Hotwire Hotel: 2* Atlanta (Midtown) Days Inn Northwest

[jb107756]

Wanted to lock in early for conference next November. Internet was only amenity listed.

Two questions for thereuare. There is no listing for Savings barn on the SUPPORT BETTER BIDDING Page. Is this an oversight or a requirement of either Priceline or Savings Barn? You must send a lot of business to Savings Barn. Does Savings Barn support this site?

As I've said before, I'd prefer using your software link to HOTWIRE and help support this site at least a small amount, rather than using Priceline and have nothing go to supporting this site.

Thanks for the 'vote' of confidence...

We're more than satisified if you use SavingsBarn.com for your priceline purchases and our own HOTWIRE link for any purchases thru Hotwire.

Thanks!

I received the following email from Hotwire, and thought it was important to let users of this web site know about this downgrade. Based on another popular web site's reviews of this hotel, I must say I am not surprised. Think their offer is pretty generous:

We periodically review our representation of our hotel partners' star

rating and decided to adjust this property's rating to 1.0 star. While

we are confident in the quality of all our hotel partners, the new

rating more accurately reflects the service level, accommodations, and

facilities of this property.

Due to this modification, we would like to offer you the option of

either canceling your reservation for a full refund or keeping the

reservation and receiving 186.11 HotDollars good for any flight, hotel,

discounted car, or package booking on the Hotwire Web site. One

HotDollar is equivalent to one U.S. Dollar.

Thank you for passing along the star rating change.

Did you choose to take the 'hot dollars' or cancel the reservation?

In regards to your first post, please also note that we now have our own links to both PRICELINE and HOTWIRE... the search boxes at the top of the page, the links in my sigature below, and in the support page.

Decided to take the refund. Not only was it a dumpy hotel (172 of 196 at a popular hotel review web site), but it was well outside what I would call Midtown Atlanta. If you look at the map for Midtown, it seems to have an irregular shape just to include this establishment.

Rebooked for Holiday Inn Select Capitol Conference Center for Nov. 7 - 10 at $69 per night, total $244.39, which is BEST VALUE with the 4 amenities listed with your site: Fitness, Restaurant, Business, Laundry. It is 93 of 196 and on a direct bus route to the Convention Center, as well as having a shuttle to the downtown core.

Hope that you will still get your cut as the original booking was done through your site, although the revised booking was done over the phone.

Well done in getting the Priceline site to allow you to direct business their way through your site.

Thanks for the update/follow-up.

Can you please start a NEW TOPIC for you new purchase so that we can leave the topic title of this thread in-tact.

Glad to hear you're happy with the <new> results.

Enjoy your stay.
