Hotwire Hotel: Clarion Emerald Springs

[travelAlot]

I'm 99% sure on this one. Hotwire has rarely been showing non-casino, under-4-star hotels via Vacation Packages. But the opaque search's amenities -- Airport Shuttle, Pool, Restaurant -- and TripAdvisor clues (2.0 rating, 40+ reviews, last review April '08) match exactly to this property. Somehow the Expedia/Hotwire folks deem this a 3-star but fortunately Priceline has it as 2-stars. The only other potentially matching hotel in that zone (the shuttle being key amenity) was the Atrium Suites, which came up alot a few months ago on Hotwire but is now not accepting standard reservations because of renovations (hotel is closed for that). So it may be a great idea to add this to the list so that folks know this could be the sheep-in-wolves-clothing, not-so-good surprise if they book it.

Wasnt able to edit my original post so adding this: Hotwire I believe messed up as its non-opaque sister sites Expedia and Hotels.com show the Clarion as a 2.5-star...

We only add confirmed hotels to this list... this keeps it "clean" and this way users don't need to worry about whether the hotel they're considering is from an actual purchase or in the list due to speculation.
