Hotwire Hotel: 3.5* Alexandria and Old Town area, 85% recommended

[nodarkness]

I checked Hotwire for a 3+* hotel in the near-DC area starting Sept. 7. One of the offers was for:

$99

3.5* pet friendly, indoor pool, airport shuttle, fitness center, pool, restaurant, business center, self service laundry, internet access

 

When checking the chart on this site, it seems awfully close to Hotel Monaco. I would love to stay there. However, I suspect that it could be the Crowne Plaza. Since Hotel Monaco is a 4* hotel and the Crowne Plaza is 3.5*, I am not entirely clear on which hotel it may be. Hotel Monaco is pet-friendly, while the Crowne Plaza is not pet-friendly. I will be bringing my dog, so that is a key criteria.

 

Neither hotel has the precise matching criteria from this site, so any insight you have would be appreciated. I will lock in this rate quickly if it is for Hotel Monaco.

 

Thanks for having such a brilliant resource for travelers!

Welcome to BetterBidding! (and thanks for the compliments on the site :) )

I checked Hotwire for a 3+* hotel in the near-DC area starting Sept. 7.

It this a one nite stay OR what is your check-out date?

Also, I believe there are more amenities then what you have posted above as HOTWIRE has a new interface that does not show the complete set of amenities unless you click thru a few extra links.

If you repeat your search using our BiddingHelper.com tool... use the HOTWIRE EASY VIEW tab and then click the GREEN BUTTON next to this listing, do you see more amenities then what you have listed above?

Please confirm the dates and amenities and we will have a closer look at this offer.

This is for three nights, checking in on Sept. 7 and leaving on Sept. 10. I will be in the hotel at this time next week!

 

Using your helpful suggestion, I used Bidding.Helper. Beyond the accessibility features, there was not anything significant. The full list of amenities is:

Pet friendly, Indoor pool(s), Airport Shuttle, Fitness Center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business Center, Self service laundry, Internet access, Tennis Nearby, Accessible for the blind, Accessible for the deaf, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Handicapped parking, Roll-in shower

 

What's throwing me is the indoor pool AND the pool mentions. That can't be right. When I added the additional Hotels.com search, it seems that the mystery hotel could also be Washingtonian Suites. This would be a good option for room size, although not nearly as good as Hotel Monaco would be overall. Saying that Washingtonian Suites is in the Alexandria/Old Town area is stretching the idea, but it is within the boundaries that Hotwire has on the map.

 

I am not locked in on staying in Alexandria. It would be nice, though. The trip is a leisure visit to DC. The only areas I will not consider are around Dulles since it there is no Metrorail service and northeast of DC since I would need to drive every time I left the hotel.

The Hilton Alexandria Mark Center would be my best guess for this one.
