I replied twice and updated the information on the Niagara on the Lake thread. I'm ready to book this Hotwire listing but I'd really appreciate it if BetterBidding had any thoughts on which of the two resort hotels this might me. Thank you!
To clarify completely, I did not go to Niagara on the lake. I did not book any hotel. Thank you.
Decided not to book after all.

Sheraton was previously rated as 4*, I wonder if this is now a 3.5*? Any help is appreciated!
EDIT: So I went ahead and booked it and it is the Sheraton - so it's considered a 3.5*. Good price though for the location.
Just did the bid from Better Bidding - hotel price went up to $52 today, but it was the Scottsdale Cottonwoods Resort and Suites. Not much information available on this hotel - not even listed on Tripadvisor that I can see and no ratings on HOTWIRE so I hope I'm not disappointed. I would like to hear from anyone who has stayed here. Thank you and another big savings on a hotel through your site and HOTWIRE.

Resort fee of approximately $15.
Any ideas? Doesn't match anything currently on the hotel list. I'd be with Orange Tree Resort I think. Just looking for something convenient for day trips. Thank you for your help!
Thanks - I just checked the Oban Inn and White Oaks web sites and Oban has no rooms available for one of the nights, so I'm fairly convinced its the White Oaks. Now we're deciding on whether there's enough to do there for the kids. Thanks for your help and I'll post back if we decide to go.

I don't see Niagara on the Lake listed on the Hotel List - any idea what this might be? Looking for a quick getaway with 2 kids so getting a bed choice of 2 Queens for $4 a night additional is great. I really would like to know if there is an indoor pool though. Any help is appreciated!

"Bed Choice" is a new feature of HOTWIRE where, for some properties, you can pay a bit more to confirm the bed type before arrival.There is no additional information currently provided by HOTWIRE which would help me narrow the field beyond the proerties i have posted above. I will note that in the 85% recommended box, HOTWIRE customers do give the property being offered a 4.5/5.0 for location... i don't know enough about Toronto to know if most guests would prefer to knot have a hotel near the waterfront, but if this is the case and not just your personal preference based upon your needs for this trip, then it would appear (at least on the surface) that this poroperty would have a decent location based upon the user feedback.
Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.
Decided this was too much uncertainty so we booked the 3.5* to make sure we got the Delta Chelsea. I'll post the results on a new post.
Today I'm looking at the same amenities, except it says 85% positive reviews. If I book one room with 2 people it shows $82 and gives you a bed choice of 2 doubles for $7 more. Is the bed choice something new on Hotwire? I'm trying to narrow the hotel possibilies down - really don't want any of the choices near the waterfront - hoping for the Sheraton or Hilton. Any opinion on this 'bed choice' hotel would be appreciated.

Ok thanks so much. I'm off to try some bids on Priceline but if I don't get what I want there I'll probably take this. I'll post if I do.
No go on PRICELINE - my bid for $88 for Downtown South wasn't accepted so back to Hotwire.
Update - just got the Westin Harbour Castle on HOTWIRE- total with taxes $411 for 2 nights, 2 rooms. Great deal and I'm very happy with the hotel. Thanks for the help.
Have their been recent wins with these amenities? I don't want to end up in Yorkville at the Marriott. Any thought on the new addition of "recommended in x% of customer reviews"? Where would these reviews be I wonder?

This doesn't match up to anything on the current betterbidding hotel list. Any ideas? We don't need any specific hotels but don't want to be in Yorkville area. Thanks!
Yep, my mistake. I see the Laundry icon now. Thanks. I'll post the results if we decide to go this way.

I would think from the Hotwire Hotel List that this would be the Omni Champions Gate, but it doesn't show Laundry, and that is on the Hotel List. Any ideas?
Thank you! We've decided that we're looking at next year for this trip, but we'll keep watching to see if anyone posts that they have the Tamaya. It's not listed on this website's hotels list for this area yet, but would expect it to show up if someone gets it.
Did not book for this timeframe. Vacation plans canceled.
Showing 3.5* $150/night with Resort, Fitness, Pool, Rest., Business Center, Internet, 18 hole golf and tennis. I can only find one resort in this area, Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort but I don't see it as a Hotwire hotel in the past. Anyone with recent experience here? Thank you!
Went through this site to HOTWIRE. $149 July 17-19, 2009. Listed as Rest, Fitness, Internet, Business Center.
Looking to ID 3* in Portsmouth, NH for June28-29,2009. Amenities are Free Breakfast, Fitness, Pool, Business Center, Internet. $119 per night. Only hotel listed for Portsmouth for those dates. Hotwire listing on this site doesn't show any three stars. Thanks!
great price for the Sheraton - $78 US with taxes. We always enjoy the Sheraton in the summer, with the great pool. Booked through the HOTWIRE link on this website.
