Expedia Hotels / Price Line Hotel
Hey!
So DH and I need to book a room in Highpoint for a friends wedding in 2 weeks.
I'm slightly snobby about hotels, but all about getting good deals!
I see that expedia and priceline have their deals with 'unsold' rooms that are like 50-60% off, but you dont know which hotel you're getting until you've booked it.
Has anyone had experience with this? How was it? Worth it?
We originally figured we'd just drive home after the reception, but seeing as the end may be late and drinking will be involved, at least on my behalf . .getting a room is probably a safer bet.
TIA!
Re: Expedia Hotels / Price Line Hotel
When exactly is the wedding? By my count 2 weeks will be the opening weekend of Furniture Market (Oct 16-17?). In that respect, you aren't going to find any deal for any respectable hotel in High Point.
Otherwise, most of the hotels in Greensboro by the Airport would be fine--and not too far from HP.
I used to work in the hotel industry...hotwire.com is my best friend!
We have never had a bad experience using it...we've stayed:
- Hyatt Jacksonville, $50 per night
- Westin Atlanta, $40 per night
- Holiday Inn Center City Charlotte (twice) $60 per night
Its super accurate with the star ratings and the areas that it highlights to be the area your hotel will be in.
If you want to get a good estimate at where you will be staying...hotels.com and hotwire.com are run by the same company. So if you look at which hotels are considered downtown 4 star hotels on hotels.com...you will easily be able to narrow down which hotels you would likely be staying in.

we've used priceline several times and have never had any issues. we just use expedia for regular bookings, not the unknown hotel bookings (we have a CC thru there).
like OP, we've found the ratings to be very accurate.
