When visiting the Ontario area, my favorite place to stay is aLoft. I have also stayed at the nearby Hilton, but do not like it as they charge daily for parking, and it just isn't as nice as aLoft. Anyway, from what I can gather from the forum, both of these hotels have been won on Hotwire, and both have similar amenities. I also understand they both list as 3 stars. Has anyone found a way to tell the two apart? Or can anyone offer any other information of relevance on winning this aLoft location?

I will post what happens if I try this. I don't plan on booking for a few weeks. If I did choose to try this route, does that mean I would have to check in at the hotel desk for the remaining nights, possibly being switched rooms? And will it look odd to the hotel staff? (With the 2 reservations back to back?)

I am new to the forum but have some experience using Hotwire in the past. I am sorry if this has been asked/answered already, but I am curious if anyone knows if it is possible (in hopes of booking a particular hotel) to book just one night at the suspected hotel, and upon learning the hotels details, then go back to the same listing and book the remainder of the trip? I just considered this for the first time today, and was wondering if either 1) anyone has tried this, or 2) knows if Hotwire has a safegaurd against this sort of thing? Thanks in advance for any information.
