Hotwire Hotel: 4* Detroit (Southfield) Westin Southfield

[dragonman64]

This is the first time that I used Hotwire (and also my first post in this forum), and while I expected to make bids for hotels in the Metro Detroit area for our trip in October, we were immediately offered the rate of US$60/night. We are a family of 3 adults and this is the reason why we used hotwire instead of priceline where our triple room sharing might not be guaranteed.

Should I be happy with this 'best value' rate given us? I'd like to think that - regardless of whatever negative things I have read from (mostly) businessmen who stayed - it is a good deal as compared to what is directly being offered to us by two other hotels (USD88-up) of lower star rating.

We took the offer shortly after our friend in Detroit Highland Park gave her approval.

Is this the usual Hotwire rate for Westin Southfield?

Thanks for sharing your results with the board.

Rates are date specific (based upon occupancy levels at the hotel), so there is not a 'usual hotwire' rate for any property. Just as rates directly from a hotel fluctuate from date to date, so does the HOTWIRE rate.
