Hotwire Hotel: 4* Hotel - downtown Milwaukee

[shh071]

Hi:

I had great success using your site for a recent trip to MN so I am trying again!

This time I will be staying in WI (Milwaukee downtown) from Feb 16 -19 and hotwire has suggested a price of $104 per night for a 4* hotel.

The ammenities are: Non-smoking rooms, fitness center, business center, restaurants, high speed internet, nearby golf

Which hotel could this be?

I'm also interested in the following 3.5* star hotels for teh same dates:

$59 per night: fitness center, buisness center, high speed internet and restaurants (I'm thinking the Hilton)

$63 per night: fitness center, business center, high speed internet, restaurants and nearby tennis (I'm thinking the Hyatt Regency)

Thanks in advance for any help!!!

EDITED TO ADD: I believe the 4* is the Ambassador as that shows golfing nearby. No discount showing though really as the price is also $104 on Expedia and its typically higher on there.

The 4* hotel has not yet been reported to the board, but the Tripadvisor rating (5.0/5.0 ... WOW!! i don't think i've ever seen a hotel rated 5/5 on Tripadvisor) is shown and matches the Iron Horse Hotel so that would be our best guess.

For the 3.5* properties, are they both in the Downtown zone? HOTWIRE will only show one hotel at each star rating in each zone, so are you using different search criteria to get each of the to appear on a given HOTWIRE search? (or is the zone incorrect, one not 3.5* rated, etc) Let us know so we can view these hotels on our own search in order to have a closer look.

I would agree that the 3.5* hotel downtown is EITHER the Hyatt or Hilton. I have stayed in both and are both adequate and a good value for the price on Hotwire.

The 4* for the Ambassador may be a good guess.

I just booked that same 4-star hotel (amenities listing, etc) for one night on Feb 13th and it was in fact the Iron Horse. We had drinks there recently and staying there for anything less than their published rates is a no-brainer. I ended up getting the IH for $96 on 2/13. I would highly recommend the Iron Horse unless you need to stay right downtown. The Hilton and Hyatt though are not bad options for the price.

Can you please add your win to the board as a NEW TOPIC and include in your post the amenities shown before your purchase (you can still view these by going to HOTWIRE and clicking the MY ACCOUNT link near the top right of their home page)

As you can see, the information from your purchase can, and does, help other users.

This trip was cancelled so I didn't book anything.

Thanks for the help though.
