Hotwire Hotel: Minneapolis West

[calla]

Need one night in Minneapolis Aug. 21 for 2 adults. I am hoping to win the 3* Sheraton Minneapolis West. Hotwire has a 3* that shows these icons: smoke free, pool, fitness, business center and high speed internet. Rate is $56. This is not a perfect match with your list of 3* hotels. Your best guess please? This hotel also shows up on your Priceline list as the only 3* in that area. The AAA rate for this hotel is $71 which seems very reasonable. I'm thinking I should play it safe and book directly on-line with Sheraton. Is it worth gambling on Priceline or Hotwire?? I've narrowed it down to this hotel because they are pet-friendly and we will be traveling with our dog.

The HOTWIRE hotel above, at $56 will be about $63 (+ taxes) after including HOTWIRE's fee... compare that to the $71 (+ taxes) in booking direct. Since you need (vs. want) a pet friendly hotel i wouldn't take the chance for a net savings of $8 as the risk/reward just isn't worth it, imo.

Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases. (or our Sheraton link if you decide to book direct)

Let us know what you ulitmately decide for this stay or if we can be of further help.

Decided to take your advice and not gamble! Except I chose the 3* La Quinta Suites in Bloomington because it is also pet-friendly with no additional fee, includes breakfast for $55.80 on La Quinta website. HOTWIRE price for this hotel was almost identical. Ratings are good. Used the Travel Link above. Thanks for your help once again.
