Hotwire Hotel: Identification? 4* Hollywood Beach Sept 4-7

[aeronan]

Hi

I need help identifying a 4* Hollywood Beach Sept 4-7, 2011 listed for $85.00.

Amenities:

Bed Choice (this is listed on the hotwire main page, but not on the pop-up window for all amenities)

Resort

Near Beach

Fitness Center

Pool

Restaurant

Business Center

High Speed Internet Access

Golf Nearby

Spa Services

I'm hoping it's either the Marriott or Westin. Don't want the Crowne Plaze.

Thanks so much!!

I think I've almost answered my own question. Both the Westin & the Marriot would be "on beach" not "beach nearby". So it's either the Crowne Plaza or the Westin's Country Club. What do you think? If this is what the Westin is doing..it is very deceitful.

The amenity combination above matches previous reports for the Westin Diplomat so that would be my best guess for this one (the Crowne Plaza has never been seen with a Spa icon)

Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

But does this guarantee a room in the Westin on the beach or is there a chance that I could be purchasing a room in their Country Club?

We can't guarantee anything. But the Country Club has not been seen with this amenitie combo so boards best guess would still be Westin on the beach since all signs leads to this.

I have the Marriott booked as a back-up plan. Right now, I'm afraid to book what I think is the Westin through Hotwire because of reading that some people have been sent to their County Club. No doubt a beautiful place, but we definitely want the beach.

Since I have time to watch this property on Hotwire & see what happens with others who win the Westin, I think I'll sit on this for awhile.

Thank you for keeping us updated. I would recommend keeping an eye on general rates in the area though, as if this is a popular time period, rates could ramp up while you're waiting. Additionally, the listing could change completely at and could instead point towards the Country Club or Crowne Plaza.

Please do let us know what you decide.

Just realizing I did not close out this thread. We booked directly with the Marriott & got an OK deal through a AAA rate. Really wanted this property.

Thanks for all your help.
