Here is a tip to consider when choosing a hotel on Hotwire or choosing between using Hotwire or Priceline...

On this trip, I could have got a 4* in the same zone for $64 (perhaps one of the Hyatts)

So, why would I take a 3* for just $4 less?

Here is why:

On this trip, I was driving with my wife and kids. Had I booked the 4* I would have had pay ~ $25 a day for parking (or maybe a tad bit less for a surface lot with in/out privliges a few blocks away.

Besides the parking cost, the Pear Tree (with free parking) offers a free hot breakfast which saves me about $25 a day for a family of 4, plus free food and drinks for 2 hours in the evening and free popcorn and sodas all night, free internet in the rooms, plus this hotel has a pool a few of the downtown 4 star hotels do not.

If I had used Priceline, I would not be sure to get a hotel with free breakfast & free parking so for me, this was the best approach.

Thanks betterbidding for your help.

Terrific deal for this property, which offers a lot of nice bonuses; sometimes a 3* is definitely better for the situation/occasion. Glad you are pleased with the result.
