Hotwire Hotel: Help ID 3* Savannah Midtown

[Gallus50]

I'm a bit stumped by this one. Could use some help, please.

Amenities are: Free breakfast, free internet, fitness, business center, laundry (self-service), high speed internet, accessible for blind, accessible for deaf, accessible path of travel, in-room accessibility, accessible bathroom, handicapped parking, roll-in shower.

Price is $75, with a regular rack rate suggested @ $135. TA rating is 3.5/5. Recommended by 75% of Hotwire customers.

Anything else needed for ID, please let me know. Thanks.

This listing has not yet been ID'd/reported to the board. Best Western Central or Holiday Inn Express would be potential possibilities, although there may be others.

Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Thank you for your suggestions, but I'd be really surprised if this was the BW Central or the HIExpress.

The BW Central rack rate is about $72; the HI Express is $90. For HW to suggest the rack rate @ $135 would be kind of ludicrous. Also pretty sure the HI Express has a pool, and don't think the BW Central would be considered a 3*. Isn't it a 2.5* at best?

Anyone have any other ideas?

I wouldn't be surprised if it were either of those properties, although my guess would have been the Holiday Inn Express.

The retail rate shown by HOTWIRE is not the rate for the specific property offered, but rather is the median published rate for hotel(s) in the same neighborhood and star rating for your dates.

As well, while the hotel must have all the amenities shown by HOTWIRE, it does not need to show all the amenities the hotel offers. Some hotels have multiple amenity sets that they use on any given search, which by definition would imply that not all amenities are always shown on every search.

Thanks for the info. I still am pretty sure it wouldn't be the BW Central - many websites rate it at a straight 2*. If HW rated it 3*, I would complain like crazy if I landed it.

I was thinking this listing might be the Fairfield Inn Midtown, though they currently have a 4* TA rating. Then again, I know the TA ratings may not be real time......

If there is a good chance that this listing is the HI Express, I will probably pass. I can book the HIE on the EntertainmentHotelBucks website straight up for $75, and the fees are probably less. I'm going to check to see if I could cancel that, if necessary.

Will keep you posted on what I choose to do, and will use the links here, as usual.

I found a better way to get what I want with no uncertainty.

Liked the Country Inn Midtown that I booked on HW last year, and I discovered they have a Best Rate guarantee. It gives you 25% off the better rate you found on another website. Their site had rooms for over $100, but I found a king suite on Priceline that was $83. I booked their higher rate, then submitted claim form.

Net result: The verified the claim and we'll be staying in a two room king suite for $63 a night. Good location, nice people, nice place.

Sometimes HW and PL aren't the best way to go. I am happy.

(Used the BB link when I was researching PL regular retail....)

Glad you found something that works for your needs... sounds like a very nice deal and a property you know you'll be happy with.

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