HeatherH Posted August 23, 2010 Report Posted August 23, 2010 Booked Sunday August 22nd. $49 when I booked, but the same hotel was listed as $55 when I first looked at it on Friday. Icons were smoke free, comp breakfast, pool, internet, and fitness. Rated 95% positive reviews on Hotwire, but the TA rank was not ever working/visible. Going for $126 on Expedia et. al. for those dates, so I got quite a good deal!Reading the comments in the linked reviews on Hotwire gave some great hints and made it pretty easy to know which hotel it was before I booked. Once I had it narrowed down based on the icons, clues such as a "wetbar", "small bathroom with the sink/vanity in the main room", "spacious room with a couch and a large flat screen TV" and descriptions of the free breakfast left no doubt which property it was. I just crosschecked that info with the TripAdvisor reviews. I kept having trouble being able to view the reviews on Hotwire - sometimes they are there, sometimes the reviews tab is just gone. Anyone else have that problem?

HeatherH Posted August 24, 2010 Author Report Posted August 24, 2010 Nope, definitely no business center icon, just the five I listed. Also, I meant to add that the hotel only came up as available on my list when my dates requested spanned at least 5 days total.
