Hotwire Hotel: Speculation---Is it the Holiday Inn Express Downtown Houston

[dirtboy]

Hotwire is offering a 2.5* hotel in downtown Houston for $69/night for 3/29-4/2, 2006. Amenities include: Complimentary Breakfast, Fitness Center, Laundry Facilities, Pool(s), Business Center.

This would be perfect match for the Holiday Inn Express Downtown, except that the HI Express also has complimentary high speed internet, which Hotwire does not list for this hotel (granted, Hotwire has a pattern of sometimes omitting amenities). The lowest advertised rate for the Holiday Inn is $85/night + tax (prepaid) on the hotel company's website.

I can't find any other ~2.5 star hotels with this amenities in the downtown Houston zone. The HI express does not come up as a vacation package hotel. Does anybody have any further speculation as to other possible hotels this could be, or does it seem pretty certain to be the HI Express?

Thanks!

This hotel has not yet been identified (nor has the HI Express ever been reported here so there is no way to know if they do/don't associate Hi-Speed Internet access with this property).

Thru a websearch i couldn't find anything else at this star rating that it could be so the Holiday Inn Express seems like a reasonable guess... but no evidence of such.

Let us know what you decide to do for this stay.

I was about to book, when I realized the Best Western Downtown Inn & Suites could also be the hotel. BW has a higher advertised rate of $119+tax per night, but now I'm a little worried I could wind-up with the BW instead of the HI.
