Welcome to BetterBidding!

The 4* matches all the hotels you have listed, as well as the Inter-Continental, my best guess is the InterContinental..

The 3.5* is a match for the Radisson so that would be my best guess for that one.

Aree that the 3* best buess is the Holiday Inn.

Wait on second thought the 3.5* I think is the Hilton Garden Inn because the Radisson does not have a fitness center.

Last report of the Radisson was with the amenities above (including a Fitness center) and last report of the Hilton Garden Inn was at the 3* level.

Just scored this and very happy :) !! I love you betterbidding! Got the hotel I wanted! I had originally kept going on priceline to get a 4 star hotel, but gave up. I like how Hotwire lists the amenities and gives you more of an idea of what the hotel will probably be. Anyway the details:

I just hope we are able to get 2 beds (I am going with a friend of mine) and a lake view. I was curious and went to sidestep to see how much this would have cost had I known the hotel ahead of time and the cheapest I could find was 176 a night through easyclicktravel.
