jrk Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Tuscaloosa is not on everyone's top list and probably right so, at least from the point of view of available hotels. The Capstone is former Sheraton that was already dingy 5 years ago when I last visited it. It's no better now. Yet it is the only 3.5-star hotel in town, which says a lot about the others. There are no 4-stars or higher in Tuscaloosa. Interestingly, they handed me upon checkout an invoice, although I had prepaid by Hotwire, and didn't expect it. Probably by mistake as they are not exactly very competent. I understand the numbers reflect those the hotel received from Hotwire: Charged by Hotwire (per night): $104.00 + $24.10 taxes and fees; $128.10 total The hotel invoice: $96.75 + $14.51 tax; $111.26 total This represents ca. 15% markup by Hotwire. I'd say, healthy but reasonable, particularly since the hotel web price for the given days was $135; quite appalling given the hotel standard. (jrk) Link to comment
