Hotwire Hotel: 3* San Francisco (Fishermans Wharf) Holiday Inn Express

[melle18]

I'm looking at a 3* Fishermans Wharf Hotel for 2 adults and 2 children for 30 Aug-2 Sept for 84$

Amenities: Fitness Center, Business Center, High-speed Internet Access

No TripAdvisor ratings

If I search just for 2 adults I get a 3* for 82$ with amenities Fitness Center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business Center

Business Center, Laundry Facilities, High-speed Internet Access and TripAdvisor 4 out of 5.

I suppose the latter is the Holiday Inn Fishermans Wharf but I don't have a clue about the first. I guess I could book for just 2 adults and hope/ask for 2 queen beds.

Help is very much appreciated!

See the related link in our PRICELINE FAQ regarding bidding/room requests.

While many hotels will try to work with you regarding bedding requests, they're under no obligation to do so since all that is guaranteed with HOTWIRE is the number of guests you included in your search, and given this is a busy time in San Francisco, the hotel may be unable, or unwilling, to accomodate your request for a room with two beds... how would you handle a situation if you received a room with only one bid?

Are you ready to commit to your purchase at this time?

Thanks for the reply. I'm indeed aware of the 2 beds issue, that's why I tried Hotwire for 2 adults and 2 children. The problem is that I haven't got a clue which hotel they are offering me while I'm quite sure about the one for just 2 adults

[thereuare]

The 'alternate' hotel only showing limited amenities has not yet been reported to the board. There is a chance it's the same property only showing limited amenities when searching for 2adults/2children, but no way to tell for certain or take too much of an educated guess given this amenity combination has not yet been reported for a hotel in this zone.

No TripAdvisor ratings

the 3* Fishermans Wharf Hotel is still up for $84 with the same amenities (Fitness Center, Business Center, High-speed Internet Access) . Now the tripadvisor rating is added. Maybe that will help in identifying it?

Recommended in 80% of customer reviewers 500+ total reviews

Overall satisfaction 4.0 Condition of hotel 4.0 Quality of service 4.0 Room comfort 4.0 Room cleanliness 4.0

Location of hotel 4.5

The hotel which comes up with 2 adults but with amenities Fitness Center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business Center, Laundry Facilities, High-speed Internet Access has exact the same rating making the chances it being the same hotel much higher.

The Holiday Inn has only 366 reviews so I am still confused

[AaronJB]

This would not be the HI if it has 366 reviews and the tripadvisor rating is showing 500+. The amenities are also common to a lot of hotels. Let me see if I can take a look and find anything.

[AaronJB]

Looking at the listing, those are HOTWIRE reviews; tripadvisor reviews - if visible, and they are not always seen on each listing - would be showing below that towards the bottom of that page with a small image at that would indicate the rating (3.5/5, etc.) and possibly number of reviews.

[FvanSon]

Could the 3-star hotel above mentioned the Best Western Tuscan Inn? This is the only hotel with more than 500 reviews and a rating of 80% at Fishermans Warf. The hotel has not a fitness center but guests may use the fitness across the street.

The "500+ total reviews" is not the Tripadvisor reviews, but rather reviews submitted to HOTWIRE from guests who booked this hotel. This 500+ number has no correlation to the number of Tripadvisor reviews posted at the Tripadvisor website.

If you believe this is the same hotel that is appearing your 2adult/0children search, if you look at the Tripadvisor information for the 3* property on that search you'll see under the green circles 360+ reviews, which is consistent with the Holiday Inn.

Thanks for all your help, AaronJB and Thereuare. Good to know that those reviews and ratings aren't Tripadvisor ones. I allready thought the ratings looked odd. On the moment I don't see any indication about reviews and ratings. I can only remember that those 2 hotels had eactly the same when i looked.

If I do a search for other months say June or July I think I get the same hotel for 2 adults/2 children but now only Internet and Fitness do appear. If I delete the children I allways get the other one, probably the Holiday Inn. I'm rather intrigued about the identity of the hotel.

I guess I just wait a few months and hope a 3,5* comes up.

[melle18]

Today I looked again and now saw that the 3* hotel for 2 adults/2 children had a hotwire recommendation of 90% instead of 80% for the 2 adults and no children, so I tried my luck using the Betterbidding HOTWIRE link.

I won the Holiday Inn Express and Suites instead of the Holiday Inn :)

I'm very pleased!!

To summarize:

3* Fisherman Wharf

amenities shown up: fitness, internet and bussiness centre :)

$79 a night for 2 adults and 2 children 2010-8-30/2010-9-2

Maybe the title of this thread can be changed?

It's hard to identify hotels if Hotwire doesn't show all amenities!

[LexLuthor]

Interesting. For 2/2 for me on 8/27-8/29, I'm seeing 3* Fisherman's Wharf with the 80% for $88. I guess that's the regular holiday inn.

At least now I know if the 90% shows up, it's the Holiday Inn express.

Thanks.
