Hotwire Hotel: 3.5* San Juan Sheraton Puerto Rico Hotel and Casino

[Blueshirt35]

Hi there!

Am looking for bidding assistance for one room pre-cruise. This was the second day in a row that I have tried but no luck. I'm usually a lurker so please forgive me if I miss any information needed for assistance.

Yesterday I started out at $75 and the resort level (low I know) and continued in $5 increments up to $95 through a combination of lowering the star level and rebidding in zones outside of the star levels I had selected.

Today I started out with San Juan and bid of $85, 3.5 stars. Based on yesterday's no win day, I actually bid in $10 increments up to $115. To rebid, I added zones that were 3 star or lower.

There is a 3.5* hotel on Hotwire that I believe to be the Sheraton Convention Center for $114. I say believe because a fellow traveler in our group thinks it looks like the information that was there when she purchased through Hotwire last week. I was unable to find an ID on Hotwire board. (On a side note, amenities are Smoke Free Rooms, Restaurant(s), High Speed Internet Access, Golf Nearby)

Two separate parties in our group (there are about 80 of us) received the Intercontinental a few months back for $90. Cheapest direct rate I could find for one of the Priceline listed hotels was Marriott Resort at $199. Both Embassy suites and Sheraton Old San Juan are showing as no availability.

In terms of a max, with the inevitable resort fee and Hotwire's current availability, I would probably want to go no higher than $115. With a late arrival into San Juan, we are really just using the room as a place to sleep and shower.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer!

It's hard to advice you since you have reaced your maximum. It looks like there's a slim inventory for your date.

On the Priceline retail side there is a 1* Howard Johnson for $88. Supposed to be 6 miles (15 minutes) from the airport. Orbitz has the same hotel rated a 2* and priced at $110. If you get desperate?

Plan A: Keep trying Priceline

Plan B: Get a room from Hotwire

Plan C: Keep the current reservation at one of the Marriott properties

It'll all work out one way or another! :)

A 3.5 star on Hotwire was actually down to $109 this morning. Though it's back up to $114 right now, we just might end up going that route since it seems to be the hotel fellow passengers got (we could then share cabs). Thanks for the info!
