Hotwire Hotel: 3.5* Atlanta (Perimeter) Westin North Perimeter

[Haute Mama]

i am looking to make a trip 5/5-5/8 and am coming up with the following:

i am just making an educated guess here: 4* perimeter with fitness, pool, restaurant, internet and spa--i assume this is the W perimeter for $76 night before fees.

as for the 3.5* in perimeter fitness, pool, restaurant, business center for $83 night--again another assumption that this is the Westin Perimeter, or the Crowne Plaza?

based upon what i have read the two hotels above have gotten very mixed reviews, in particular the W. i am a bit leary and don't want to end up in a horrible place, esp. since it is supposed to be a romantic trip.

any thoughts and/or experiences would be great! thanks in advance.

Please follow-up your previous Hotwire Orlando thread with whatever you ended up doing for that stay... then bump this thread and we'll have a look at the above.

followed up--didnt end up booking a room so i didnt realize i needed to follow up......now i know and have done so.

i wonder if i would have more luck trying to win the Hyatt Place in Perimeter which it seems people have been getting around here alot lately. I was trying to get a nice room for a romantic few days but not break the bank in the process.

Oddly, it seems like a lot of hotels in the Atlanta area get mixed reviews. Not sure why this is.

If you want a specific hotel, then PRICELINE isn't a good choice, as given the way the service works, there's a strong chance you'll be disappointed.

You can guess which hotels are showing on HOTWIRE, but that isn't 100% guaranteed.

The Wyndham Garden Hotel Downtown gets some mixed reviews, as well, but it's $87 per night with the third night free on Expedia - $58 bucks average per night for 3 nights - can't beat that.

Please use the site's Expedia.com, HOTWIRE. or PRICELINE links.

I'm very familiar with this area and the hotels on Hotwire. If you are looking for a romantic location, I'd recommend the Westin first (3.5*) and the W second (4*). The Westin is located next to a very large man made pond with a fountain which makes for a nice view. Ask for that side of the building as the other side faces the highway. The W is located next to a mall. Both are nice hotels with good room service. I haven't had problems with either. You have to pay to park at the W, not at the Westin. Hope that helps.
