scoggsie Posted May 29, 2003 Report Posted May 29, 2003 Started at $60 and added free rebids until I got to $80. This was for July 10-12.

houston37 Posted June 3, 2003 Report Posted June 3, 2003 Yes it is a 4*. It is a great place to stay...but beware when bidding that you don't end up at the omni overlooking I-10 which is same zone overlooking I-10 :)
scoggsie Posted June 3, 2003 Author Report Posted June 3, 2003 I doubled checked and it is now a 4*. I presume the Omni is now also a 4* so you still might end up at the Omni instead of the Westin but we were prepared to take that chance. And yes, I did up my bid each time by 5$ until I hit. My wife, daughter, brother and nephews think I'm a genius for getting this! I wonder what they would have said about the Omni? :)

houston37 Posted July 4, 2003 Report Posted July 4, 2003 While I have not stayed at the Omni but have stayed at the Westin La Cantera several times. I have no 'beef' with the NW zone Omni... it is just a very different hotel than La Cantera. The La Cantera Westin is really a resort. I used to be classified as one.. but since it was the only one in the zone...I guess it was 'too popular' and reclassified to a 4 star. Some have speculated that the Westin didn't like being the only hotel of that type in that zone...they figured out that people were figuring out that they were sure to get the westin by bidding NW Resort. The omni is nice from what I understand but just different... would suit perhaps more a business person ... it overlooks the freeway while the Westin overlooks the fmaous hill country and a gold course. The westin has resort like pools and a golf course... the omni only has an indoor pool (I understand) So it's not that the omni is bad... but it wouldn't be where I would want to stay on a weekend getaway with the westin just a few miles away!
