Hotwire Hotel: 4* Du Pont - Need help IDing please

[cherikm]

I'm looking for a hotel in DC for May 16-19th, and found a Hotwire price of $189 for a four star in Dupont Circle. The ammenities are:

smoke free, fitness center, restaurant, business center and hi speed internet. The property is recommended in 90% of Hotwire reviews. Can you possibly help ID this hotel for me?

Please follow-up your previous Hotwire Santa Rosa thread with whatever you ended up doing for that stay... then reply to this topic and we'll have a look at the offer above.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Thanks.

Sorry I never finished off my Santa Rosa post. All done now and I'd really appreciate your best guess on my DC option. I did use the HOTWIRE link from this website.

These amenities are common for a 4* hotel in most cities and the above matches previous reports for the Hotel Palomar, The Dupont Hotel and the Westin City Center... so any of these would be likely outcomes.

Let us know whatever you decide to do for this stay or if we can be of further help.

Thanks, the first two options would be great, but the Westin is not really in the Dupont Circle area (although Hotwire says it is) and too far from my daughter's apartment so I think I'll pass and keep looking through the non opaque sites. It's really a pricey time for DC I'm finding.

I do have one more question. The thing that puzzles me is the 90% customer rating. I looked on Hotwire as if to book a vacation package, which identifies the hotels, and none of the three possibles has a 90% customer rating. In fact the only 90% rating I could find was the Fairfax Embassy Row, which is 4.5*. Any thoughts?

[AaronJB]

The HOTWIRE customer % ratings are not reliable indicators of a property; there nothing to check current ratings against (as there is when tripadvisor ratings are showing on the detail page for a HOTWIRE listing.) I believe the vacation package side of the service is powered by Expedia.

I'm still looking for a reasonable option for this purchase, and Hotwire is now showing a 3.5 property in the DuPont Circle area for $205 that includes a complimentary breakfast, pool, tennis and golf nearby, fitness, free internet, business center. Can't seem to match this up with anything. Can you help identify?

Thanks
