thereuare Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 Thanks... i've made the above changes.I believe that HOTWIRE is going thru a widespread rating change throughout their system, so there may be many more changes in the coming days/weeks.

BEAV Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 I believe that HOTWIRE is going thru a widespread rating change throughout their system, so there may be many more changes in the coming days/weeks.UGH...sorry to hear. What a time consuming task keeping these hotel lists updated, huh?I wish it were Priceline making what I feel are some much needed changes. Leaving Courtyard, Summerfield Suites, Residence Inn type properties common-rated at the 3 star level as full service Marriotts, Hiltons, Sheratons, etc, continues to be a major goof IMO.

betsybug Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Remove the two Holiday Inns in Lansing from hotel list. The south hotel was sold on Dec. 2 and is now a Causeway Bay Hotel, which wants to sell to another franchise after $4 million renovations. The west hotel lost its HI franchise. This is good news. Both were outdated lousy hotels. The parent group Intercontinental plans to build new hotels in the area - one or two more Holiday Inn Express and a Hotel Indigo in East Lansing. There is also a new Staybridge in Okemos, which I hope shows up on PL bidding at 2.5* or 3*. The way to check possible PL hotels and star levels before bidding is to input your dates on PL partner, Travelweb.com. A hotel listed there is usually a PL hotel.
