jdvmd Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 AaronJB, since winning the James, I have been surprised to learn that this is considered a 4.5 on HOTWIRE's vacation package. Do I have any recourse with them? Link to comment
AaronJB Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 The vacation package side of the service was (and I think still is) powered by Expedia, which is a different service with (in some cases) different star ratings. You could call HOTWIRE and see what they say.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches. Link to comment
dunit627 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hi All,I'm new to the forum, however, I recently searched for a stay in South Beach for 3/21-3/25 and received an offer to stay at a 5* Miami (South Beach - Oceanfront Collins) deal for $266 p/night. Is it safe to say that the hotel will be The James Royal Palm? I appreciate the help you may be able to give to me.Take care! Link to comment
