Hotwire Hotel: 4* DC (Dupont Circle-Embassy Row) Hilton Washington and Towers

4* Washington Hilton (Embassy Row / Dupont Circle) $98 Hotwire rate 7/23/11 to 7/28/11

HOTWIRE description is NOT acccurate. It says "95% customer satisfaction" which is far from the truth. Whether you look at Tripadvisor, Travelocity, Yelp, or anything else, the average approval rating is about 3 stars out of 5. I am annoyed at the deception, as I never would have chosen this property, which has little to recommend it, other than (I understand) being clean.

I had hoped to get the Palomar which DOES have a 95% approval rating, or the Omni Shoreham, both of which are far nicer properties than this older (built in 1965) Hilton. It did finish a major renovation last month (June of 2011) but from recent posts I understand that the rooms, while improved, are still nothing to write home about. I also understand that it still doesn't have WiFi in the rooms (???), only in the lobby.

At least it appears to be bedbug-free, as the only report of that I can find was a single report from about 18 months ago.

This is my first disappointing bidding experience in several years.

Sorry to see you're disappointed in the results. I presume wired Internet access is available in the rooms?
