nesklau Posted September 16, 2014 Author Report Posted September 16, 2014 Attention: Hotwire is selling this property as been in the Daytona (Speedway - Airport DAB) area. It is really in Ormond Beach, another city and more than ten miles of the International Speedway. Customers should be careful and do not trust hotwire area indications.
thereuare Posted September 16, 2014 Report Posted September 16, 2014 What is the address of this property, is it the Baymont at: 175 Interchange Blvd Ormond Beach, FL 32174 If so, the map i'm looking at (as well as the map at the hotel's own website) puts this in HOTWIRE's 'Daytona Speedway - Daytona Beach Intl Airport DAB' zone... does the hotel you won have a different address? (if so, what is the address of the hotel you received??) If you believe this hotel is in a different zone have you contacted HOTWIRE about it, as they do guarantee that the hotel you receive will be within the boundaries of the zone you selected.

nesklau Posted September 16, 2014 Author Report Posted September 16, 2014 As you can see the hotel is in another city and more than ten miles from the speedway. I will travel with a motorcycle and stay very far from Daytona Biketoberfest events. Hotwire concept of area is quite elastic, I would say they were unethical and misleading on the location of the hotel. I tried to contact the customer service and answer was: "I have looked up your hotel and it does fall within the hotel neighborhood provided to you at the time of booking"
thereuare Posted September 16, 2014 Report Posted September 16, 2014 Sorry to hear that this property won't work as well as you had hoped for your plans, but you do need to take a close look at the zone boundaries before bidding on PRICELINE OR taking one of the offers on HOTWIRE... as the 'rules' of both services are pretty similar and the hotel you receive can be anywhere within the boundaries of the zone. Sometimes one service will have a smaller geographical zone than the other, so it pays to check both to see if one will work better for your needs when you're hoping to be in a specific location. Also, when location is important, i'd suggest our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com which makes it easy to see how much more/less it would cost to go up/down in star rating OR to stay closer/further from your ideal location. Feel free to ask the board for help before your future opaque purchases and we'll try to help you obtain a more favorable outcome. Enjoy your upcoming trip and hopefully you can make this location work for your needs.

nesklau Posted September 16, 2014 Author Report Posted September 16, 2014 Thank you, next time I will not trust HOTWIRE and try to double check to avoid another bad experience
