Hotwire Hotel: 3* San Diego (Mission Valley - Hotel Circle) Town and Country

[trukyram]

Based on what I've read on this forum and using the HOTWIRE link from this forum, I have a likely ID for a 3* San Diego Hotel (Sea World-Mission Bay-Shelter Island) being the Wyndham Garden for $80 per night plus taxes & fees (3 nights) for 2 adults/2 children for 6/13-6/16. These are the amenities:

Free Parking

Free Internet

Pet friendly

Smoke Free Rooms

Pool(s)

Restaurant(s)

Business Center

Laundry Facilities (self-service)

High-Speed Internet Access

Accessible for the deaf

Accessible path of travel

In-room accessibility

Accessible bathroom

Handicapped parking

Roll-in shower

When looking directly at the Hotel's website, the handicap-accessible rooms have full-sized beds, but there are rooms for the same price that have queen-sized beds offered (not handicap accessible), as well. We are traveling with two teenagers and really need queen beds. My question is this -- Since the description lists all of the accessible amenities, does that mean that the Hotwire rooms are typically this type of room vs a standard room? If so, how likely would our chances be of them switching us to a room with queen-sized beds? The difference in Hotwire price vs the hotel website price is $40 including all taxes and fees over a 3 night stay. Even though it's not a lot of money, it would be worth the savings if we were able to get the queen beds. We won't be arriving until around 9pm if that matters. Should I call ahead to request the queen beds?

Can you please comment on your experience with this (the Hotwire rooms being the handicap accessible rooms when those amenities are listed).

Thanks!

The amenities are based upon what the hotel offers... not the specific type of room that the htoel offers. So the listing of the accessible amenities does not imply that you will necessarily receive an accessible room.

With the above noted, all that HOTWIRE guarantees is a room that will accommodate everyone that you include in your search. It's possible that by searching for 2adults/2children you receive a room with only one bed and the additional 'bed' is a rollaway brought into the room OR a pullout sofabed. You can of course request a room with two queens but the hotel may not be able, or willing, to honor your request. My comments my sound 'too negative' and they don't mean to be, but we always try to "prepare for the worst... hope for the best" and make sure that users know the 'worst case scenario' and what could go wrong.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

Thank you for the helpful information. The hotel reviews were up and down, so I am still hunting. I will start a new thread if I have questions on other Hotwire hotels.

What do you think this 3* is in Mission Valley-Hotel Circle for $70/night (same dates as above):

Fitness Center

Pool(s)

Restaurant(s)

Business Center

Golf Nearby

Accessible path of travel

In-room accessibility

Wheelchair accessible

Accessible bathroom

Handicapped parking

Roll-in shower

I would be fine with the Best Western Seven Seas if this is it. I'm not sure though because the shuttle isn't listed in the amenities.

I went ahead and pulled the trigger on this because I have other legs of the trip to still book. This ended up being the Town & Country Resort. I am very pleased. It looks like a very nice place and we saved $49 per night. $70/night for 3 nights for a total of $249.38 with taxes & fees. I used the HOTWIRE link. Tried to avoid a place with parking and internet fees but this hotel has both. Parking is $14 per day and internet is $8 per day/per device.
