  1. Nevermind, I just won this one and it was a much cheaper hotel but still 4.5/5 which is not bad... 

    Crowne Plaza Stamford

    2701 Summer Street

    Stamford, CT 06905

     

    $100.00 ($126.26 with tax)

    **** Tripadvisor 4.5 out of 5  (101-300 reviews)

     

    -------------------------------------------------
    The only match for the 4.5/5 and the amenities is on TripAdvisor as:

    The J House Greenwich  (4.5/5) 258 reviews

    Match on all amenities...
    BUT, they have an OUTDOOR pool, NOT indoor. Hotwire could be mistaken or doing the "not all amenities are guaranteed thing"

    Usual rate is around $230. 

    What do you guys think?

  3. Seems like "Golf nearby" + this being 4 Stars is what makes this blind hotel easier to distinguish.

    The deal is now gone and it is up to $126 from $74, but frequently this comes down to the 70s or 80s.

    91.64 after taxes+fees.

     

    Amenities before purchase:

    Business

    Golf nearby ** (distinguishing factor from other deals)

    Fitness

    Pool(s)

    Indoor Pool(s)

    Smoke-free rooms

    Accessibility:

    -visually, hearing, path of travel, in-room accessibility, accessible bathroom, accessible parking, roll-in shower

  4. Yes, there is also "Internet access" listed as an amenity post-purchase (not listed pre-purchase though: only "Free Internet")

    All final amenities are : Free Internet / Pet friendly / Internet access

     

    *** Important booking note: I called the hotel and this is a single bed. Only for one person, called a "single pod" (with a private bath).

    As per Hotwire conditions: "Rooms sleep the number of guests. Number, type and size of beds aren't guaranteed."

     

    I used the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin my search!

  5. Pod 39

    Empire State Building area

    Rated by Hotwire as 3 Stars

    Amenities: Free Internet, Pet friendly

     

    *** Important *** Reviews:

     

    "tripadvisor 4 out of 5.0"  <- this is why I took it, I think tripadvisor rating is more accurate

     

    Hotwire customer reviews: 0% recommended (1 total reviews)   [said hotel not reviewed yet on the previous page]

     

    I'm ok with it, can't beat the price, $133 > $175.85 after taxes, fees.

    I wanted something just under $200 and I got it even if those rooms like kooky small!

    The master list indicates this may be the Wyndham? Isn't that a bit too good to be true?

    But could really use some help- I was really going to book refundable for this trip (uncertainty) but the prices are high mid week on everything.

    Thanks for any help!

    Was totally hoping for the Hyatt Orlando Airport since it is also 4* -- but, no dice. I thought the "pet friendly" and 4* might indicate it was the Hyatt, and I was looking forward to just having the hotel adjoin the airport.

     

    Oh well, doesn't look bad. 4/5 on Travelocity. They are suites, that could be nice.

    Their only other option was a 3.5 star and I knew that wouldn't be the Hyatt despite similar amenities as well.

  9. 4* - Crowne Plaza Universal Orlando.

    They gave it away with a little blue box that said "last one who purchased this got the Crowne Plaza" so I went for it.

     

    Amenities from Hotwire (after purchase) are listed as:
    Free Internet

    Fitness center
    Pool(s)
    Restaurant(s)
    Business center
    Self-service laundry
    Internet access
    Accessibility
    Accessible for visually impaired
    Accessible for hearing impaired
    Accessible path of travel
    In-room accessibility
    Accessible bathroom
    Accessible parking
    Roll-in shower

     

    (Access for visual/hearing impaired is I think what distinguishes this one).
