Hotwire Hotel: 4* Seattle (Downtown - Convention Center - Capitol Hill) Renaissance

[spidey373]

Howdy!  Not an experienced Hotwire user, but could use all of your expert advice identifying this "secret hot rate" offer of $281/night for 8/2 - 8/8, 2 adults, 2 children.  Info about the property that might be relevant...

 

- Amenities:  Resort, Fitness Center, Restaurant(s), Internet access, Accessible for the blind, Accessible path of travel, Accessible bathroom, Roll-in shower, Indoor pool(s), Pool(s), Self service laundry, Spa Services, Accessible for the deaf, In-room accessibility, Handicapped parking

- 95% recommend "Amazing!"

- Trip Advisor rating 4.5 of 5.0

- 261 reviews

 

When I search the Standard Rate hotel offers for 4* hotels in this area (Downtown-Conv Center-Capitol Hill) for this date range... what confuses me is that only two 4* hotels seem to be available (Westin and Vintage), but I think those are probably the other two "secret rates" being offered right now ($251/night and free internet should be the Vintage, and $300/night I'm guessing is the Westin because it only has a 4.0 of 5.0 Trip Advisor rating and is pet friendly).

 

Thanks for any help/advice you can offer on which property is being offered for this $281/night rate as a "resort."

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Best guess would be Hyatt at Olive 8.

Also note that the 'retail' and the 'opaque' side of HOTWIRE (and PRICELINE) use a different universe of hotels, so what you see on the retail side is not necessarily what you will receive when making an opaque purchase.

I agree with the guess above of the Hyatt at Olive 8.

Thanks for the assist.  I ran the same search just a few minutes ago except requested 2 rooms instead of just 1, and it looks like prices have dropped dramatically.  There's now a secret hot rate offer for a 4* in the same area for $178/night.  (I did not run the search through the link here because I'm at work and probably won't be booking it immediately... when I book, I'll definitely do it through the link.)

 

Says it is 47% off and shows a price of $335 striked out with the hot rate of $178.

 

Amenities: pet friendly, fitness center, business center, accessible for the blind, accessible path of travel, handicapped parking, smoke free rooms, restaurant(s), internet access, accessible for the deaf, in-room accessibility, accessible bathroom, roll-in shower.

 

Trip Advisor 4 out of 5.0; 80% recommended (1,191 reviews).

 

Any help you can offer on this one?

Sorry... but I just realized that I get a different secret hot rate offers when I select the same area, same dates, same 2 adults/2 kids, but request 2 rooms versus just 1 room (which I guess makes sense if hotels want to offer better deals for folks buying "in bulk!").  As I said above... I'm a newbie and still learning. 

 

Would still appreciate any input from the experts on which $178/night offer I listed just above as that's probably what I'll end up booking tonight as soon as I get home from work.  $178/nt for a 4*, 80% recommended, 4 of 5 trip advisor rating hotel in this area just seems like a too-good-to-be-true deal.  Thanks!

Ugh.  When I called home and told my wife about the deal, she got excited, hung up with me, and booked it on her own (thinking I was going to miss it).  She did not use the link from this site (very sorry).  Reporting the win just in case others can benefit from it.
