Great info, thanks Colfax and thereuare. I guess I'll hang on to our reservation at the Abri for now, and do some more research on the neighborhoods. I'm eyeing that Drisco Hotel right now, but I don't think they play around w/ Priceline or Hotwire. My wife wants something small and boutiquey, and if not, then w/ a pool and 24-hr room service. Since we have until September, it's probably okay, to wait it out and see what we can get closer to the dates. I'll follow-up when we know exactly what/where we want. Quick question: on Hotwire, the percentage of positive reviews are now labeled as "Hotwire customer reviews". Do they still get them from Tripadvisor? Thanks, again! jp.
