Hotwire Hotel: 4* DC (Dupont Circle-Embassy Row) Hotel Palomar

[SavvyTraveler]

Would love your help in identifying a 3.5* hotel in the Dupont/Embassy Row area for 2 adults from 10/14/11-10/16/11.

Amenities listed are: Boutique, Fitness Center, Restaurant, Business Center, and Internet

Hotwire is still gathering reviews for the property.

I just clicked through! Should I do anything else?

Thanks!

Are you still seeing this property on a current HOTWIRE search as i'm not seeing any 3.5* hotel offered in this zone?

If you are still seeing this property, what is the room rate per nite?

You're right, it's gone now but now there is a 4 star for $123 in the Dupont-Embassy Row Area for the same dates with No Smoking, Fitness Center, Restaurant, Business Center, and Internet. According to the Hotwire list, it could be the Hotel Dupont, the Hotel Palomar, or the Westin City Center. Is there any way to tell which one it is? It says it's recommended in over 90% of Hotwire customer reviews but I don't really see where to see the Hotwire reviews of the property. I liked it better when they listed the trip advisor rating.

The HOTWIRE % ratings are unfortunately not a reliable indicator as there's no way to check them against a listing (similar to tripadvisor) and they've been seen to change from search-to-search at times.

Are you also seeing a boutique icon with this listing?

Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

I'm seeing a 4* in this zone with the amenities above, but it's priced at $171/nite.

HOWEVER, i'm also see a 4.5* property priced at just $126/nite with:

Boutique, Fitness, Restaurant, Business, Internet, Tennis

For which my best guess would be the Fairfax at Embassy Row

Let us know if you see this property, or the previous one still priced at $123/nite, and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

Things have changed again so now I see a 4* for $132 with Boutique, No Smoking, Fitness Center, Restaurant, Business Center, and Internet. Just booked it and turns out to be the Hotel Palomar, just like your list says. Thanks for all your help!!!
