Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Jacksonville (Downtown) Crowne Plaza

[lhoising]

I bought from hotwire 2-3 years ago, the hyatt for around 45/night for memorial day weekend (jazz festival). This will be for 2 adults or 2 adults and 2 kids. Assuming now just 2 adults. I was trying to do the same last year but nothing was available in that range.

This year I am looking and I see a 2*, 3* and 3.5* in downtown jacksonville for 5/27 - 5/29. I am not sure which hotel is which because your site lists crown plaza as 3.5* and hyatt as 4*. So I think things have changed since I do not know that any new hotels have been built. I know that the Hotels.com listed price option on hotwire for crown plaza lists it as a 3.5* (shows up when checking 5/27-5/29 for 2 adults and 2 children). So was the Hyatt downgraded all the way to a 3 or is it possible that hotwire unlisted price and Hotels.com listed price on hotwire have crown plaza at two different star ratings? Does that make sense? I know neither guess is a sure thing but I would prefer the Hyatt.

In other questions, the Omni listed as Hotels.com listed price is 4* but there is no 4* option for unlisted. Is it that Omni is not available or could hotwire have it has a 3.5* and have a different star rating system than listed Hotels.com.

Here is what I am looking at:
