Hotwire Hotel: 4* Paris (Airport Charles de Gaulle CDG) Hilton

[jet2bmw]

Got this for $99. But here's what's interesting that happened.

I was poking around HOTWIRE yesterday, found the hotel that matched the Hilton amenities in the hotel list for $99 and was thinking about it. Got caught up with a few other things and decided to come back today to buy it.

Today, there's a 4* for $99 showing, but it had far fewer amenities (actually matched the Sheraton). Since the Sheraton is right on the CDG premises, thought this was really good, bought it, and it gave me the Hilton!

Not disappointed since this is what I wanted initially. And technically since the Hilton has more amenities than what was promised, HOTWIRE isn't doing anything "wrong" here.

Has anyone seen this tactic before?

Congratulations on your success and thank you for sharing your results with the board.

Can you please add a reply to this thread with the dates of your stay (so your win can appear in the Priceline and Hotwire Calendar of Wins) as well as the full list of amenities shown before your purchase... you can still view this information by going to HOTWIRE and clicking the MY ACCOUNT link near the top right of their home page.

We'll then answer your question(s) above.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your future travel purchases.

Thanks.

4* Hilton

OR

Amenities: Restaurant, Fitness, Hi-Speed Internet, Business

(same as Sheraton)

It is not uncommon to see a hotel show up with 2-3+ different amenity variations.
