points Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Hotwire often does a bait & switch - after you click on the listing, and it comes back with the full page booking - and says "the last person got____" don't believe them. Just as often as not, you don't get that hotel. in this case it said last person got Kimpton Monaco, but the bed choice didn't match - which should have been a clue. Also - the Tripadvisor rating doesn't match as they must be referring to the previous Westin - which has been refurbished and is now the Dossier. Probably as good of a deal as the Kimpton, but not what I expected despite a lot of research. Terrible to see "resort fees" - in this case $20/night - come to even places like Portland. Just ridiculous! You have to watch how much the total is with all the fees to compare booking direct. In this case, still a better rate via Hotwire, but enough to make it a great deal. 90% recommended Favorite!
