tjw Posted November 4, 2009 Report Posted November 4, 2009 On Monday 11/02/09 I booked a 4* hotel through Hotwire. Amenities included pool, fitness center, business center and restaurant. From this site I had determined the hotel would be either the Omni, Hilton, or Intercontinental and got the Intercontinental. Hotel is great, upscale, clean and very service-oriented. I thought I was going to move to a hotel further north (Woodlands) for Thursday night, but a change of plans had me rebook one additional night in the Gallaria area - same 4* search, same price ($65. but total $81.29 with tax). I spoke with the hotel manager to see if they would match the rate so I could avoid moving over to the Omni or Hilton since I had paid for an additional upgrade on-site. No deal - he took the $249. price down to $156. + $30. upgrade for nearly a $200. total. No deal. I'd rather move, so I came back up to my room and rebooked through Hotwire for the additional night -- again got the Intercontinental. No move and still paying less $$$.
