Doppelganger Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Trying to identify two possible hotels for an upcoming vacation.Hotel #1: West Charleston area: 3*, $66/night from 6/20 to 6/23Amenities: Suite, Near Beach, Complimentary Breakfast, Fitness Center, Pool(s), Business Center, Laundry Facilities, High-speed Internet Access, Golf Nearby, KitchenetteRecommended in 70% of customer reviews with 10+ total reviews. It seems like it could be the Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham, but I'm not sure. I don't know how that qualifies as "within easy walking distance of a beach."Hotel #2: Greenville: 3*, $46/night from 6/23 - 6/26Amenities: Airport Shuttle, Complimentary Breakfast, Fitness Center, Pool(s), Laundry Facilities, High-speed Internet AccessRecommended in 75% of customer reviews with 100+ total reviews. I don't see ANY hotels on TripAdvisor with 100+ reviews, so I assume HOTWIRE is pulling reviews from more than just TripAdvisor. Link to comment

thereuare Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 The West Charleston property has not yet been reported to the board, but the Hawthorn Suites seems like a good fit and that would be my best guess for this one.For the Greenville property, a 3* hotel with this amenity combination has not yet been seen, but the La Quinta Inn and Suites Greenville Haywood has previously been reported with this amenity combination but at the 2.5* level... i'd speculate that it has been upgraded to a 3* hotel and that would be my best guess here.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

Doppelganger Posted June 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Thanks for the help and suggestions for this trip. I ended up booking direct.For Greenville, I didn't want to get the Hyatt at 3.5* because then I'd have to pay for parking, internet, and breakfast. I didn't want to get the La Quinta at 3* because their base room is a Double and I would potentially not have the opportunity to upgrade to a King, or would have to pay to do so.The Hilton Garden Inn had a special at $67/night that includes free breakfast, and by booking it through Entertainment.com I should be able to get a $50 rebate, so I did that.For Charleston, the most attractive options on Hotwire were 3* properties in either West Charleston or Ashley River area. The 3* in West Charleston was a suite with kitchenette and free breakfast, most likely the Hawthorn. The 3* in the Ashley River area could have been the Holiday Inn, Best Western, or Courtyard. Although these would be closer to downtown, they would not include all the free amenities provided by the Hawthorn. The Hotwire rate for the Hawthorn (assuming that's what it is) is not much better than booking direct ($62 vs. $69), so I booked direct to again take advantage of the Entertainment Book rebate.
