Hotwire Hotel: 3* Orange County (Anaheim-Disneyland South) Best Western Raffles

This one showed like this:

Anaheim - Disneyland South Hotel

3 stars- $53/night

Fitness Center

Pool(s)

Business Center

Laundry Facilities

High Speed Internet Access

I have to admit I'm disappointed with this hotel. I thought it would be the Holiday Inn on Manchester, which I've stayed at before and liked. This Best Western doesn't have the best reviews and I hate exterior corridors. If I would have realized this was an option, I probably would have done priceline for a 3.5* and paid for parking. This price is only $10 less per night than you can book on Hotels.com, so not much of a deal. Oh well, we'll make the best of it.

Used the HOTWIRE link from better bidding.

Sorry to hear you're disappointed with the results.

While this is a new amenity combination for the Best Western (thanks for the update to the Hotwire Hotel List), the amenities don't match previous reports for the Holiday Inn either, so that could have been a clue that perhaps it wasn't that property. Feel free to ask the board for help in our opinion and/or confirmation of the hotel you think you may be receiving.

Thank you for sharing your results with the board and using our HOTWIRE link to begin your purchase.

Enjoy your stay.

Actually I looked at previous messages and came across this:

Welcome to BetterBidding!

A property exactly like the above has not yet been reported to the board, but if you change your search to 4adults/0children a 'new' 3* hotel appears in this zone for the same exact price with the following amenities:

Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Tennis, Laundry

This one is a match for the Holiday Inn Anaheim (Manchester Ave) and given the same price point, and the amenities on the 2adult/0chldren search being a sub-set of this 4adult search, this may be the same hotel, with the 2adult search 'hiding' some of the amenities. If you're interested in this property it would be better to purchase as 4adults since that is the stronger match for previos reports, but i'm going to speculate that they're the same hotel.

Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

This is why I thought perhaps it would be Holiday Inn. My main disappointment is due to the fact that I don't believe that Best Western is a 3* hotel. I don't see it as the same caliber as Holiday Inn. Regardless, I appreciate this site and I'll continue to use Hotwire.

Note the subtle difference that the property referenced above has a Restaurant icon... the hotel you purchased did not.

Yes I know. But the reply listed was an answer to someone inquiring about a 3* hotel with amenities identical to the ones I had and which turns out to be the Best Western. What's really ironic is that Hotwire's travel partners, Expedia.com and Hotels.com both list the Best Western Raffles as a 2.5 star. Priceline's retail division has it listed as a 2* hotel.
