mjonz20 Posted August 28, 2008 Author Report Posted August 28, 2008 Any idea which hotel the 4* that is listed without a pool. I think it may be the Hilton, but every Hilton I've been to has a pool.
thereuare Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 There are two Hilton properties in this zone... the Hilton Downtown and the Hilton at the Ballpark, the Ballpark property does have a pool, the Downtown property does not. Both of these properties have been seen with the amenity combination above so since a pool is a must have it would be risky to purchase the above on HOTWIRE unless you were willing to forgo the pool (as well, these amenities are common for a 4* Downtown hotel, so it could be a different property as well)Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

mjonz20 Posted August 30, 2008 Author Report Posted August 30, 2008 Ok, so I just booked my hotel. The two that I inquired about above for Aug 31-Sept 1 were not listed anymore. What was listed was the Omni for $79, but there was a 3.5* for $55 with the following amenities....fitness center, pool, restaurant, laundry.....so that's what I booked and it's the Crowne Plaza which is a great deal of course. The only thing I'm worried about is whether or not the pool will be open since most places close it Labor Day weekend and we're going to be there the day before and on Labor Day. Parking is $10 to self park for the day and $15 to valet for the day by the way.Thank you for all of your help and I'll definately be back. I'm already looking at booking a hotel this December.
thereuare Posted August 30, 2008 Report Posted August 30, 2008 Congratulations on your success!Glad to hear you found something which should work well for your needs and you're happy with the results.

mjonz20 Posted September 5, 2008 Author Report Posted September 5, 2008 It was not listed, however, they had free high speed in the rooms thru ethernet cables ONLY. The lobby had wifi, but it was not free.....I think it was something like 25c per minute. The pool was open for our entire stay, BUT, it was freezing since it's not heated and was located on the roof lol. This hotel is great if you want to see the arch since it is right across the street and our room actually faced right at the arch so I got some fantastic pictures from our room.
