I was pretty sure the 4star was renaissance. not keen on that hotel as have stayed there before and don't like it. have stayed at the intercontinental and that would be awesome if the 4.5star was it. question - on hotwire how do you know with their secret deals what type of room you are reserving in advance? that's the only downside for me. i would want to make sure it's a big enough room for our family - is it possible when you've booked on hotwire to then pay for an upgrade at the hotel? i've never used HOTWIRE before so very new to this. thanks :)
