luvmaui Posted December 29, 2008 Report Posted December 29, 2008 Looking for one night June 19, 2009. (Two adults and one child)Listed at $166. amenities fitness, restaurant, business, internetI was hoping for the Westin...Thanks
AaronJB Posted December 29, 2008 Report Posted December 29, 2008 Unfortunately, based upon the amenities and with no tripadvisor rating in the listing, this could be possibly either a match for the Westin or Sheraton. If you do decide to book this property, please use the site's HOTWIRE link (click the HOTWIRE) to start your purchase, and let us know how it goes/if you have any questions.
luvmaui Posted December 30, 2008 Author Report Posted December 30, 2008 Since I have six months, I might hang on a little longer and see what pops up. However, a Friday one night stay right at cruise season in Seattle might prove tricky!
Colfax Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 What about trying for a 4* on Priceline? It's possible you could get a 4* for significantly less than $166. Paying extra on Hotwire makes sense when you know what you're getting. But when the Hotwire hotel can't be identified I don't see any advantage to Hotwire over Priceline.
luvmaui Posted December 30, 2008 Author Report Posted December 30, 2008 That's something I had considered. There are three of us and you cannot always get two beds with Priceline. That's the only problem.
Colfax Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 You wrote there were 2 adults/1 child in your first post. Sorry I missed that. Needing two beds is a good reason to choose Hotwire over Priceline.Hotwire has a 3.5* with two beds for $159. The icons are the same as the 4* hotel. No TripAdvisor stats are given. The Crowne Plaza has been reported with those icons in the past and it shows in Vacation Packages with those icons for your weekend. Would the Crowne Plaza work for you?
luvmaui Posted December 31, 2008 Author Report Posted December 31, 2008 It would. In fact, I'm not all that picky about where we stay in that area. Just thought it would be fun to be near the market for that one night. I once stayed in the Westin and that view of the Space Needle with fog rolling in and over it was pretty phenomenal. The rack rates for all of those Pike Place area hotels seem to be about $250. so Hotwire does offer a nice discount.
Colfax Posted December 31, 2008 Report Posted December 31, 2008 We'll be interested to hear what you ultimately decide. Let us know if we can be of further help.You've got plenty of time if you want to wait a month and see if the 4* icons change in a way that makes the hotel easier to ID.
luvmaui Posted January 16, 2009 Author Report Posted January 16, 2009 Just an update:Same amenities now showing for $10. less, plus they've added a rating of 4 out of 5 with 300+ reviews on Tripadvisor. This makes it look like the Sheraton...
luvmaui Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Posted January 20, 2009 For the date of June 19th:Amenities include fitness, pool, restaurant, business, internet$159.3.5 out 5 with 260+ reviews on tripadvisorDoesn't this look like the Westin? Yay!
luvmaui Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Posted January 20, 2009 Yep, that's what it was. Got it!
