I gambled and lost. I went over the hotels in Ashland and tried to identify the hotels without a fitness center. Since this hotel does in fact have one, I ruled out the Days Inn as a possibility, and thought this might be the Ramada Ltd.

What's worse is that this win presented a situation I've been running into a lot lately - this rate is literally pennies lower than the lowest posted rate, and after I pay hotwire its fees, I am paying more money than if I booked direct.

I understand the risk/reward of HOTWIRE, I like their customer service much better than PRICELINE and I'll keep playing the game. But, this time I drew a dud hand.

Sorry to hear that you are disappointed with the result. Unfortunately, it seems as if discounts in smaller areas are often more limited or much more limited. Additionally, hotels may have amenities that aren't showing in the listings (as was unfortunately the case in this instance.)

Thank you for sharing your win with the board (and for letting the site know about this new property to add to the site's Hotwire Hotel List for the state) and for using the site's HOTWIRE link.

Enjoy your stay.
