slinky10 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 I used the HOTWIRE link from this forum and found a 3* in Carlsbad. Thanks to this forum, I figured it was Hyatt House. Really happy with this rate, especially with free parking and free breakfast.Listed amenities:Free ParkingFree Breakfast Free InternetSmoke Free Rooms Fitness Center Pool(s)Business Center Laundry Facilities (self-service) High-Speed Internet AccessAccessible for the blind Accessible for the deaf Accessible path of travelIn-room accessibility Accessible bathroom Handicapped parkingRoll-in showerOne more thing. I saw some previous discussion about Hotwire's new look and the "Hotels in this class" information. On the preview page for this win, the listed hotels in this class were Carlsbad by the Sea, Courtyard by Marriott San Diego/Carlsbad, Carlsbad Seapointe Resort, Residence Inn Marriott Carlsbad, and Hilton Garden Inn Carlsbad beach. So, interestingly, this property wasn't listed in the hotel class info (same goes for Hotwire's mobile site). Maybe all "Hotels in this class" information excludes the actual brand that's being advertised at that rate? Also interesting was that some of these hotels aren't 3 star hotels (by Hotwire's labeling) or haven't been on Hotwire at all (Hilton Garden Inn, as far as I know).Thanks! Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Congratulations on your success! Glad to see you received the hotel you were hoping for and are pleased with the results.Can you confirm if there was also a BUSINESS CENTER amenity associated with this property... you can still view the complete list of amenities associated with your purchase by going to HOTWIRE and clicking the MY ACCOUNT link near the top right of their home page.We have seen hotel both included and excluded from the "get a hotel like..." that HOTWIRE shows during the booking process. My guess is that they have a list of 'x' hotels in an area and just rotate them in/out of the listings (with a few filters to make sure that the hotel isn't sold-out for the dates in question, the room rate is not lower then the rate HOTWIRE is currently showing, etc, etc)Thank you for sharing your results and using the HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your purchase.

slinky10 Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Yes the Business center amenity was also listed. The list I posted was copied from the confirmation email. Thanks. Link to comment
