This seems strange to me. There are only 2 hot wire hotels listed for my dates in downtown Dallas. One is a 4* and one is a 1*, but the difference in price is $95 for 4* and $92 for 1*. The price crossed out is not much different either $163 v. $159.

Here are amenities:

4* $95/$163crossed out

Pet friendly

Smoke free

Fitness

Pool(s)

Restaurant

Business center

Self service laundry

Internet access

Golf nearby

85% recommended

4 out of 5 on TA

1* $92/$159 crossed out

Free breakfast

Free internet

Pet friendly

Boutique

Fitness

Restaurant

Business center

Assessible for visually impaired

"Still gathering reviews"

Just wondering why 4* & 1* would be almost same price. Also, haven't seen any 1* listed on Hotwire list

Any help appreciated

I added reply to my Boston thread (we booked on our own for that trip to make sure we'd have adjoining rooms--didn't want to risk getting 2 rooms that might be separated).

For this room in Dallas (local for us), it will be me & my 2 daughters. We only need one room. Either a king with rollaway or two queens.

Thank you

Hotels make their pricing decisions independently and it's not unusual for a 3* to be more than a 4* and sometimes a lower rated hotel is the same price as a higher rated one. 

 

Are you searching for 3 people or 2?

 

When I search for 2 people, I see a 4* in this zone w/Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Smoke Free, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Laundry, Golf, Blind Accessible, Deaf Accessible, Travel Accessible, Room Accessible, Bathroom Accessible, Handicapped Parking, Roll-in Shower, Pet Friendly. (please click on listings, then click "book now", then click "see all" and list all amenities showing, including accessible.)

 

If you are seeing that amenity set, my guess would be the Sheraton. I don't think you'd want a 1* when a 4* is available for a couple of dollars more.

 

However, when I search for more than 2 people in the downtown zone, there's no listings.

 

Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Thank you. I suspect it is the Sheraton too. I was not planning on booking the 1*, it just seemed odd to me that they were so close in price despite being so far apart in stars. I was wondering if it could be a mistake since the amenities seemed to match up with the Magnolia and the price seemed more appropriate for the Magnolia. And you were correct. I had not put in the number of people. I figured we could deal with a king (with rollaway) or a double. In any event, since I would not be happy with the Sheraton, I will book somewhere else where we can be sure of getting what we need. Thank you for all your help. I appreciate it!

There's also the possibility that you could use PRICELINE EXPRESS, if you are seeing a hotel in the desired zone with bed choice as an option. Please keep us updated on what you ultimately decide and definitely let us know if we can be of further assistance.
