debkw Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Having looked through past successes, Hyatt Gainey Ranch was "won" as a 4.5 star. Hotwire now has TWO properties listed with the same iconsResortFitnessPoolRestaurantBusinessInternetTennis Golf(Spa)(Childrens Activities)One is a 4.5* and the other is a 5*. I want desperately to get the Hyatt Gainey property...which...without a doubt...is the nicest "resort" in Scottsdale (maybe in the Galaxy). We've stayed there many times and it really is beyond fantastic So does anyone have a clue if it's been "upgraded" to a 5*? And if not, what the 5* property is??? Thanks a million! Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 The Hyatt is a still a 4.5* rated property, but you've only included the partial amenities of the property above... if you go back to HOTWIRE and click the CONTINUE button (with the price in it) do you see more amenities than what you've listed above?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

debkw Posted May 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 How funny that I never realized there were MORE icons on the next page! You're right. There were two more. Spa and Child Activities. Does that narrow it down? Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 The 4.5* is a match for the Hyatt Gainey Ranch so that would be our best guess.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

debkw Posted May 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Thank you so much for your help!!! I'll post my results soon. Meanwhile, I see others have bid and won this property (Hyatt Gainey Ranch) on PRICELINE. Priceline doesn't show any 4.5* and it's been won as a 4* there. Are there any other Priceline 4*'s in Scottsdale? Thanks again!!! Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 You can see all the hotels reported to the board in this area in the Priceline Hotel List (be sure to read the comments at the top of the hotel list too!), and yes, there are other 4* hotels reported in this zone... so there is no way to target a specific property (HOTWIRE is a better option if you're trying to target/avoid a specific property... but never any guarantees)Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Let us know what you decide to do and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

debkw Posted May 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Thanks for all of your help! I used your link, and just won Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort and Spa at Gainey Ranch (listed simply as "Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort" on Hotwire's confirmation page)! Yeah!!! It was listed as a 4.5* and I paid $99 for 2 adults/2 children for June 22. We're locals, and the kids LOVE to go there. Not only is the resort absolutely gorgeous, but the pools are incredible...including a sandy beach and slide where the kids play happily for hours. Then the acres (literally acres) of pools are lit up for night play. A truly "Wow!" experience. (For past birthday celebrations, I've let my girls bring friends and have a sleepover party there. Throw in a couple of pizzas and you have an extraordinary experience for relatively little expense.) What I DIDN'T know (before betterbidding) was that I could get that incredible hotel on Hotwire.Thanks again! You guys are amazing!!! Link to comment
