Hotwire Hotel: Help ID Allentown ABE hotel - no shuttle

[RBirns]

My search (for Fri 8/20/10) lists 3* Lehigh Valley Intl Airport ABE - Bethlehem area Hotel with the following:

Fitness center

Pool

Business center

It's the lowest priced 3* on the search ($59), recommended by 85% of reviews.

Most posted wins on the forum show hotels that include restaurant and/or airport shuttle. This one lists neither. Any idea what hotel this is?

Welcome to BetterBidding!

I'm not currently seeing this property offered on a current HOTWIRE search for your dates... are you still seeing this on your own search? If so, are you searching for more than one room or for more than the default 2adults/0children?

It's still there, but now it's $62, and it's recommended by 90%. Search is for 2 rooms, 2 adults, 2 kids.

When I run the same search for 1 room with just 2 adults (no kids), it's $59 and recommended by 85%, just like yesterday. If I search for 1 room with all 4 people, this hotel does not appear.

Any idea what 3* hotel by ABE airport does not have a shuttle?

[RBirns]

I think it's the Courtyard Allentown Bethlehem. Looks like the only decent hotel near the airport that does not have a shuttle. With a "retail" price of $109 on all search engines, the Hotwire price of $59 seems right.

The hotel much have all the amenities shown by HOTWIRE... but doesn't have to show all the amenities it has. In other words, this hotel may actually have a shuttle, but just choose not to show it among their amenity listings.

When i search for your dates and occupancy i'm seeing a 3* hotel at $53 with Breakfast, Fitness, Pool, Business.

This may be the same property that you're seeing above but now with a Breakfast icon too, but if so, it would exclude this property from being the Courtyard since they don't supply a complimentary breakfast.

I don't see that one at all. My search still shows the same as before. Even if I switch to one room, the hotel you describe doesn't show up (but mine disappears).

As for that Courtyard, if you go directly to their website, it says "this hotel does not provide shuttle service".

[RBirns]

And now I have been informed (thru another thread) that there are no Courtyards listed on the Hotwire list for all of Pennsylvania. Makes me doubt whether this is the Courtyard after all.

Plese read your messages... then reply to this thread with the number of rooms/guests you need and how many you're searching for.

Searching for 2 rooms, 2 adults, 2 kids, 8/20-8/21 (one night). Still showing 3* with fitness, pool, business (no shuttle) for $59.

This propery has not yet been reported to the board, and with just these three amenity icons showing i don't think we'll be able to offer much insight as there are at least a dozen hotels in this zone with a pool icon which could be rated 3* by HOTWIRE.

Let us know whatever you decide to do for this stay or if we can be of further help.
