Interestingly enough, I am looking at the problem the other way around. I need to specifically find Kyoto Grand Hotel among the options offered by Hotwire, for Los Angeles, so not necessarily the "cheapest" in the downtown area. The only indication of such is that I know of it being 3.5* (by some, of course ... :)). Here is the question - if I input the more generic "Los Angeles, CA" in Hotwire, I get - for the downtown area - a specific list of hotels (one 4*, one 3.5* and one 3*). Now - if I choose the more specific area (e.g. 2nd and spring st, Los Angeles, CA) - I get another "set" of 4*, 3.5* and 3*. Would this last set be actually the one within which the 3.5* is what I am looking for (in this case Kyoto Grand Hotel)? TIA, Stefan
