Listing showed Boutique, Fitness, Restaruant, Business Center, Internet with 85% recommendation. TripAdvisor rating shown as 3.5. Thanks to this board I was nearly positive it would be the W, and it is. Dates are 7/31 to 8/4.

Of course the offer on the 3.5* is most appealing, but I will consider anything above 3*. I understand that your assistance is time-consuming (of course I know about the preferred link!), but I'm trusting your expertise as well - perhaps you know that people are not usually satisfied with a hotwire 3*?, or other general info about this zone, even without the specifics about the actual hotels (which would be fantastic if you can provide!). Of course price is a factor, but as I said originally it looks like HW's zone is much smaller than PL's which may be a big advantage. (comments are welcome on that thought, too!)

We most likely will stay 2 nights, but I did check both options, and it appears the 3* hotel I'm offered changes! I'll list both just for curiosity's sake and see what you think of it. I will list everything as the 2 night option, but will put the 1 night option price in (), then will list the 1 night 3* choice. 2* $60 (61), laundry 4* $82 (82), shuttle, restaurant, pool, fitness, business 3* $86 shuttle, rest, pool, laundry 2.5* $65 ($65), high-speed internet 3.5* $53 ($47) shuttle, rest, fitness, high-speed, business for 1 night: 3* $99, shuttle, rest, pool, fitness, business, laundry Any help is greatly appreciated, also wondering if you think it'd be a better deal to try priceline based on these offers?

Hi! Just discovered this site and excited about it! I've occassionally used priceline in the past, but never hotwire. I'm planning a trip to Costa Mesa (planning to spend time at South Coast Plaza, so of course it would be nice to be near there). Will be staying Sunday night for sure, but may go Saturday too. I've heard concerns about HW's hotel quality levels compared to PL's. It appears that HW's zone is smaller for this neighborhood - a feature I like since I imagine a PL hotel could be quite some distance from the mall. When the HW offers come back sorted by distance for this area, does it mean the first ones listed are closest to the mall (that is the feature shown on the map)? My offers are this (by distance): 2* $60, 4* $82, 3* $86, 2.5* $65, 3.5* $51. The 3.5* for $51 looks tempting, but it is listed last by distance, and the amenities look more like the doubletree than the westin on your hotel list (by the way, how come only 2 hotels are on the list????). Anyway, the doubletree santa ana wouldn't be bad- its still pretty close - but if this offer is actually something like the doubletree irvine spectrum then it might be getting a little too far. I'd love ANY information you all can give me regarding the Costa Mesa area hotels and hotwire or priceline rates for them. Thanks in advance!
