Hotwire Hotel: 3* Norfolk - Virginia Beach (Chesapeake) Hampton Inn Norfolk/Chesapeake

[stylamema]

Unfortunately it was the Hampton Inn on Woodlake Dr. I've been extremely disappointed with my Hotwire purchases in the past year and this was just another sign that I should just suck it up and book directly through the hotel. When I first logged on to HOTWIRE I saw 2 hotels in the area....this one w/ 85% rec and another for $79 pd w/ 95% rec. I decided to log into BB and use the HOTWIRE link provided here and was only given the $52 pd as a choice. Needless to say I'm very upset. I guess this site is only as good as the ppl who contribute to it so I'm doing my part in hopes that someone else will get a more accurate hotel chain range ( you know what I mean ... Lol). I think the older post re: this area is a little outdated ....I was really hoping it was the Hyatt Place ... Maybe the $79 pd was ... Well I guess I'll never know. I did purchase insurance just in case I had to cancel b/c of Sandy ... Really want to just book directly to Hyatt and use this purchase as a credit but I need to read the fine print. Another oddity ... After purchase I went back on HOTWIRE put in same search BOTH hotels listed again but no % of recommendation on $52 hotel ... This is what I mean a lot of games ... UGGGHHH!

Happy Bidding

Note that the amenities of this HOTWIRE purchase don't match previous reports for the Hyatt Place, so there was a pretty good chance that this was some other property. In the future feel free to ask the board for help before your next opaque purchase and hopefully we can help you receive a result that is more inline with your expectations.

Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

Enjoy your stay.
