This property has not yet been reported to the board and I don't have any insight as to which one it may be... the Holiday Inn Express would be a guess, but i'm really not certain.

In fact, I was hoping for the Holiday Inn Express, and it was my guess too, but with no tripadvisor rating and no guest reviews, I think I'm going to wait a little more. Thank you.

Just an update. Price went down to $66 and decided to go for it, and it was the Oak Tree Inn. Not really happy with the outcome, though, since Hotwire has it listed as 2.5* but Tripadvisor has it under 2* only. I checked Tripadvisor previously and thought all the 2.5* looked ok, so decided to go for it, but it was only a 2*. I checked different websites and they all have it listed as a 2*. Is there anything I could do about it, if the star rating from Hotwire is different from Tripadvisor and other websites?

Used your HOTWIRE link to start the purchase.

Sorry to see you're disappointed with the results of this purchase.

Travelocity (rightly or wrongly) rates this property 3* which is what may be skewing the star rating assigned by HOTWIRE. You can try giving HOTWIRE a call and let them know that you don't feel that you're getting what you agreed to since all the other companies rate this property 2* and you were expecting a 2.5* hotel.

Usually they will ask that you 'give the hotel a try' and at least show up and if there are tangible issues that you can't resolve with the hotel then call them and they're usually a bit more willing to work with you, but you can certainly give it a try beforehand.

Thank you for using the HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your purchase and sharing your results, helping us add this property to the Hotwire Hotel List.

Enjoy your stay... hope it goes better than expected.

If you want to edit the topic title, it's supposedly a 2.5* hotel, not a 2*.

FIXED... thanks!
