Hotwire Hotel: Help ID 4* Austin Downtown

[tjw]

Need help to ID this 4* Austin Downtown Hotel

$186.63 /night - Dates 10/21/10 - 10/24/10

Amenities:

Fitness

Pool

Restaurant

Business Center

Hi-Speed Internet

Tennis

On the Hotwire list, it looks like this could be the Hilton or Intercontinental - either would be fine with me. Under one of those descriptions - that includes 'tennis' - it states "same as the Hilton, Intercontinental, Omni". I do not want the Omni, especially at that price. Does the Omni often - or ever - include 'tennis' as an amenity?

What's your best guess for this price and amenity list?

Thanks!

Can you please confirm that you're looking at a 4* hotel. I see a 3.5* with that price and amenitie set.

And this is not a HOTWIRE opaque hotel, this is a Hotels.com listing. Just click continue and you'll see the name Hilton Garden Inn, Capitol Place.

Yes, this is 4* not 3.5. Today the same 5 amenities are listed for $289.00 per night. Wish I'd gotten more info 2 weeks and $100. ago :)

Does this HOTWIRE link work presently... as it's working fine on this end?

If not, please send me a PM to troubleshoot (it's usually one of two likely possibilities)

[tjw]

Yes, this HOTWIRE link worked. Still the same amenities, still the higher $289. (rather than the $186.63) price.

Are you willing to pay $289/nite for this stay or are you waiting/hoping for lower prices?

Repost below from September 2nd -- Although the price changed to $289/nt on Sept 18th, "tennis" was still listed as an amenity. On Sept 22rd, price is still at $289/nt but no longer shows "tennis" as an amenity. Presuming this to be the same hotel because of the price (that was higher than the other area hotels listed back on the 2nd,) would still appreciate any help IDing this hotel before it is no longer available, as most several downtown hotels are sold out.

I'm not sure i'm following 100%...

Searching HOTWIRE for your dates at the moment i see a 4* hotel in the Downtown zone for $252.33/nite with Fitness, Pool, Restaurant, Business, Internet

This is not an 'opaque' offering... if you click the CONTINUE button the next page shows you that this is the AT&T Hotel and Conference Center at the University of Texas

Is this what you're seeing or are you being offered something different?
