Hotwire Hotel: 2.5* Santa Barbara Sandman Inn

[LonghornTX]

:) I have stayed in Santa Barbara/Goleta many many times at the Holiday Inn Goleta booked on PRICELINE for between $60 and $66 per night. I did not get my recent price win of $62 and I saw hotwire had a new 2.5% hotel in Santa Barbara for $65. I was hoping it would be the Holiday Inn Express, since HOTWIRE usually offers national chains. The hotel ended up being the Sandman Inn - a very old Mom and Pop style motel. I have stayed at this motel before. The employees are very nice and the rooms are clean, but it is an old mom and pop motel. Also, they have a $71 price buster special on their website. So, once you pay the hotwire extra fee, the $65 rate saves you no money. I was upset by this and called Hotwire. They verified there was a $71 rate at the hotel website and gave me a $25 credit good on my next HOTWIRE booking.
