Cheapo Traveler

Hi, this is in Paris at the Villa Lutece 4* at the end of March. This was not one of the "red" hotels offered without the name, it was a "grey" one where they gave you the name of the hotel up front. Only amenity was complimentary breakfast. My hotwire e-mail confirmation says "complimentary breakfast" on it. I e-mailed the hotel and their response was that breakfast was not included. :)

I booked a hotel through Hotwire, and hotwire lists free breakfast amenity on my confirmation. I sent the hotel an e-mail to confirm room and bed prefs, but hotel says breakfast is not included in my rate, but available for $20pp. Should I call hotwire and let them know beforehand? Does hotwire issue refunds for this? I'd be happy to go find breakfast elsewhere if I had $20pp removed from my hotel booking.
