Hotwire Hotel: 4* Boston (Cambridge) Le Meridien Cambridge

[Rhine-and-Roses]

After using your site for a couple of months to try to get a good rate for a Cambridge hotel, I finally got Le Meridien Cambridge at a great rate. There are new amenities for this hotel: Free Internet; Pet friendly; Fitness Center; Restaurant(s); Business Center; High-Speed Internet Access; Accessible path of travel; In-room accessibility; Accessible bathroom I am happy with this hotel and have had your help several times getting it. Last time just a couple of weeks ago.

I was fairly sure this would be Le Meridien based on the amenities (free internet, and during a recent stay I saw several dogs at the hotel.) The 4.0 instead of 4.5 Trip Advisor rating made me more sure, since the Marlowe is 4.5 on Trip Advisor. The HOTWIRE recommend rating was 95%, which I know can change at any time.

I'm still trying to cobble together three more nights directly after this stay, but feel quite lucky to have my back-up of $201 at the Westin Copley, since everything seems to be over $350 now. I'll keep looking and keep going through your site to browse. Unfortunately I got error messages for over an hour on HOTWIRE while I was trying to book this, so ended up having to call their line for help. If it helps you at all, this is the message I got some 25 times:

Access Denied

Thanks again for your great site.

I forgot to mention that while the site lists "What hotel? Here's a hint..." The hints do NOT necessarily include the hotel you actually get. (Marlowe, The Charles, and Veritas were the hints.) However, when I called, she told me,'Your hotel will be one of these..." and listed a good 6 four-star hotels in Cambridge, including Le Meridien. So I guess you get a more honest "hint" if you call. Currently what can be nothing but the Hyatt Cambridge (because of the TA rating and amenities) lists the exact same "hints". Personally, I find them misleading, bordering on questionable honesty.
