Welcome to BetterBidding!

Thank you for the update on this property's rating and amenities.

I often say that reviews should be read, but also they're not the 'end all, be all' as i often have very different expectations and experiences if my room rate is $50 vs. $200.

Enjoy your stay.

Well, I got an email from Hotwire stating that

"We are contacting you about your upcoming stay at the Wyndham Westshore. Based on feedback we have received from other Hotwire guests, we have decided to adjust the star rating to 3 stars. While we are confident in the quality of all our hotel partners, the new rating more accurately reflects the service level, accommodations and facilities of this property.

As such, we would like to offer you the option of either canceling the reservation for a full refund, or keeping the reservation and receiving 90.48 HotDollars good for any future purchase on the Hotwire Web site. "

I ended up cancelling the Wyndham rather than taking the credit due to a post I'd seen a couple days before on the Priceline board that someone won the Homestead Studio Tampa North Airport for $28 a night. I know it's not as nice as the Wyndham, but it's still a pretty decent place and for only $28 a night! So I cancelled, and successfully bid on the Homestead Studio Suites Tampa North Airport for $28 per night. Saved me $110 bucks over 2 nights (when including the fees).

Figure I'd post this info here since Hotwire has given the Wyndham back it's 3* rating.
