coast2coast21 Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 So I'm looking to book something for about 2 weeks, from June 5th-20th or so...I've been checking Hotwire the past couple days. There's one hotel that stood out to me because of the combination of the price and reviews. That hotel was the TradeWinds Apartment Hotel.Here's the issue: the hotel list on this board shows that it's a 3.5*. When I checked it the past few days, it was showing up for $65-66 as a 3.5*.NOW... I'm getting the same property description and a similar price ($61) but it suddenly shows 3*. Could this be another hotel, or did it change star levels overnight? I'm pretty sure it has to be the TradeWinds because nothing else really matches the price and amenities that I've been seeing the past few days. Amenities:-Near Beach -Studio -Fully Equipped Kitchenette-Smoke-Free Rooms-Airport Shuttle-Daily Housekeeping-Pool-24 Hour Front Desk-Laundry Facilities-Boutique Hotel-CondoSo TradeWinds changed from a 3.5* to a 3*, or it's not TradeWinds.What do you guys think?

yellowdog Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Sure, the star rating can change at anytime.Do you see the same TA rating, amount of HOTWIRE reviews and the same resort fee for this 3* like you did on the 3.5*?Please use the board's PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your purchases and searchesYellowdog.

coast2coast21 Posted May 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Yeah they both said 80% recommended, and they both showed a resort fee. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 This listing has not yet been ID'd/reported to the board, but a downgraded Tradewinds would be a possibility.Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches. Link to comment
coast2coast21 Posted May 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Forgot to mention that the listing I saw a few days ago that did match the 3.5* TradeWinds has since disappeared... I guess I'll just have to pull the trigger. Link to comment

coast2coast21 Posted May 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Oh shi*t.I meant to type "posting to confirm that TradeWinds is now* 3*."Sorry about that. Link to comment
coast2coast21 Posted May 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 The dates were June 5th-20th. With those dates, the price was $61/night.We broke them down to two stays because it was cheaper.June 5th-14th = $61/night.June 14th-20th = $58/night.It came out cheaper that way, although the taxes added up to more.Does anyone know why the taxes are more for shorter stays?

thereuare Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Does anyone know why the taxes are more for shorter stays?The booking fee per nite gets cheaper each additional nite... think of it as a volume discount.Please have your friend post him/herself for any further questions for this stay and have other post on their own behalf in the future.Thanks.
