ddddmike Posted February 1, 2009 Report Posted February 1, 2009 Got hosed. $62/nt+ fees, La Quinta Inn Santa Ana. Says 3 stars, Expedia and Hotels.com have it as 2.5*. Called HOTWIRE Cust Svc to complain, got the usual run-around. Gave up. 'Amenities' wereAirport ShuttleComplimentary Breakfast (continental)Pool(s) Laundry Facilities High-speed Internet Access FYI, I've been staying out there the past few weeks. The 2.5* in the same zone was (for me) the La Quinta Inn John Wayne/Orange County Airport, with bad freeway traffic on top of you and a Hooter's next door.The 3.5* currently listed for $64 is almost certainly the Hilton Irvine Airport on Mac Arthur. Good place; parking is $16/night.They sometimes list a 4* in the same zone. That one is almost certainly the Hilton Orange County / Costa Mesa on Bristol and Paulerino. That one is $20/night for parking. It is very close to South Coast Plaza. I've had better luck with PRICELINE than HOTWIRE in this area.
keirijapan Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 I have just stayed at this hotel (motel?) thru hotwire 1/21 ~ 1/24 @ $55. I also called the customer care and complained that this place should not be a 3 star hotel. Hope they will downgrade it to the proper star rating soon. :)
