hotel: Book now for Denver 2010 or wait?

[rujari]

I will be traveling to downtown Denver Convention Ctr from 3/14/10 - 3/19/10 and wondering if I should wait until closer to travel time to book or to book now. The only thing currently listed on Hotwire is a 3.5-star hotel in Greater Downtown Denver for $193/nt with following amenities - Boutique, Breakfast, Fitness, Laundry, Internet. This doesn't seem like much of a deal so I am wondering if hotels have not provided Hotwire with available rooms yet. Although my preference is to stay downtown, if nothing better comes available then there is also a 4-star hotel in Denver Tech Center South for $119/nt with following amenities - Fitness, Pool, Restaurant, Bus Ctr, Internet.

Please advise.

Thanks.

Welcome to the site. :)

3/10 is a little far in advance, and some hotels may not have adjusted their rates downward yet to reflect traffic. However, there is the issue of if there is a convention or some other event is occurring on these dates, then prices may continue to stay on the high side for these dates.

What would be your budget per night for hotel?

Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links when you are ready to book.

If the above doesn't seem like much of a deal then you should wait, but that doesn' tmean that you shouldn't try/check rates, for if your plans are firm and a deal comes along, it may be better to lock it in now as it may not be here later on.

The idea is to know what a good deal would be and be prepared to take advantage of it should it present itself... but not 'chase' rates if they don't appear to be that good.

See the related link in our pricefaq regarding 'booking early or close to check-in'.

Thanks for the tip. I'll keep checking through your PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links periodically and post again if I find something. I'll also check out your PRICELINE FAQ.
