I was thinking the Omni, but I'm not sure if that is a boutique hotel? Also, I thought they only had free internet when you are a member of their loyalty program?

I clicked through all the links.

 

It's rated a 4 on TripAdvisor. Normally $230/nt.

 

I'm guessing this hotel is for the Hyatt House, which we would want. My only hesitation is that it could be the Homewood Suites (4.5* rating on TA, however) or the La Quinta Suites (4* rating on TA), which we do not want.

I'm posting a few different inquiries, in different threads before I decide which hotel to get, I hope that's okay!

The 4.5* listing has not yet been ID'd/reported to the board, but I'd guess that the Sonesta may have been upgraded to 4.5* and is now showing with a slightly different amenity set than previously.

 

I'd guess the first 3* may be a new amenity set for the Hyatt House.

 

The last 3* has not yet been ID'd/reported to the board. A new amenity set for the La Quinta would be a guess, but I'm not certain.

 

Please keep us updated with what you decide and let us know if you have questions regarding additional listings.

Thanks for the info. The one you think may be the La Quinta says that it's normal price is $239, but I noticed La Quinta is only $119 per night. Do they typically say the price is higher than it actually is?

[AaronJB]

The retail price showing on HOTWIRE isn't the retail price of the underlying hotel, it's an average of comparable hotels in the area for your dates.  For that listing, the LQ would be a guess, but it could certainly be something else.

I went ahead and booked the 4.5* and it was the Royal Sonesta. Thanks for all your help!
