Hotwire Hotel: Sorrento 4.5* 8/31 - 9/7/2012 - Hotwire

[jicms]

I was going to take a gamble with this but have now seen that the Crowne Plaza Stabiae Sorrento Coast is the only listed hotel for Sorrento. Is this likely to be the allocated hotel as I definitely don't want to be this far out from Sorrento (feel it's a bit of a con really to have their only secret hotel at the tip of their Sorrento area map! Hotwire give it a 4.5* rating, but what does that mean as hotels don't use half ratings so presume it's just Hotwire's interpretation. Amenities are

Fitness Center

Pool(s)

Restaurant(s)

Business Center

High-Speed Internet Access

Free Parking

Free Breakfast

While the Crowne Plaza would be one possibility for this HOTWIRE offer, the Grand Hotel La Pace would appear to be a likely candidate as well.

Since this an extended stay you could see if this same property is offered for the first (or last) nite of your stay and then again for the balance. If so, you could purchase the solo nite in order to 'look behind the curtain'. If you're happy with the results purchase the remaining nites, if not, make alternate plans for the balance of your stay.

The HOTWIRE price seems very high if it is for either of these two hotels, neither of which I would go for.

Thanks. This technique sounds great so I'll try it in future. I'll let you know if I book another Hotwire named deal.

Made a direct booking with a central hotel as insufficient choice with HOTWIRE in the area.
