Hotwire Hotel: 2* Cocoa Beach (Melbourne) Super 8 Melbourne

[moondogge]

Hello, I am booking a one night stay for towmorrow Feb 14th in Melbourne, FL and there is a 2* hotel with the following amenities:

Complimentary Breakfast, High-Speed Internet Access

Is this the Holiday Inn Express? Did it get downgraded from the 2.5* rating? Thanks, otherwise I will go with the 3* Melbourne area which is the Holiday Inn Vierra, which I have booked multiple times. Thanks,

Ty

P.S. Some how I posted this to the New York Priceline forum on accident. Couldn't figure out how to delete it. Sorry,

Well, I booked the hotel and it was the Super 8 in Melbourne. Not "super" excited but oh well. The savings came to only $3.98 over the Super 8 website. Very dissapointed, but it is the first dissapointment I have had ever with Hotwire or Priceline.

I don't think the 2* is the Holiday Inn Express... the Super 8 Melbourne is a more likely expectation for that one, imo.

So quick update. I arrived at the Super 8 in Melbourne and it was pretty bad. A very old property and not well maintained. I deceided to book another hotel via Hotwire and I knew in advance it was the Holiday Inn Viera. I sent an email via Hotwire express and really expected nothing, but to my shock they refunded the Super 8 charges in Hotwire dollars and gave me a bonus $25 on top of that. Very pleased with this level of customer service. Just wanted to share. Thanks!

Glad to see HOTWIRE worked with you on this one and that you were able to find a suitable replacement on short notice.

Can you please add a reply to this thread with the room rate for the Super 8, as well as post your Holiday Inn purchase as a NEW TOPIC so that others will be aware of that win when searching the topic titles on the board and in the Priceline and Hotwire Calendar of Wins (in your post please include star rating, city, zone, hotel, room rate, dates, and amenities shown before your purchase... you can still view all of this information by going to HOTWIRE and clicking the MY ACCOUNT link near the top right of their home page.
