Hotwire Hotel: 3* Beaver Creek Christie Lodge

[Traida]

First on board to attempt a 3-star in Beaver Creek: took one for the team :P

With the amenities including:

- free parking

- suite

- indoor pool(s)

- fitness center

- kitchenette

I was expecting the Sheraton Mountain Vista Villas (also listed as 3-star on hotwire rankings but not for the 'hotwire hot rate' on this site). I was disheartened to see Christie Lodge since the standard room rate on hotwire = $333 (inc tax) for my 2 night stay and I paid just under $300 (only a 10% savings).

SUGGESTION: The same trip could have been booked at the lower amenity Comfort Inn Beaver Creek 2.5-star for $211 (inc tax) for 2 nights vs. the standard room rate of $322 (around a 30% savings). The Comfort Inn does have a nice, free continental breakfast with eggs, sausages, waffles, yogurt, juices, cereal, fruit, etc. for those interested.

Oh well, live and learn! I have yet to stay at Christie but from the pictures it doesn't appear to be all that the Sheraton is (I have stayed at the Sheraton). Here's to hoping things are better than expected! Either way, I hope this information helps some others who might be looking at the same hotwire hotel (at least now you can compare Christie to another you're investigating).

***Edit: I just looked at the Christie website directly: Rooms were going for $312.47 so this equates to under a 5% savings)...it's still something but certainly the lowest Hotwire discount I have ever received.
