DougWI Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 After seeing Alexis Inn and Suites listed here at Better bidding at 2 1/2 star, we thought we were bidding on a different hotel because Hotwire had this blind buy listed as 3 starts. I never considered checking out this hotel when doing my pre-buy research due to to it being listed as 2 1/2 stars here. Reading TripAdvisor reviews, there are many glowing reviews from very new reviewers and a few bad reviews from experienced reviewers. I fear this hotel got its rating bumped from 2 1/2 stars to 3 stars at Hotwire by posting fake reviews, but I can not prove it. Just read the glowing reviews and see if they seem real to you. Hotwire listed pricing for this hotel room as regularly $161, and this blind buy was 46% off. After going directly to the hotel website, for the full 4 nights, after all taxes and fees, we saved $1 total. So lets review, we are staying in a hotel that we feel is not really a 3 star, at a $1 total savings. I am disappointed in Hotwire.

thereuare Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Sorry to see you're disappointed with the results, hopefully the stay will go better than expected. I believe there were likely more amenities then what you have posted above as HOTWIRE has a new interface that does not show the complete set of amenities unless you click thru a few extra links. For future searches/bookings you can do the following to ensure you're seeing the complete list: 1) use the EASY VIEW tab of our BiddingHelper.com and click the green 'See All Amenities' button OR 2) search HOTWIRE (or use the HOTWIRE tab at BiddingHelper.com) and...click the offeron the next page click the BOOK NOW linkin the TRIP SUMMARY box click the 'See more' link at the end of the amenitiesThank you for sharing your win with the board and helping us update the Hotwire Hotel List with the new star rating for this property. It would be appreciated if you used the requested PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your future bidding, searches, and travel purchases. Enjoy your stay. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
