Hotwire Hotel: Hotwire or -Expedia in Hartford

I'm going to a stamp show at the Hartford CT convention center in August. The main show hotel, the Marriott, is much too expensive, when you count parking and Internet. The second show hotel, a Holiday Inn Express, is 2.4 miles away (it says it has a shuttle) but the only rooms available were smoking rooms.

Expedia has the Godwin Hotel 0.6 miles away, and rates it 3.5 stars; $107.10 for my dates. (Plus parking, but a $50 gas card.)

HOTWIRE has a 3.5 star hotel in downtown Hartford at $82, but won't tell me how far away from the convention center it is. If it's the Godwin, it's doable. If it's the Sheraton, across the river and an Interstate highway bridge, it's not. And Hotwire's version of "downtown Hartford" seems to include some of East Hartford on the other side of the river.

The two sites are co-owned. Is there a good chance HOTWIRE is offering the Godwin? Is 3.5 stars on Expedia the same as 3.5 on Hotwire?

can you please post your dates of travel and the amenities?

Sorry: Staying August 12-17. Most important is reasonable proximity to the Convention Center (not Civic Center), either walking or inexpensive cab. (I know about the Star Shuttle, but that runs limited hours on weekends I'd also like free Internet and free parking... but for a good price, I'd skip those.

What are the amenities associated with the 3.5* property you're being offered thru HOTWIRE?
