Hotwire Hotel: Help Identifying 3.5* - $92 Pasadena Hotel 9/30 - 10/2

[antcwong]

Need help identifying which 3.5* Pasadena hotel for $92 (9/30/11 - 10/2/11)

Seems like a toss up between the Sheraton, Hilton and Westin. The only 3.5* in the area. But I need to book the Westin. The Amenities are:

Smoke Free Rooms

Guest rooms at this hotel are always smoke-free.

Fitness Center

Guests have access to exercise equipment; an additional charge may apply.

Pool(s)

Property offers at least one pool area; hours and dates of operation may be seasonal.

Restaurant(s)

Property offers at least one restaurant on the premises; hours and days of operation may vary.

Business Center

Guests have access to business equipment and services; an additional charge may apply.

High-Speed Internet Access

Guestrooms are equipped with high-speed Internet access; an extra charge may apply.

Thanks everyone!

Welcome to BetterBidding, antcwong.

I noticed in Hotwire's retail product (click the blue tab on HW that says "MORE HOTELS") that Westin Pasadena is now upgraded to 4* from 3.5*. Hotwire isn't offering any opaque 4* in Pasadena for your dates. I don't know if this 3.5* is Shearton or Hilton, but I don't think it's Westin. Sorry!

Good catch...didn't even notice that. I guess I'll have to keep looking. Thanks for the help!

No problem, got your message and went through the HOTWIRE link. Any advice for this stay?

Are you only interested in the Westin, or would other properties be acceptable?

Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Properties offered thru the 'opaque' and 'retail' listings thru HOTWIRE don't necessary have the same star rating on each side of the service... so while i'm not saying the above is the Westin, it can't be excluded based upon it being 3.5* rated thru the retail product.

Did you find out which hotel it is? I'm looking at a 3.5 in Pasadena for 8/19-8/21 and it gives the same six amenities that you listed, price of $95 a night. It also says that 95% of people recommend that hotel. Does that help narrow it down?

I'm also hoping for the Westin as it came recommended by two friends.

Thanks!

Oh! I thought the ratings were the same in HW opaque and retail. Sorry if I steered you wrong, antcwong. :)
