Hotwire Hotel: 3* Albuquerque (Airport ABQ) Country Inns and Suites

[grram1]

Mixed feelings on this one. The $59 price is a decent $15 savings over the best net-direct (also non-refundable rate) of $74 offered directly from the hotel chain. The best refundable rate I could find was a AAA rate of $84.60/night. It gets mixed Tripadvisor reviews (only ranks 82 out of 131 hotels in the area :) ). This is a new hotel to the list (best I can tell) and it carries IDENTICAL amenities with the Hilton Garden Inn in the Albuquerque airport area (which, to be honest, I was somewhat hopefull of winning... oh well, it's all a part of the game :) ). Overall a decent deal.

***Hotwire has lowered their rating on this hotel from 3* down to 2.5*. They gave me the option to either keep the reservation and get $25 in "Hotbucks" credited to my account, or to cancel the reservation for a full refund. I took this rare opportunity to go ahead and cancel (since it didn't get good reviews on Tripdavisor, and since I only saved $16 off of the hotel's web site rate anyhow). Ended up winning the Albuquerque Grand Airport Hotel through PRICELINE (former Wyndham)... will post that win on the Priceline forum.
