Hotwire Hotel: 4* Detroit (Airport DTW) Marriott Romulus

[glitzy40]

I want to WARN everyone that Hotwire has made this a 4* hotel!!  Not  only that, they advertised it as a $265 room for 75% off.  Not surprisingly, this is exactly the price of the only true 4* at DTW- The Westin!  The Marriott is only $149/night.... 75% off would have made it only $37.25! 

 

I am deeply disappointed that Hotwire would so deceptively advertise a $149 hotel as being a $265 hotel.  I was sure it was a computer glitch, but after talking to a Hotwire supervisor, he very inadequately tried to explain to me that the $265 price was the median price for all the 4* hotels in that area.  I calmly tried to explain to him that there are NO hotels in the area that cost more that $265!  How could you add $149 and $265 and come out with a median of $265?   Sorry, that just does not add up...no way, no how!

 

If I hadn't been booking a room in haste at 4 a.m. I would have remembered to go through your link.  I apologize!  I also,would have caught the free parking on the amenities list.  This is the tip off that it is not the Westin.  However, we all know that there is only one 4* at DTW....The Westin... so I didn't feel a need to search that out carefully.  Now I know better!  Hotwire not only inflates * levels-something we have known for a long time, but they also are deceptively putting on incorrect slashed through hotel prices and percentage discounts.  Hotwire buyer beware!
