Hotwire Hotel: Dublin November 5-8, 2009. Hotwire ID help?

[curiousx]

Hotwire does not give amenities for Dublin hotels (grr). But for the dates above, I have found what seems to be a great rate (US $95 per day) for a 4 star hotel in Dublin South Inner City. The TripAdvisor 'clues' are that the hotel is rated 4 stars out of 5, has over 300 ratings, and the last rating was in July 2009. This seems to correspond to the Brooks Hotel whose regular rate for this period is 175 Euros a night. If so, I am inclined to nab it but would appreciate a bit of positive reinforcement before leaping into the abyss.

And of course I will use this Board's HOTWIRE link.

Many thanks

I just noticed this could also be the Maldron Hotel, Cardiff Lane...a poster on the TA Dublin forum said this is what they have when using Hotwire for a 4 starhotel in Dublin South Inner City. The booking was made in May for September and the rate was US$120 which is not much of a deal compared to the internet rate available on the hotel website (Euro87). So I guess I'll hold off.

With no amenities shown it would be very difficult to take much of an educated guess, but based upon the Tripadvisor info the Maldron Hotel, Cardiff Lane would be a better fit than the Brooks Hotel, as the latter has 'too many' reviews to be considered a realistic possibility, imo.

Thank you for using our PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

apologies for not closing this thread before - we ended up staying at a B&B near St. Stephen's Green and not using HOTWIRE.
