DO NOT BOOK THIS WITHOUT CHECKING THE HOTEL'S OWN SITE/Expedia/Hotels.com!

$69 per night on hotwire. listed as 3.5-star hotel in Milan, amenities were fitness center, restaurant, business center, and high speed internet access

Hotel is slightly cheaper on the hotel's own website, as well as Expedia and Hotels.com. Plus you can request a double bed which you can't do with Hotwire stays, so basically, this is NOT A GOOD DEAL.

I feel taken advantage of by Hotwire, this definitely isn't consistent with my previous experiences using the site (admittedly, all for stays in the US & Canada where I had a good idea of which hotel I was going to get), and seems dishonest vs what they promise on their homepage of getting a good deal.

I asked them if I could cancel (no point in using their double the difference offer as it's only a few dollars cheaper overall booking direct), and they sent me a generic response inviting me to pursue the 'double the difference' offer. Poor customer service. Will be very cautious before using Hotwire again or recommending it to others.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Sorry to hear you're not happy with the outcome of this purchase. Regardless of how you book, it's always advantageous to research first to get a feel for prices in the area, but this is even more important when making an opaque purchase or bid, in order to make sure that you're not paying too much. Personally i would pursue the Double the Difference Guarantee with HOTWIRE, not so much for the few dollars it may give you, but so that HOTWIRE knows that this porperty is not necessarily loading rates that are discounted sufficiently.

Thank you for sharing your results with teh board and helping us add this property to the Hotwire Hotel List.

it happens quite often in europe that priceline or hotwire offers are nothing special compared to the "official" last minute rates or current promotions!!

I paid even more once for the Renaissance Z
