nightpanda Posted July 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Of course thank you! Just replied there, I didn't end up using the sites because I found a less expensive option through an apartment rental. I did use this site for an LA trip several years ago that landed me in the W in downtown LA and it was fantastic! It was the hotel I wanted and through here it was suggested that it was the one I would get. Such a great forum. Link to comment

nightpanda Posted July 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 waited awhile then did the HOTWIRE purchase 4* City Centre - Gran Via - Sol -Plaza Mayor - La Latina $93 for 9/5-9/7 Free Internet Pet Friendly Children Activities Smoke Free Rooms I got the Petit Palace Plaza Espana -- wish I had gotten the one you thought it would be! (although I in no way feel mislead by this site.. i do by Hotwire however) I have to give feedback/warning on Hotwire Hot Hotel Deals though: I am disappointed in this booking. The *favorite* rating of 90% approval on the hot hotel deals booking page led me to believe it would have better than a 3.9 out of 5 rating on the regular sale page. The median published price quoted of $157 that they base their average savings on is also way higher than the actual published price $107 on the regular page, the $119 on Orbitz, the $107 on Expedia. I doubt I'll ever use Hotwire again. Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 1 hour ago, nightpanda said: waited awhile then did the HOTWIRE purchase Sorry to hear you received a hotel other than what you were expecting, but it's been over 3+ weeks since we looked at and research the previous property above... i believe the HOTWIRE offer changed in this time period. 1 hour ago, nightpanda said: The *favorite* rating of 90% approval on the hot hotel deals booking page led me to believe it would have better than a 3.9 out of 5 rating on the regular sale page The 3.9 out of 5 is the average of all the criteria that HOTWIRE asks previous guests to rate (location, cleanliness, condition, etc) whereas the 90% figure is the number who would recommend this property... these are two different values and measure two different things. 1 hour ago, nightpanda said: The median published price quoted of $157 that they base their average savings on is also way higher than the actual published price $107 on the regular page, the $119 on Orbitz, the $107 on Expedia. The median published price is an average price of hotel of this star rating in the same zone for your travel dates... not an average price of the specific hotel that you purchased. With the above noted the two properties are similarly reviewed, and although i'm not sure how the locations differ, you would have likely had the same issues even if you had won the Hotel Petit Palace Plaza del Carmen (as that property too has a 3.9/5.0 overall HOTWIRE guest rating and is also priced within a few dollars of the Petit Palace Plaza Espana that you actually won) If you do decide to use HOTWIRE (or PRICELINE EXPRESS) again in the future feel free to ask the board for help just before your purchase (or if a long time transpires between your search and your purchase then get confirmation again for the board) and we will try to help you land a more satisfactory outcome.
