unzippy Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 I have 'won' 2 rooms last sunday in The Muse Hotel in New York for the period of 11-17 Feb via Priceline. I have e-mailed the hotel via their website to request that the 2 rooms are non smoking but have heard nothing so far. In fact my credit card hasn't been billed either. All I have is the page from priceline with my booking ref. Do you usally get contacted by the hotel? Link to comment
skelman Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Check your account information to see if your reservation actually went through. If it's not there, call Priceline to make sure that they indeed haven't received it, and then try again.As for contacting hotels, try calling them rather than e-mailing. Not everybody is as proficient with electronic communication as you might think... ;-) Link to comment
LoneStar Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Yeah, unless it's international, I never email specific hotel requests. With long distance costing less than 4 cents/minute, I think making that "personal connection" increases your odds of getting the room you want.Of course, as I posted last week, I've had hotel clerks say "yes, sir, we'll give you exactly what you want" and then I arrive at the hotel hours later and there's no record of my request! Get a name if you're paranoid. Link to comment
