For the HOTWIRE hotels above: 3* HOTWIRE Ka'anapali for $190.00 Free Internet Beachfront Pool Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Golf Spa ==> Kaanapali Beach Hotel 4* HOTWIRE Ka'anapali for $234.00 Free Internet Resort Pet Friendly Boutique Beachfront Smoke Free Fitness Pool Restaurant ==> Westin Maui Although i'm curious why even the interest in the one above with a 75% recommendation when this one has a 90% recommendation, has a higher review rating, and is cheaper: 4* HOTWIRE Ka'anapali for $207.00 Free Parking Free Internet Near Beach Fitness Pool Restaurant Golf Spa ==> Honua Kai Resort my best guess here, should this be of any interest For the PRICELINE EXPRESS hotel i'm not currently seeing any 3.5* property offered in this zone when searching for your dates, are you still seeing this one on your own search?

Thanks for the additional info. Great, as resort fees are becoming more and more common in NYC, it's nice to see a hotel that still does not charge them. I'm very familiar with NYC, let me know if you need any help/advice in the area, one suggestion i will make that is a 10-15 minute walk from your hotel: Adrienne's Pizza Bar 54 Stone St ==> it's a restaurant (kid friendly), not a slice shop, fairly reasonably priced for NYC (except for beer, wine, and liquor which just like most places in NYC, quickly pads a check) considering the quality of ingredients. Stick with their square pizza as that is what they are most well known for. Let us know if you need any other suggestions or help planning your trip.

Welcome to BetterBidding! As of this point in time, you should be fine using Kihei as a re-bid zone (future readers of this thread should of course always double check their re-bid zones). We have seen the situation you describe above before and never had an issue. Also, if you haven't seen it yet, we have set up the following page for the quickest and easiest access to the NYOP Bidding page: BiddingForHotelRooms.com ... please bookmark and use this link for your current and future bidding. You can try, but these were most likely for dates that were very different from your own, and therefore what it takes to win a bid is also likely going to be very different... i suspect that at the moment for a 4 star hotel in this zone for your dates you're more likely looking at the mid-$200's. Any question feel free to ask. Good luck and let us know how it goes or how we can be of further help.

Just want to further 'close' this thread to confirm that we have fixed the mobile link issue... should anyone have any further issue(s) with any board links please let us know. I'm rarely making purchases on a mobile/tablet so the only way for us to learn about any problems is from community feedback. Thanks again.

Welcome to BetterBidding! So that your post can best help others (and your win can appear in our Priceline and Hotwire Calendar of Wins) please post the full details of your purchase (star rating, city, zone, hotel name, room rate per nite, dates of your stay, and amenities associated with your purchase)... you can still view this information by going to HOTWIRE and clicking the MY ACCOUNT >> MY TRIPS link on the right of their home page. The information above will not only better enable us to answer your question as we can then replicate your search to see exactly what information was shown when you made your purchase (assuming that the offer is still available/offered), but could also help other users who may be traveling around the same dates. Where are you seeing a $35/nite resort fee at this property... as i don't think they charge a resort fee to any guests. Are you sure you're not confusing this with NYC's sales/hotel tax (which runs a steep ~15%, which based upon a room rate of $203/nite, would get you close to this $35 figure you're referencing) Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

Welcome 'officially' to BetterBidding! Unfortunately there is no magic formula as to when the 'right' time to make a purchase... our advice is to make the purchase when there is a hotel you want offered at a good price. Sometimes you will make the purchase and see the price drop further... other times you may wait and see the price increase (or worse, the hotel you want disappears entirely) Some factors to keep in mind that can effect the buy decision: -if it a good deal at current prices? No need to lock in a deal 9+ months in advance for a paltry $10/nite savings... but if your plans are firm and the savings are significant, then often better to lock in now ('a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush'). -how badly do you want the hotel that you think is currently being offered... if it disappears, or increases beyond your budget, how much worse (convenience, cost, etc) are the likely replacement options? -how much room is there for the price to drop vs. how much could it potentially increase, taking seasonal factors into consideration... for example, in Las Vegas (where rates tend to fluctuate more than any other city) if a 5 star hotel is offered at $110 it may have the possibility to drop another $10-$20 dollars but if the next move is higher is has the potential to increase $70-$90, which makes the risk/reward scenario less compelling and more reason to book sooner rather than later You're not going to 'win' by buying at the absolute lowest price each and every time, but If you follow the above key principals you should stay on the winning side of the equation and overall come out ahead in the long run. Some tools we have which can also help: RateDrop - will monitor PRICELINE EXPRESS and HOTWIRE rates for your specific dates and the star rating/zone combinations you choose. If the price drops below your determined price, you'll receive an email letting you know of the rate drop RefundableRates.com - shows prices for hotels based upon very liberal refund-ability policies (usually fully refundable up until 1-3 days prior to arrival) so that if you're waiting (ie- hoping) for lower rates you can protect yourself by booking something today that you can live with, should a better deal come along with PRICELINE / HOTWIRE you simply cancel the refundable reservation BiddingHelper.com 'Good Price' button - using the 'Hotwire Easy View' and 'Priceline Express' tabs you can see regular retail rates of hotels of the same star rating in the zone, thus having a better idea of how the 'opaque hotel' offer compares to rates for an equivalent property As for your upcoming NYC trip, exactly which offer is it (star rating, price, amenities, etc) that you're currently considering in Long Island City?

Sorry to hear that you had to cancel this trip... thank you for closing this thread with your decision. We look forward to helping with your upcoming NYC trip!

Thanks... appears to be a mobile/tablet issue, as i have replicated the issue on both, yet the same links work fine on a desktop. Will have a further look in the morning. Thank you making us aware of the issue.

They shouldn't if you include 2adults/2children in your search. If there was an issue i think you would win this argument with the hotel and/or HOTWIRE... but if you want to avoid the situation entirely just have one parent go to the desk at check-in while the other two wait someplace else in the lobby or start to wonder around the hotel. Also note that you can easily research/identify this property by using our BiddingHelper.com tool and in the EASY VIEW tab click the 'FIND MATCH in HOTEL LIST' where the Palazzo is listed for this property at a 100% match. Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

This helps keep the board better organized by reducing the number of unresolved threads that don't have any follow-up or conclusion. For the occupancy question see my comment above in my previous response. Are these the only 2 hotels that HOTWIRE indicates are possibilities (as usually they indicate 4 different properties... did you exclude 2 of them on your own)? Searching using the EASY VIEW tab of our BiddingHelper.com tool and clicking the 'FIND MATCH in HOTEL LIST' indicates that this is most likely the Wyndham Bonnet Creek Resort. So before venturing further... Would this property work for your needs this trip? Are you willing to pay $243/nite for this condo? Do you need a Condo property as you may be able to get 2-3 hotel rooms cheaper than one room in a Condo? With less than a week to go before your check-in date, when will the others in your group know if they are able to come along or not?
