bariww Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Just saw a 4.5* hotel listing for $129/night October 12th-14th. Anyone know what this is? Amenities are: Resort, restaurant(s), fitness center, high speed internet, tennis nearby, airport shuttle, pool(s), business center, and golf nearby. Also says that I save $134 which puts their retail cost at $263...Expedia lists the Hotel Jerome as 4.5*'s at a retail of the same.Also listing a 4* condo for $166/night. Amenities are: 1 bedroom suite, airport shuttle, fitness center, laundry facilities, tennis nearby, fully equipped kitchen, free parking, pool(s), and high speed internet access. I've looked at The Gants website since I've heard that others have gotten that property with a similar listing and for their standard condo they are quoting $145/night and $170 for their mid level condo. The folks at Hotwire said they would never be higher than the properties own rate and that they only quote the standard accomodations, not anything upgraded... not really sure about that though. Any help on trying to pinpoint these listings would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to plan a weekend away for my boyfriend and I. Thanks in advance!Bari Link to comment
bariww Posted September 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 I just saw a Boutique rating for an Aspen hotel October 12th-14th with the next highest being a 3.5*. Is Boutique equivalent to a 5*? Is it higher? There's not a hotel list for Aspen anywhere I've been able to find, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!Bari Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Welcome to BetterBidding!I just saw a Boutique rating for an Aspen hotel October 12th-14th with the next highest being a 3.5*. Is Boutique equivalent to a 5*?On priceline, there is no 3.5* rating (they don't use this level). However, looking at this zone on priceline i see that they go from 3* to Boutique (and nothing higher)... Boutique should be considered as a 3.5* property, but there is a LOT of variation within the category so select at your own risk.The folks at Hotwire said they would never be higher than the properties own rate...If this was true, there would never be any claims against their "Double the Difference Guarantee". The concept is that the opaque providers would be less than anywhere else, and it is true better than 95% of the time, but sometimes it just doesn't work out that way.The 4.5* above is a match for the Hotel Jerome while the 4* is a match for the Gant, so these would be our best guess for each.Please use this HOTWIRE link to begin any purchases you make.Let us know what you decide to do and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

bariww Posted September 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 I decided not to go with Hotwire on this one (although the Jerome is a nice hotel, the anique style isn't really what I wanted for this trip and it's far from the mountain). I'll post my win in the priceline forum. Thanks! Link to comment
