sequitur Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 Thanks Better Bidding for taking the guesswork out of this - the WARWICK was a regular guess, and an accurate one in my case. The amenities listed were: Fitness center Restaurant(s) Business center Self-service laundry Internet access I think the rate was even less with "2 adults" but for once I was honest and listed a child also, to make sure there are 2 beds (so the win was "2 adults, 1 child"). I was certain enough that it was the Warwick that I first called them up to get a "pay up front" rate for comparison, and it was $330/night (so not quite the "57% off" mentioned at hotwire, but a very healthy 40% discount nonetheless - I guess it becomes 57% off if you are comparing to cancelable rates, but that's not apples to apples). Location looks very good, and I searched my old notes and found I last stayed at the Kitano for $192, which was 4*, without a child included, and THREE YEARS AGO. So to pay $7 more, get another .5 star, and fess up to the kid being there, is pretty good to me in 2015. Of course I used the board links to get to HOTWIRE, and thanks for the $10 off too! BetterBidding is a great resource, which I support by using the links and by posting my wins without asking too many questions of the tireless moderators - thank you mods!
