loveisacupcake Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Would appreciate some help IDing this hotel:2 Adults, 1 Room4* Midtown AtlantaFitness, Restaurant12/27/09 - 12/30/09I think it is the Hotel Palomar, but I'm not sure. Thanks in advance! Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Welcome to BetterBidding!This property has not yet been reported to the board. While it could be the Palomar, with just these two amenities, which are common at almost all 4* properties, it could easily be something else as well.Unforutnately there are no additional clues provided to make this any more/less likely than any other 4* property in the zone.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Let us know whatever you decide to do for this stay or if we can be of further help.

audiTT Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 As far as unreported 4* in Midtown, the Palomar would be my guess as well, especially given the price. If it were a more likely ID for the Palomar, I'd say it was a great deal for a REALLY nice property... but there's a lot of uncertainty. There are several other 3.5* and 4* properties available around the city for your dates that are safer IDs and likely better values. Depending on the purpose of the trip and where you need to be, you may want to consider the other identifiable properties that show for your dates (and use the forum link to HOTWIRE to book). The 4* Downtown is a match for the Hyatt Regency (great property, expensive parking with cheaper parking within a block) and a good deal at $69. The 4* Buckhead for $99 could be the Westin, W, or Inter-Continental, all of which are great properties in a more consumer-driven part of town (near Lennox/Phipps and a lot of nicer restaurants). Pricier, but probably the nicest identifiable properties for your dates. $99/night for the Westin would be a good deal, for the Inter-Continental or the W would be a very good deal.The 4* in Perimeter for $49 is a match for the Westin, also a great property nearby a lot of upper-scale shopping and dining (but a step down from Buckhead) and is probably the best value of the 4* properties listed. The 3.5* downtown is either the Sheraton or Westin Peachtree Plaza. I'd lean towards the Westin due to the number of recent reports (myself being one of them). It's a very unique and under-rated property. The rooms can be smallish but are well appointed. Service is top notch. Parking is expensive ($28/night) but there's a $16/night option across the street. There's great on-site dining at the Sun Dial and Pitty Pat's Porch across the street. Link to comment
loveisacupcake Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Thank you for the replies. I definitely need to look into this further. I know that we really enjoy the Kimpton Hotel chain and we have a credit on HOTWIRE we need to use. Let you know what we decide and will definitely use the HOTWIRE link! Link to comment
audiTT Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Kimpton properties are indeed great. I'm not sure if the fact that a newer one shows up on HOTWIRE and PRICELINE speaks to the market/economy, is being used for marketing, or is standard practice. Either way, if it were a more sure thing I'd go for it, but unfortunately it isn't. If you're looking for the most luxurious that is identifiable, it's probably the $99 4* Buckhead. If you're looking for the absolute best deal, it's probably the $49 4* Perimeter. Link to comment
loveisacupcake Posted October 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 FINALLY booked this trip.My dates ended up changing to Dec 29 to Jan 1. I noticed the price for the 4* kept changing from $119 (highest) to $102 (lowest). Ended up getting it at $105. And it did turn out to be the Hotel Palomar as I had hoped it would be. Best I could do with AAA was $167 and the regular rate was $209. I am very pleased!Thank you so much for all your help! Link to comment
