I've never been on the waitlist before and am curious how it works. If you're placed in one of your top hotels, are you taken off the list, or are you still waitlisted for the hotels you listed as higher preferences? In other words, if you got your 6th choice, are you waitlisted for your 1st?I called OnPeak and asked this question, and they answered yes, but it seems like it would be a huge ordeal to bump up everybody to their first choice.Does anyone have experience with this? In my case, I got placed in one of the non-downtown hotels I listed (although I entered the form at 9:01), so I'm trying to figure out if I'm out of luck for a downtown option.Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
Yes, as long as you selected the waitlist option when you did the request.
Thanks! I'm sure I checked waitlist, since I was pretty sure that was where I was headed by that time. I just checked and actually this hotel including parking ends up to be more than my crappy backup hotel, so I guess now I have to figure out whether I want to accept it to stay on the waitlist and risk getting stuck with the deposit if the waitlist doesn't come out until after it's non-refundable...
The Hilton San Diego Bayfront (right next to the convention center) has been booked 20 times in the last hour.For an eye watering $5770 total for 4 nights stay (wednesday to sunday)The SDCC hype is real.
it's not an option to let it lapse is it? (sounds from your comment like if you do you don't remain on the waitlist?)
I don't think the number of times booking sites report a hotel has been booked in the past hour necessarily means those exact dates someone is currently looking at.
OnPeak just booked me and my two friends in a room at the Bay Club at Shelter Island for 4 nights, even though it wasn't even on my list of hotels. Has to be by far the WORST hotel reservation I've ever gotten. The Bay Club is the furthest hotel from the convention center as possible, so far away, remote and in the middle of nowhere, that there are NO affordable restaurants in the area to eat at (Sorry I can't afford to pay $30 for breakfast and $80 for dinner eating at the club restaurant), and you have to drive at least 30 minutes in order to get anywhere close to civilization (restaurants, stores, etc). Its equivalent of being banished to Siberia...the shuttle bus ride from hotel to CC will take well over 90 minutes. To top that off, we got booked in a room with ONLY ONE BED, even though I specifically requested TWO BEDS on my hotel order form. How the hell are 3 guys going to fit in a one bed room? Very very Unhappy with this reservation. Hoping we can be put on the wait list for a better hotel situation preferably downtown or even hotel circle WITH TWO BEDS. I'm seriously considering cancelling the reservation and going on Priceline to see what's out there.
Any advice on if the Renaissance DT or Wyndham Bayside is better? Ended up with those two as options in our room pool, but haven't stayed at either before.
Quick question, I got an offer in the first round but was a bit out of my price range and decided to wait for round 2. It looks like I was unsuccessful,do I need to resubmit my request?
In years past, when it's your turn on the waistlist, within the OP site, you have access to a protected buying webpage that shows realtime inventory of all their hotels. And I was NOT limited to just the hotels on my original list. Also I'm sure the topic was covered at length in this forum.
