thereuare Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Are you still seeing the property above when searching HOTWIRE for your dates? I did a HOTWIRE search for your dates and the 4* hotel i'm offered shows quite a few more amenities than what you've posted above. (and i look deeper has different Tripadvisor information than you've posted above)If you're still seeing the property above, are you searching for more than one room or for more than the defaults 2adults/0children?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

AaronJB Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Would appear to be a match for the Intercontinental.HOTWIRE pricing can bounce around a fair amount in an attempt to add a bit of mystery as to which property is showing.Please use the site's HOTWIRE link to start your purchase.
