Please check HOTWIRE and let us know if the hotel above still appears as i don't see it on a current search.

If you do still see it, how many rooms and/or people are you using in your search?

[anng3]

Its $68 for 1 person 1 room.

Does anyone else see this offering on a HOTWIRE search?

I have run multiple searches on multiple computers and only come up with a 3* with Breakfast, Pool, Fitness, Golf, Tennis, Laundry.

...although i don't believe either has been identified.

My bet is that the 3* hotel you're seeing is the Holiday Inn in Mission Beach. I can't find any notes about it in my list, probably because I didn't like the hotel so I blocked it from my memory, though I try to report all my purchases here. While it is in Mission Beach, it is not near the water, and is not in a great neighborhood. The hotel was brand new, but service was awful! The maids set new towels on my bed but didn't even make the beds. When I returned to the hotel late that night and called the front desk, they said no one was available to make the beds, but I could come to the front desk and pick up clean sheets if I wanted. Holiday Inn ended us sending me $30 in gift vouchers for a later stay at a different property.

As I remember it, they served free continental breakfast, and the amenities on hotwire included golf and tennis, even though the hotel didn't have either (my understanding is that those services are only required to be available within a certain distance for the hotel to include them). The hotel had internet and you could send a fax from the front desk, so probably had a business center icon, and they did have a pool and workout room, and most Holiday Inns have a laundry center. The listings showing less amenities may just be excluding some to try to remain "opaque".

Hope this helps.
