Hotels are in business for one reason and one reason only, to make money. Why would the BW Lakeside ask Hotwire to only display a portion of their amenities? I can't speak for all travelers but for myself, all things being equall, I would be inclined to book a hotel room which offered more amenities vs fewer. Therefore, I don't buy into the idea that Hotwire flip flopps the list of amenities for the BW Lakeside in order to appeal to the needs of a wider range of travelers. I for one wouldn't book what has been posted on this forum to be the BW Lakeside with 4 amenities and a $5.00 resort fee because I would have no recourse in the event I received let's say the Ramada Inn. That's why they do what they do and this forum actually serves their needs by planting the seed. So long. I'm going to PRICELINE

I'm assuming based on the above statements that you have first hand knowledge of how Hotwire does business and it is indeed the hotel that instructs hotwire which amenities to list on any given day. Having said that my question is why? Why would the BW Lakeside ask Hotwire to display all of their amenities sometimes and only four other times, keeping in mind that the $5.00 resort fee bate is on the line in both scenarios? If your response is "it's their perogative" than please don't bother responding because it just doesn't make sense.

I disagree. An incomplete list of amenities is not accurate. In fact, in a word it's misleading and allows Hotwire to arbitrarily sell rooms in like hotels to customers without recourse. Who's the catalyst?

I feel strongly about which hotel I DON'T want to get. Which I guess is the same thing you are saying and I agree with you but dammit I just can't help feeling that HOTWIRE is playing a little game of deception here. The BW Lakeside has been reported as being booked both with all the amenities listed and other times with just four of them. Something just doesn't ring true. Is someone at the wheel just forgetting to include all of the amenities? I think not. If HOTWIRE is going to give their potential customers a clue as to which hotel they may be getting i.e; a list of amenities than it should be an accurate list. That's all I'm saying.

Hi, It's not a matter of not being able to search and find the hotel I believe to be the BW Lakeside on Hotwire (the one with the $5.00 resort fee). The problem is I don't know for sure if the $5.00 resort fee is exclusive to the Best Western Lakeside. I googled the Ramada Inn and found mention of a $2.95 resort fee online. However, I did not find any information on the Ramada website. The BW Lakeside's resort fee is actually $3.95 per their website. So I guess I just don't know for sure. I don't know what to do. Could be either one. Any suggestions?

Thank you for clearing that up about the change in hotels that makes perfect sense. To the best of your knowledge has the Ramada Inn ever been reported to have a $5.00 resort fee disclosure on Hotwire? It seems as though this fee is the uncommon denominator which likely differentiates the two hotel possibilities. I realize there are no guarantees but I was hoping for your normal response like "This is a match for the *&(*&*^&%% and that would be our best guess". Instead it's my bad luck that I got two maybe three possibilities. Although everything tells me it's the Best Western Lakeside I just can't get passed the idea that you the expert aren't sure so how could I possibly be sure....... I guess the fact that I haven't booked it yet tells you I'm not as sure as I would like to be. Samantha

Hi again, In your opinion what are the odds that this hotel with the stated amenities including the $5.00 resort fee is the Best Western Lakeside as opposed to the other two hotels you mentioned as possibles? Thanks, we really want the Lakeside and really don't want the Ramada. p.s. The hotel shows up some times when I search my dates and other times it doesn't. Any idea why?

Thanks. We were hoping it was the Best Western and only the Best Western but since the other two hotels are in the mix we don't feel confident in booking it.

Hi, Please help me ID the following hotel 2.5* Hotel - Disney Maingate Champions Gate $39.00 4/12-4/18 Fitness Restaurant Pool Laundry $5.00 Resort Fee Please Help if you can. I'm hoping it's the hotel we think it is. Thanks Samantha
