viault Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 I haven't stayed there yet, but just got this booking yesterday.Location: Atlanta, GACity Area: PerimeterHotel Quality: 4-star UpscaleCrowne Plaza Hotel Atlanta-Ravinia, GA4355 Ashford-Dunwoody Rd. Atlanta, GA 30346(770) 395-7700Check-in Date: Mon, Oct 27, 2003Check-out Date: Thu, Oct 30, 2003Number Of Rooms: 1Number of Nights: 3Price per night: $54.00Subtotal: $162.00Total Taxes and Booking Fees: $26.95Total: $188.95I had a good idea it would be the crowne plaza ravinia because on hotwire it was a favorite and there were positive comments, one of which raved about the extensive gardens. Since Crowne Plaza had extensive gardens I had a feeling this was it. Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 Welcome to BetterBidding!Thanks for posting. Can you confirm that the following amenites were the ones shown before your purchase: Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Business (if you dont' recall, you can still access them thru the MY ACCOUNT link at the top right corner of Hotwire's home page)I looked at the Customer Favorite comments and didn't see a specific mention of a garden, but did see talk about the hotel's dining and lobby area being impressive.Thanks in advance for your follow-up.

viault Posted September 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 Here is the reply that talked about the gardens,Customer: Kimbrelyn M. from Mobile, Alabama Length of stay: 1 day Would you stay again? Yes Overall value: 5 Room Comfort: 5 Service: 5 Scale: 1-lowest 5-highest The lobby was beautiful and spacious and the room and pleasant and clean. The service was excellent. Also, the hotel's gardens were wonderfully relaxing and we went on a "nature walk" of our own. It felt like a private getaway! Amenities are:Restaurant, pool, fitness center, business center Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 Thanks for the follow-up.This is very interesting (at least to me :) ) as i believe i was looking at the same property but definately didn't see those comments... which would imply that they may rotate the customer comments for the same property.If you're also intrigued (it's ok if you're not), are there any comments from Jimmy D who had a short stay, Neal K who had a great amenities and a Super Value, or Laiticia M. wnjoyed all the amenities and the staff was helpful.Of course, i could be looking at a different property than you, but it just seems too similar to be a coincidence.

Welldone Rumproast Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 One fact that may explain the high ratings: Crowne Plaza (Intercontinental) corporate HQ is located in the adjacent Ravinia office complex. I'm sure that the CP management are always "on their toes" :) Link to comment
viault Posted September 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 Interesting they must rotate the satisfied customers, because when I just went back I could not find the earlier one I posted above, but only saw comments from: Karen H, Neal K, and Chastity B. Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 Just to satisfy my curiousity... are you viewing the Customer Comments by doing a Hotwire search again or viewing them from the MY ACCOUNT link at Hotwire's homepage. If thru the MY ACCOUNT link then they definately rotate comments, if doing a new search, i guess we have no way of knowing for certain if this indeed the same property (although i suspect it is) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
viault Posted September 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 I was doing a new search,I don't know how to check reviews on the my account part.Can you tell me how?I'm pretty sure it's the same hotel.especially since one of the reviewers was the same. Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 26, 2003 Report Share Posted September 26, 2003 At Hotwire's homepage you can click MY ACCOUNT (on the top right of the page) where you can see your prior purchases. I know there you can see the star rating and amenities of your purchase, and i think the fact that it's a Customer Favorte... i'm assuming then that you can also read the customer's comments (but i could be wrong... i'm sure you'll let me know after trying :) )Thanks!

viault Posted August 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 O.k, this is many many months after I initially stayed there, but the hotel was awful.The first room they gave me, smelled, had water damage, and black mold.They gave me a new room which was a huge suite, but it still smelled.I will never stay there again.
