Schwabette Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 I have been endlessly trying to analyze rates on every site I can think of, both travel and hotel, to try to figure out what this hotel is. Claims room rate to be $261 discounted to $137 for Nov 6-9.It hints of Hotel Monteleone, W New Orleans and I think Hyatt French Quarter to be in that category, but I am wondering what other hotels fit that profile that any have gotten via Hotwire.I've used Hotwire successfully in my own city of NYC numerous times, so I don't see why it work any differently for me in French Quarter, but I'm being a bit of a control freak wanting to know while getting more for my buck!Any thoughts? Thanks! Link to comment

Schwabette Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 I am guessing the Omni Royal Orleans, but will be interested in your thoughts! Link to comment
nut Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 I too am interested in knowing which hotel this is. I'm looking to stay in N.O. around the same dates. Any help is greatly appreciated! Link to comment
AaronJB Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 The Westin, Sheraton, Monteleone and a downgradd Omni would be possibilities - however, when I look at the detail page for the listing (click on the listing, then scroll down), I'm seeing a 4.5/5 tripadvisor rating which would have me lean towards this being a downgraded Omni with a different amenity set than previously seen.Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Schwabette Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 So, when you say downgraded Omni, you mean not the Royal, or do you mean the Royal may have been downgraded to a 4-star? Just want to be sure I understand your thoughts fully. Thanks! I could certainly live with any of the ones you mentioned! Link to comment

AaronJB Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 As for the 4*, the Omni Royal Orleans MAY have been downgraded and is also showing a new amenity set than has been reported previously. The others may also be a possibility, but the 4.5/5 tripadvisor rating on the detail page would lead me to lean towards the Omni.The 3* has not yet been ID'd/reported to the board. Please keep all posts regarding this stay within this thread - thanks.You can see the hotels that have been reported to the board in New Orleans here: Hotwire Hotel List Louisana.Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Schwabette Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Oh, sorry, I thought you would have wanted me to start a new thread regarding a different listing. I was trying to gauge whether the 3* option being presented was also great places; worth saving a few more bucks or not. Thanks for your patience with me. :) Link to comment
AaronJB Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Happy to help! :)Please let us know what you decide and if you have additional questions.Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches. Link to comment
Schwabette Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Am about to book the 4*. Then, you want me to post the details as outlined in the the new member instructions to this thread, correct? That helps the next person ID this property better by adding it to the Hotel list, yes?When you say that the 3* for $113 I inquired about hasn't been reported to your boards yet, isn't that me reporting it and requesting help, or does that mean something else? I was trying to weigh what that one could be to decide whether to take the risk on a 3* I normally wouldn't take. Sorry if I'm being a ditz. Link to comment
Schwabette Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 It was the OMNI ROYAL ORLEANS :) :) WOOO-HooooOO! That is the one I wanted. Thanks so much for you help...remind me how to post this win properly to ensure others have access to the information. My husband thinks I absolutely rock right now [not that he didn't already]! ;) xoxo Link to comment
AaronJB Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Congrats on your success. :)Great deal for this property and glad you are looking forward to your stay. Thank you for confirming the change in star rating and amenity set for this HOTWIRE property so that we can update the site's Hotwire Hotel List. (In terms of the 3* above, the listing has not yet been reported to the board, so it unfortunately remains unknown. The list at the link above provides the full list of what has been reported to the board in the state.)Thank you for sharing your win and please use the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.Enjoy your stay.

thereuare Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Thank you for sharing your results with the board.I believe there may have been more amenities than you listed in your post, which would not have been seen unless you clicked the 'See all' link during the check-out process.Can you please add a reply to this thread confirming the full list of amenities associated with this property... you can still view this information by going to HOTWIRE and clicking the MY ACCOUNT link near the top right of their home page.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Thanks!

Schwabette Posted May 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 I double checked that numerous times, and definitely used the "show all amenities" link, there is no "see all". The accessible for the deaf item was definitely the bottom of the list as listed above. Don't be confused with the other 3* option amenities I listed on the same thread.If the list remains as it was the other day, does that probably mean the same property on this offering stays? Wondering because we now have others that want to join us and get the same deal at same hotel. Thanks! :) Link to comment

thereuare Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Thanks for the follow-up/confirmation.If the all the characteristics of the current hotel are the same as when you purchased (and if the price differs by just a few dollars that's still OK too) then odds favor that it is the same hotel, but never any guarantees as sometimes there can be two hotels in the same zone (and at the same star rating) that look alike before purchase.If your friends decide to purchase please ask them to stop by the board and use the search boxes at the top of the board (or click the logos within them) to begin their purchase.Good luck!
