HarryK Posted August 8, 2004 Report Posted August 8, 2004 I'm looking at Aug the 11th. 1 nightIt's 2.5* and offers shuttle, pool and complementary breakfast for $44/night Westshore - Tampa Intl Airport TPA Any ideas?
thereuare Posted August 8, 2004 Report Posted August 8, 2004 This hotel has not yet bee identified, but if i had to take a guess i would suggest the Days Inn as it seems to fit the amenity descriptions quite well. There is a Wellesly Inn and an Amerisuites in the area which are also possibilities, but i think the Days Inn is a better fit and therefore a better guess.Don't know how heavily you've searched this area but rates at this star level hotel aren't too expensive. I took a very quick look at Expedia for example and the Days Inn mentioned above can be had for $54/nite, there's a La Quinta for $60, and a few others in the $60-$65 range.I did a search for your dates and personally i'd sooner go with the 3.5* hotel for $47. The 2.5* level on Hotwire can be hit or miss and i'd feel more comfortable buying a truly opaque hotel at the 3.5* level than the 2.5* level.

HarryK Posted August 8, 2004 Author Report Posted August 8, 2004 Thanks. One reason I was choosing the $44 over the $47 is because of the airport shuttle. The $47 one was up in the Busch Gardens area, although I could take a cab. Thanks again for the info. I'm not overly psyched about a Days Inn
HarryK Posted August 8, 2004 Author Report Posted August 8, 2004 WHOA! Hey, I'm sure glad I didn't get the $44 deal last night. The $47 one in the Airport area with shuttle that you mentioned wasn't even listed there last night, but it is now and I'm jumping on it.Thanks!
thereuare Posted August 8, 2004 Report Posted August 8, 2004 Good Luck and please update us with the results.Yet another example of how inventory can, and does, change at any time. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases

Accdng to Hotwire, they've now got it as a 3.5* I guess YMMV :)
thereuare Posted August 8, 2004 Report Posted August 8, 2004 Glad it worked out well for you (i'm guessing :) ).The hotel has been upgraded since last reported and this happens somewhat often.
