Okay, I'm looking at a 4* place in USE, listed at $89 for Jan 29th. It follows the exact same description as posted for the Westin St. Francis, the Grand Hyatt and the Argent (Restaurant(s), Fitness Center, Business Center), EXCEPT it is not listed as a "Customer Favorite". Anyone know what this could be? Are those other three hotels really all still listed as "Customer Favorite"? Thanks for the help.

And...I've already received a response from Hotwire. In short, it said they contacted the Atlantis and I am booked in the luxury tower. So all is well. :)

Okay, I took your advice and I sent an email to Hotwire basically asking if I was assured of staying in the 4* section of the hotel as I bid on a 4* property, rather than in the separate motor lodge building. Thanks. I'll let you know what they say and where I end up.

Okay, after reading posts on this board, I was certain the hotwire hotel I was looking at was the Atlantis and it was. $37 for a Saturday night, not too bad. I'm not posting the Hotwire description, as it was exactly as posted in other posts. But, can someone explain the "motor lodge" concern listed in previous posts? Buying the room over Hotwire, can't the hotel stick you in any room they want? One of the other posts said to be sure to complain to Hotwire if they do stick you in the motor lodge section. Will this do any good? I think star values are primarily based on the hotel ammenities, so as long as you still have access to all the ammenities I suspect they would still argue that you were in a 4* joint. I actually don't care too much as I mostly just need a cheap place to crash while skiing for the weekend, but if I can ensure a better room, why not?!
