jackywidjaya Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 I won similar deal for the same hotel Le Lavoisier for $33 9/30/13-10/03/13. I contacted the hotel to confirm my reservation (without mentioning price won or hotwire booking; hotel's initial reply was Yes my name is in their database, but informed me the next day that my name is not longer in their reservation. I am smelling a pricing glitch and Hotwire cancelled the deal. Still investigating. i recommend you to follow up with Le Lavoisier. Their contact and email address is available on their Home PageGood luck with us =) Link to comment

mark123 Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Call them and push (while remaining friendly, don't get aggressive or the agent will not help you) for a rebooking to a different 4* Hotel in the same area.They will try to give you the cheapest *4 Hotel in that area they're offering for your booked dates, so you can check on the website beforehand.Even if you get a more or less random *4 Hotel in Champs Elysees Areas, it's still a great deal at 32$, right?
