Romelle Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 When you bid an area and a star level, you have to be prepared to accept any hotel in the area and at your bid star level (and higher if PL upgrades you). The only way to avoid a specific hotel is to bid at a higher star level, or stay away from the area altogether. Sorry - there really aren't any tricks for avoiding a hotel.Romelle Link to comment
Ed A Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 hi -i think i read in another post that the W has "tennis nearby" as one of the amenities. so if i had to guess, i would say that the one you are bidding on is not the W. this is just a hunch though Link to comment

das_ubersoldat Posted November 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I would have preferred the Westin or Hyatt but I guess this one is also good. So I'm ok with it. Link to comment
