dukepdx Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 I tried PRICELINE, hoping to get a good deal for the day my friend and I arrive in Zurich, but bids of $105 for a four-star hotel in Central Zurich (or $57 for one in both Central Zurich and Glattbrugg) didn't turn anything up, so I couldn't pass on the $59 Hotwire option. Although the price is unbeatable and roughly a third of the rack rate, I'm still a bit disappointed that it's a Holiday Inn and not the Renaissance Glattbrugg--I think it takes real creativity to label a Holiday Inn a four-star hotel. Oh well, it has good ratings on Tripadvisor, so maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised. Link to comment

dukepdx Posted July 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Hey, sorry I forgot to post the amenities. Apparently the only listed amenities were --Fitness Center--Business Center--High-speed internet accessAgain not sure how these amenities = four-star hotel, but guess I can't complain for $59/night in Zurich.

AaronJB Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Thanks for the follow-up. Link to comment
MadFlyer Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Thank you for your post as Switzerland is just newly added as a HOTWIRE country. I am just sorry that they added both Zurich and Geneva as one zone cities. I tried to use Howire just last week and still got the message that the country would soon be added and am glad to see that it has been. Link to comment
