jv85 Posted January 28, 2010 Report Posted January 28, 2010 I actually have a last minute request for Austin,Tx....1/29-1/31, preferably something above 2stars in the downtown area (We are willing to stay elsewhere if there is a shuttle to downtown so we don't have to drive :) )Best deal on hotwire is "3 star" which for two rooms/two nights after taxes is 275 (59/night). Any tips on getting a better deal last minute? I'm also assuming I should book both rooms at the same time- and call the hotel directly if I want one room w/ a king and one room w/ 2 beds. Thanks in advance!

Any tips on getting a better deal last minute?You can try PRICELINE, but they only guarantee a room for two adults and that could mean one bed.If you need help with an ID so please list the amenties HOTWIRE associates with the hotel you're looking at and we'll have a look at this.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Yellowdog.
jv85 Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Posted January 28, 2010 I'll make sure to use the links when we make our decision to go with PRICELINE or HOTWIRE so that the site can receive the credit. Just by reading through previous wins in Downtown Austin, it seems that $45 is the best price for a 3 star available.The Hotwire 3 star hotel is: Airport Shuttle, Fitness Center, Restaurant, Laundry, High Speed Internet (including 70% satisfaction)My guess would be the Holiday Inn Townlake, hopefully we can save a few more bucks if we end up using Priceline.
jv85 Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Posted January 28, 2010 Seems prices have gone up- we used the PRICELINE link and finally got a 3 star- Holiday Inn Townlake for bid price of $50 - total being right under 240 for 2 rooms/ 2nights.Since this is probably the same thing HOTWIRE would have given us, we saved $36, so woohoo PRICELINE!
