SonofaBish Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 Taking a business trip to Austin, and am going to drive down to San Antonio for a copule days afterward.... Dates are 10/14 - 10/16 2 hotels i'm interested in....1.) 4* San Antonio Riverwalk ... $98/nt... I would have assumed this was the hotel Contessa - but the 75% recommended rating is throwing me off Amenities: Amenities Boutique hotel Business center Fitness center Internet access Pet friendly Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Smoke-free rooms 2.) 4.5* San Antonio East Riverwalk Alamo - $118/nt - Looking at prior posts, i'm pretty sure this is the Grand Hyatt Amenities Business center Fitness center Free Internet Pet friendly Pool(s) Restaurant(s)Accessibility Accessible for visually impaired Accessible for hearing impaired Any thoughts? I'm really interested in hotel #1 as it fits into my budget a little better....I'm sure I've done something wrong for the comparison, so let me know how to fix the above and i'll be happy to!
SonofaBish Posted August 26, 2015 Author Report Posted August 26, 2015 Looking some more, it looks like the COntessa is 4.5*... and i'm guessing this is the Sheraton Gunter or Omni... but the 75% points towards the Sheraton... agree? I may prefer #2 - not sure
AaronJB Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 Welcome to Betterbidding. :) The 4* Riverwalk would likely be the Sheraton or Omni. 4.5* Riverwalk East - if you click on the listing, then click "book now", then "see all amenities", do you see: Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Free Internet, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Blind Accessible, Deaf Accessible, Travel Accessible, Room Accessible, Bathroom Accessible, Handicapped Parking, Roll-in Shower, Pet Friendly If so, I'd guess this may be the Grand Hyatt with a slightly different amenity set.

SonofaBish Posted August 26, 2015 Author Report Posted August 26, 2015 Any thoughts on this one? Alamo - Riverwalk East - Convention Center - $86 - 3.5* FULL AMENITIES: Free Internet, Pet friendly, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Spa services, Accessible for hearing impaired, Accessible path of travel, Accessible parking It says that the last person who booked this got the Menger Hotel, but looking at the amenities, and the Hotwire Hotel Lists that are linked on the Texas main page, I would guess its the Indigo .... Agree?
AaronJB Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 This listing has not yet been ID'd/reported to the board. A guess would be a new amenity set for the Menger or Indigo. The "Last person got..." is not necessarily the underlying hotel, it's the last hotel that was won at that star rating in that zone in general. Please keep us updated on what you decide.

SonofaBish Posted August 27, 2015 Author Report Posted August 27, 2015 I'm hesitatnt on the riverwalk hotels now, mainly b/c of the excessive cost of parking.... i MAY be willing to pay it, but if i can get something very nice, wiht free parking, i may prefer.... what can i say, i'm cheap What about your thoughts on this one..... I don't think any of the hotels in the list match very well.... the boutique part will hopefully narrow it down La Cantera - Fiesta Texas - The Rim - $82 - 3* FULL AMENITIES: Free parking, Free Internet, Boutique hotel, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Self-service laundry, Internet access, Golf nearby, Accessible for visually impaired, Accessible for hearing impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Wheelchair accessible, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking, Roll-in shower
AaronJB Posted August 27, 2015 Report Posted August 27, 2015 This listing has not yet been ID'd/reported. I'd guess this may be the Wyndham Garden with a slightly different amenity set than previously reported, but it may be something else not yet reported to the board.

SonofaBish Posted September 1, 2015 Author Report Posted September 1, 2015 After researching both Priceline and Hotwire, i felt certain that I found a good deal that i was willing to take a stab at.... Luckily i was right... $102 for the Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort and Spa.....
AaronJB Posted September 1, 2015 Report Posted September 1, 2015 Congrats on your success. :)Did you book via Hot.wire? If so, can you confirm the amenities that were showing with this listing?
