yellowdog Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 For the hotwire hotel. I believe there may have been more amenities than you listed in your post. HOTWIRE has a new interface which is not currently showing the complete set of amenities at the usual point of the search process. Please run a new search using our BiddingHelper.com tool at the top of this page. Once the search is completed, use the EASY VIEW TAB and click the GREEN BUTTON next to this listing to view the complete set of amenities. This is what I see when replicating your search,Free InternetPet FriendlyIndoor PoolFitnessPoolRestaurantBusinessHi-Speed InternetRoom Accessible...If this is what you see would my guess be Sandman Hotel Vancouver City Centre. Priceline Express hotelI believe this is the Sandman too. Keep us updated on your progress and let us know what you ultimately decide or if we can be of further help.

NoviceTraveller Posted June 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 One more thing regarding Sandman on Hotwire secret rate hotels, its shows 65% approved with 92 reviews but if I see the hotel on Hotwire (regular/standard) the rating is 87% of guests recommend with 1000+ reviews which is quite good actually. Would they purposely show lower customer ratings on a secret hotel?Also, based on what I see on Hotwire Regular I like all the hotels they have in the downtown area. Based on that I wouldn't be too concerned on which one I get. Is it possible the Hotwire can have a completely different inventory on their secret hotels vs. regular hotels? Thanks! Link to comment
AaronJB Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Looking at the search myself, it would appear that HOTWIRE has gone to using Expedia for the regular rate side of the service, or at least that is what is coming up when looking at the regular rates for these dates. Different services, different rating %'s from customers. The Sandman has been seen with that amenity set previously, so that would also be my guess. There may be hotels for your dates where HOTWIRE has discounted inventory but not regular rate inventory. Please keep us updated with what you decide and let us know if you have additional questions. Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases. Link to comment
