Hotwire.com Is a Ripoff Don't Use This Website for Your Bookings!!!
Posted by Janal2004 on 07/12/2012
TEXAS -- I'm writing this review to make consumers aware of what a big rip off Hotels.com is. My husband and I were going to make a trip to Galveston Island to Moody Gardens for the weekend and something came up medically where we were unable to make it.
I called Hotwire consumer 800 number to ask if I could change the reservation to another day during the month. They stated that in order to do that I would have to fax a letter from the doctor stating that he had medical problems and was unable to travel etc.
In my opinion it is none of their business what medical problems he is having.
We were willing to pay any extra fees it would cost to change the reservation but because we booked from Hotwire.com we were unable to change the reservations and we were unable to obtain a refund. I am very upset because had I known that the discount they gave us was only $5.00 difference from what the hotel would have actually charged I would have called the hotel directly and booked us a room through the hotel. So in closing consumers beware... HOTWIRE IS A BIG RIP OFF. They only give you a small discount and there are no refunds once you book with them.

It's in their fine print that they can do what they do, because you agreed to their terms when you booked. All of these 3rd party re-seller sites are nothing nice to deal with. You have to be able to afford to lose your booking and or money when dealing with them.
Priceline is the worst of the bunch. Use Kayak for pricing then book direct. Screw these 3rd party scammers, heck they will screw you over in a heartbeat if given the chance to do so.

It is unfortunate, but when you confirmed the room, you agreed to certain terms.....and one of those terms is no changes. They gave you their solution, you chose to not accept it.
I do hope you get your visit to the gardens -

It IS a rip off. When you send them the note, they deny you. I have seen this happen before. The note doesn't make a difference. Either way, it is common courtesy to accommodate those with disabilities. This site does not do that at all. To people with disabilities, don't work with United Airlines OR Hotwire.

I had the same experience! Worse thing ever!
Posted by nunya on 2013-07-23:
you may find it unfair but do you know how many people call in and say that they need to cancel b/c of a medical issue. what hotwire asks you to send in is just a letter from a dr. stating that a medical issue has interrupted your plans and you need to cancel the hotel. they do not need specifics of what the medical issue is just that there is one. BTW read the terms of use before booking, It is not hidden it is listed in regular print that Hotrates are can not be canceled.

I went to a motel up by Mackinac island for a weekend. I went through hotwire.com. when I was in the motel a mouse ran through the room and the room smelled misty.I asked hot wire for a refund and they wouldn't. I just went to use the 50.00 credit they gave me and they said it expired. No one never told me that. What a rip off.they should be reported to the better business bureau. firstname.lastname@example.com
Posted by EL on 2013-08-21:
I booked a hotel through Hotwire.com and after finding out the hotel name I found out that there was no discount actually it was $0.50 cents less booking it directly through the hotel website. Hotwire website advertised that room with a saving of more than $110 per night which was false because after the fact the hotel website didn't have that rate. I called Hotwire to let them know after making my research and instead of helping in some way to alleviate my disappointing experience, they were deceiving with their answers. They were coming with all sort of explanations that were not truthful. I knew because I researched before my call. They said that my room rate was higher when I was looking online at the hotel website rate and then they would change their tactics and say things like we offer assistance in case the hotel gets overbook… really??
So disappointing dealing with them, I no longer will do any business with them.. be aware of their tactics

God, Hotwire sucks: Charged me for NOTHING. No service provided. Can't get money back
Posted by Lalafalala on 05/27/2008
Last Sunday, very early in the morning, I attempted to book a car rental through Hotwire from my hotel room in NC. At the end of the search, select, and provide credit card information sections, I pressed accept to complete the transaction and get my rental information. Instead, I received a notice informing me that the website was "unable to communicate" with their car-rental affiliates, was unable to process my request, and that I should start the process over in a few minutes. I did attempt several more times to book the car rental through them, and even switched computers once, thinking it might just be my mac laptop causing the problem, to no avail. Finally I gave up and booked the rental with another company.
Still, the next morning when I checked my bank account I found a charge pending for "Hotwire, Sales Final" in my bank account.. I called them. and talked to a very rude male customer "service" operator who basically said he'd never heard of such a thing and that he'd also never heard of a charge not being refunded due to company error. He assured me that the charge would disappear in a day or two. It's been three days and it's still on there.
I am now gearing up for war, but I would like to say to all who stumble across this review" DO NOT BOOK THROUGH HOTWIRE."
They truly are thieves. And, I found a better deal through Enterprise directly anyway.

before you prepare for war, think about disputing the charge w/ your credit card company IF it actually goes through...you may want to contact hotwire again and ask to speak w/ a supervisor for more info and be sure to let them know the situation...no matter what, i am pretty sure this will be able to be fixed up...just take your time and be sure to not blow up at anyone...good luck!
Posted by Anonymous on 2008-05-28:
I am guessing the charge was made with a check card(never a good idea by the way) the transaction is probably still in the hold stage. If the bank does not receive confirmation from the company for the charge it will probably drop off. In the mean time you should not be drawing against those funds as they are on hold and not available. It usually takes up to three days on hold before being released. If the charge ends up being processed, then file a dispute with your bank.
Posted by yoke on 2008-05-28:
Considering this past weekend was a holdiay weekend it may take a little longer. The banks were not open on Monday. Your 3 days start from the first business day. My guess is Friday the funds will be released.
Posted by carlm on 2008-06-27:
MY hunch is Hotwire wont do a thing. they are an awfull company. Never,never do anything withthem our there brothers at Expedia and hotels.com. Lousy, lousy scam.
Posted by rammaj on 2008-10-01:
too bad you don't know what a pending authorization is nor that the only one that can hold your funds is the bank. Hotwire can't hold your money. Did you ever think to call them and have the pending hold released, duhhhhhhhhh.

Booked through HOTWIRE
I got a credit from the car rental company that went back to HOTWIRE.
They refused to pass on the credit.
Hotwire will never get my business again!

Hotwire Hotel Warning = SCAM, FRAUD, LIES
Posted by CustomerXXX on 02/08/2008
CALIFORNIA -- Please do yourself a favor and avoid Hotwire for hotels, unless you want this to happen to you---
I booked a "3-star" hotel near Santa Barbara on Hotwire. Hotwire listed "retail" value of this "3-star" to be $243. They listed their price as paid $116 + tax/fees (which they noted to be a "52% savings"!). Sound like a deal? WRONG. What I got was a room at the Holiday Inn Express. Hotwire's own site lists Holiday Inn Express hotels to be 2.5 star, so passing this off after my purchase as a 3-star is misrepresentation #1. Was told by a Hotwire "manager" that this particular property was reviewed by their own Hotwire staff and by Hotwire customers and based on that, they had given this particular property a 3 star. (sidenote - Both Priceline.com and Tripadvisor rate this very same hotel as 2*)
---so, my PROBLEM #1 is---
**You can't state one thing on your site, and then make a special exception for one specific property AFTER the fact.** Even the hotel itself does not consider itself 3 star, because I called to ask. Bottom line= MISREPRESENTATION
Furthermore, the price on the HI Express website was actually less that Hotwire --- worked out to be $1.88 cheaper than the Hotwire price, for total savings of... less than zero.
----so, my Problem#2 is---
You can't tell me that I am getting a 52% savings, just to sucker me to buy, when in reality I am getting 0% savings, because that is ...MISREPRESENTATION
Further, the "retail" rate for a standard room at this HI Express has never been, under any circumstance or any stretch of the imagination, $243 (which was confirmed to me by the Hotel staff, and evident on their website). Upon questioning this with Hotwire, I was told that the $243 rate is supposed to be a representation of what other 3 star hotels in the area might go for. But it doesn't explain this anywhere on the Hotwire site before you buy!
So, my PROBLEM #3 is---
The HOTWIRE site basically just lies--the "retail prices" listed do not represent the actual price of the hotel you are about to buy -- in this case, not even remotely close..
Hotwire completely misleads consumers with completely false information. Their slogan of 4* hotels at 2* prices and their listed "savings" percentages lead you to believe that booking through them actually saves you some kind of money, when in reality, you will probably pay less directly through the hotel's website or somewhere else. Plus you get the worst rooms and get treated like a leper by the hotel, as the manager of the Holiday Inn Express treated me when I asked to at least pay him for an upgrade to my room.
--- "Manager" at Hotwire call center was of course no help whatsoever - a robot reading from a script ---would not help even switch me to another hotel that meets the parameters that I thought I was signing up for == ie a REAL 3 star hotel, and or a real hotel with a retail value of $243 or anything close to it. Calls to corporate have not been returned.
I will be filing this complaint with the BBB.
Any one ever, ever had any luck with a Hotwire refund or switching of properties, due to their misleading business practices?

First of all, hotels given a star rating, not chains, and this star rating is based on opinion only. For example: a 3-star hotel could easily be a 4-star for someone else. Hotels also have different prices for the same rooms (just like airlines have for the same seats) which are based on offers, discounts, etc. And yes, Holiday Inn Expresses can be that expensive in certain areas. You obviously don't understand much about this; otherwise you wouldn't have become upset at the manager for not allowing an upgrade, when he was not permitted to do.
My advice to you: sleep in your car next time, or buy a really nice (3-star) tent.
The old adage applies here: If something sounds too good to be true, it is.

In my opinion, there's not much of a difference between a 2.5 star hotel and a 3 star hotel - it's just half a star. I don't know what the fuss is about.
Posted by FoggyOne on 2008-02-09:
Check hotels in the area you want to stay first - get rates THEN go to one of these 3rd party agencies to see if you can get it cheaper. I checked at a hotel in Cancun, I went to Orbitzz and it was $12 MORE per night at Orbitzz plus their fee. Same for car rental, flights, etc. Do not believe what is on these 3rd party sites.

"In my opinion, there's not much of a difference between a 2.5 star hotel and a 3 star hotel - it's just half a star. I don't know what the fuss is about."
It's about false advertising and misleading business practices. This is about protecting consumers so that they don't get suckered into something that is NOT what they were sold on.
Further, I thoroughly researched all the hotels in the area, and all the real 3 star hotels are much nicer than the Holiday Inn Express. Further "Jambra" --you are the one who doesn't know what you are talking about--- the retail rate of this Holiday Inn Express is NOT $243 or anything even close to it-- so why are you people defending something you know nothing about?
Smells like Hotwire employee to me.
Good luck to you if you book a Hotel through Hotwire -- despite all your negativity I do hope that this complaint will help save at least one person from getting ripped by Hotwire.
You all are obviously missing the point. The ad stated 52 % savings -it was a lie - I saved 0% AND got stuck with a non-changeable, non-upgradeable, non-refundable hotel -- where is the benefit to that? Hotwire's advertising is deceptive, bottom line, no matter how much you want to defend them.
By the way even Hotwire's own PARTNER site Tripadvisor lists this VERY SAME exact Holiday Inn Express as a 2* (even less than Hotwire)

You should consider a class action law suit on this issue, definitely deceiving. They are not going to change it till it hits the corporate pocket books......
Posted by george94086 on 2008-05-17:
I have the same experience a few days ago. I should read this review before I made the booking from hotwire.com. They have false ad. on their website to mislead me that I can save 41% ($67 per night)if I make the hotel booking through them, but after I made the final purchase, the end-up result shows I only save $25 per night for a hotel which has quite a few negative feedback showing on the expediate.com custom feedback site. After I talked to hotwire.com custom care people, they only give me the so called $25 hotdollars credit which I can use within one year if I make the booking from them again. I'm not satisfied with this outcome and I've talked my credit card company (Citibank), they said they're going to dispute this transaction for me. I hope more and more people can be aware of this kind of false and misleading commercial behavior on hotwire.com. They don't honor their promise and their business model, which is very bad.

Just got scammed by hotwire myself. I've stayed at hundreds of hotel, everything from 1 star to 5 stars so I know what is expected within a certain star rating.
My husband & I went to Madison, WI for the weekend to a benefit sale. I found a "2 star" hotel on hotwire for a very low rate that was just down the road from the sale. Bought it & found out it was some unknown brand.
Got there & was disgusted by the filth! Mold every where, blood on the wall, bugs in the bed. You name it it was there. I wasn't expecting the Ritz after buying only 2 star, but I DID expect a CLEAN room from a RELIABLE hotel like advertised on hotwire. I wouldn't have even given this hotel 1 star...that would be too nice!
I'm fighting the "all sales are final" policy now with the BBB since paypal can't do anything about it.
Everyone should watch out for hotwire. I used to have good luck with their services, but if they're allowing junk hotels such as the Road Star Inn to list with them than they will be loosing my business & many others also I'm sure!
You can't sell nasty rooms even as 2 stars...that's false advertising & it's illegal to sell something & give your customers something else.
Posted by TK on 2011-07-12:
It is true what this person is saying about Hotwire. I had a similar experience with Hotwire's rental car. I actually ended up paying more for a mid size car through Hotwire than renting it directly through the rental company. Please look at the charges that is classified as tax recovery and fees. They won't tell you or give you the breakdown of what those charges are and customer service will not help even to tell you what those charges consist of. From my calculation, my vehicle rental was approximately $134.00 for 4 days and Hotwire charged me $93.45 for so called tax recovery and other fees. Some will say it was my fault for not looking at the total charges, but you know something is going on if they can't even tell you what those charges consist of. I will never use Hotwire again, ever.

Posted by Alex C on 2013-12-22:
BEWARE WHEN USING HOTWIRE. They may provide cheap bookings and on the whole they were good value for money, but that does not excuse failing to help when things go wrong.
We booked a car through Hotwire and pre-paid the full amount (we even printed off the e-voucher saying that we had), unbeknowst to us, the payment was withheld by our card company for 24 hours as part of normal fraud precautions as we were travelling. The following day the card company contacted us and asked us to authorise the payment. Too late! Hotwire had cancelled the booking! This would have been acceptable had they then not failed to tell us for the next 13 days until we arrived at the airport and were unable to pick up a car. We were forced to book a car on the spot (at crazy prices as you would expect) as Hotwire said they would not help.
Upon returning to the UK and raising the complaint it took 3.5 months and a huge volume of emails and calls (they charge you 14p per minute just to rub it in!) by myself to eventually get them to offer to pay some of the DIFFERENCE in cost!
So be warned, I agree that they may be the cheapest option but they will not think twice about leaving you hanging if something goes wrong, EVEN IF IT IS THEIR FAULT!

Scam - Booking Hotels
Posted by Hotwire LB on 01/30/2009
I booked a hotel on Hotwire. Then I was informed of where the reservation was. I checked 5 minutes later and the price at Orbitz (hotel room/taxes/fee's was lower). When I called Hotwire, the said no low price guarantee refund- because the price they list is lower for the room itself- not including taxes and fee's. So, had I booked with Orbitz my cost out the door was cheaper, but Hotwire will not honor. Also, the scam with Hotwire has me 15 miles away from the city.
I would have never booked this had they mentioned it being so far away.

it isn't a scam. It sounds like you clearly don't understand the zones that Hotwire uses. There are many sites such as better bidding.com and info on Hotwires own site that explains where the 'zones' are. Since you didn't understand where is the 'scam'?
Posted by Nickcole on 2013-07-15:
I booked a hotel on Hotwire.com ..... do not use the site they are scam !!!!!! The hotel that was booked did not show the location until after you book it then they offer insurance in case you have to cancel . So I bought the insurance just in case well after we drove to our destination there was people smoking crack and sitting outside their doors !!! I went inside to the hotel lobby to find a middle eastern middle aged male and told him he could cancel my reservation due to there pool was green ,told him that people were outside congergating smoking drugs and that i would not stay there and he was going to refund me until he saw on the computer that i was booked with hotwire.com and he said if i would have booked with them directly i could have been refunded , Scary part if town way too much for that location !! We thought we would be in jeopardy for our life in I called Hotwire to cancel and they said in order to cancel with the insurance you have to have had a major emergency like going to the hospitial and that I could not be refunded ! Needless to say I lost my $80.00 .i will tell everyone I know DO NOT USE HOTWIRE.com
Posted by Eileen on 2013-07-25:
I have seen the Hotwire ads on tv . I don't book any hotel until I read pages of Trip Advisor revirews so there is no way I would book a hotel that I did not know the location until after I had booked .As for car rentals
probably the worst cars that no national chain would touch .How much have you saved if you have the hotel room or car rental from hell ?

Bad business, Overcharging, Rude customer Service
Posted by Care_ahhh on 07/16/2007
I made a reservation on Hotwire.com for a hotel in Pigeon Forge, TN. I paid $76.00 plus tax making the total $90.00. When I arrived at the hotel I saw the computer screen behind the desk. And was totally shocked to see that Hotwire was only being charged $52.00 for the room. I already paid a $5.00 booking fee to Hotwire and now they are getting $20.00 extra dollars?
Hotwire states they have "deeper" discounts because hotels sell them they unsold rooms. Yeah, hotels sell the rooms cheaper to Hotwire but Hotwire still charges the full price to customers. In fact, I could of saved close to $9.00 by just walking in or reserving on the DaysInn website. Their normal non-discounted rate was less than I paid.
I called Hotwire.com's customer service and waited 20 minutes to speak with someone. I got this very rude agent who stated,"we are a for-profit company and we can charge whatever we want for a room." I understand this, but the manner in which it was said was so rude! I could imagine her rolling her eyes when she said it. Well, since Hotwire did not save me anything and just upset me. I will take my business elsewhere. At lease then I won't get surprised with a "3 star" roach motel. The reason Hotwire.com doesn't tell you what hotel you will be staying at ahead of time..is just so that you can't check with the hotel to make sure you can't being charged MORE.

Posted by Sarah May on 2007-07-16:
I have yet to hear good feedback about Priceline or any other company of that sort. Why bother going through them? Perhaps use their site as reference, to find hotels in the area, but call and reserve for yourself. The very rude customer service rep on the phone was right; they are for-profit and you'll always pay high when a profit-seeking middle man is involved. Thanks for the review.
Posted by Anonymous on 2007-07-16:
While we are on the subject of travel web sites. Item in the paper last week stated that sites such as Priceline, Orbitz and Travelocity are dropping their booking fees. That is because too many potential customers are using their sites to find the best fares and then jumping over to the hotel or airline sites to make the purchase.
Posted by Hugh_Jorgen on 2007-07-16:
I admit it PB - I use Orbitz to check my flight options and then I deal direct with the airline - I get a better deal going direct with the airline at least 80% of the time.
Posted by rhondam718732 on 2007-07-16:
It honestly amazes me that people still book on these types of sites without checking the actual hotel/airline sites in comparison. These sites have been around long enough for the word to have spread...they are not cheaper!
Posted by On the Road on 2009-03-10:
You most likely could not have gotten the rate you say, as it is a contract rate negotiated by Hotwire and the hotel. THere are other rates also not available to the public, like the rates travel industry employees get.

Hotwire - Customer Service Means - Don't Care What You Paid; Out of Luck
Posted by Scoop42 on 10/04/2010
I made a 4 day rental on Hotwire (4 x 52.95). When I picked up the car, the car company showed 3 days on their documents. I called the car company when I noticed this during my vacation. We were told that we needed to deal with Hotwire because Hotwire sent 3 days to them; 3 days x 52.95 (and the car company representative said, "good luck with getting any refund from them").
That's when I discovered that a rental day doesn't mean 24 hours. It could mean 1 minute and up to 24 hours.
We used the car 3 days and 4 hours. The car company charged us $115 for bringing the car back 3 hours late. When I called Hotwire to get the $52.95 credited to my card for the 1 day that was not included in my Budget contract I was told that I would not get a credit because I returned the car late.
While sales are final with them, I would hope that Hotwire would at least give a customer the funds that were paid; not so. They have shady practices. I wish I would have read the reviews before using their services. It's not worth it!!! I WILL NEVER USE THEM AGAIN!

What times did you request for pick up and drop off when you made your booking?
Posted by dan gordon on 2010-10-04:
you were either charged for 3 or for 4 days, so which is it? If you weren't charged for 4 but thought you had booked 4 then you got what you paid for
Posted by Scoop42 on 2010-10-05:
I was charged for 4 days (4 x $52.95)at Hotwire and Budget had 3 days on their contract.
Posted by Scoop42 on 2010-10-05:
I picked up on Sept. 3 at 11:00 a.m. and returned the car on Sept. 6 at 4:00 p.m. The booking had a return of 12:00 p.m. I didn't think the returned time mattered since I knew it would be back before 11:00 a.m on Sept. 7th.
Posted by Ben There on 2010-10-05:
Some car companies give you an extra hour for not much additional money, so there is a 24 hour rate, a 24 + 1 hour rate, and then the 2 day rate. This is so people who are just over 24 hours are not penalized the full amount.

Bait and Switch
Posted by JenFrench on 07/27/2009
I booked a hotel for a family trip to Fenway Park in Boston for last weekend using Hotwire. After doing some research and wanting to stay in a hotel in Copley Square, I input all of the information into Hotwire with my request and selected a "blind" hotel at a rate I was comfortable with that I believed would be in afore mentioned area. After my order was placed, I was given the Best Western Roundhouse...being new to traveling in Boston, I just assumed we were going to be in or right near Copley Square. BUT, when we arrived we were EXTREMELY disappointed to find ourselves in a less than family friendly area and NOT within walking distance to Fenway. Think twice before booking with the Hotwire service. I know I won't book with them again.

Hotwire gives you a map of the area, and the hotel will fall into that map. If you are not familiar with the location then you probably should get your hotel in more traditional methods.
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-07-27:
Not a bait & switch because you were not offered a specific hotel then switched to something else. That's the chance you took with selecting a 'blind' hotel through Hotwire. At the time that Best Western was probably the only one available via the 'blind' search on Hotwire. For now on do some research then call hotels for their best rates.
Posted by dan gordon on 2009-07-27:
better bidding.com would have given you a hotel list. There are different sites that would have helped you get a better idea of which hotel you were getting.
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-07-27:
I've never been in that hotel, but I always thought it looked really cool. I don't know ages of your family, but you really weren't that far from the Fenway, as the crow flies it's maybe a 20 minute walk. You were also only a couple of blocks from the Green Line, so you could have taken a subway right to the Fenway stop.
As for not being family friendly, the area between you and the Fenway is 2/3 Boston Medical Center, and 1/3 Christian Science Mother Church, certainly not bad for an afternoon walk. By the waym the tour of the Mother Church is a really good take, and would have broken up the walk to Fenway.
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-07-27:
The OP was correct when stating the property is not in a 'family friendly' area. According to TripAdvisor reviews posted there is a homeless shelter nearby which leads to many panhandlers. The parking may be free but it's not secured and unlit at night. It rated 65 out of 75 for the Boston area.

Woe Be the Traveler Who Presses the Wrong Key
Posted by MrBob2601 on 05/26/2008
We travel quite a bit and have used Hotwire several times with good results. BUT NEVER AGAIN. If you make a mistake and IMMEDIATELY call their customer service for a correction you will have to wait up to 72 hours for a reply.
We booked a flight with Hotwire to San Juan, PR. They booked us with American Airlines going down and with Delta Coming Back.
To make a long story short, even though we immediately called to correct our mistake they were going to Charge us $150 per ticket for a return flight change plus another $150 for airfare changes. WE TOLD THEM YOU'VE LOST A CUSTOMER. We let them keep the #$#$** tickets and booked our own return flight direct with Delta for $121.40 each for a savings of approximately $179.00 per ticket X 2 = $358.00
Poor ... Poor ... Poor ... Service when needed. Plus big loss of money for making corrections.

There are only three ways to discount a good or service and still make a profit: 1) obtain the good or service at a lower 'wholesale' cost, 2) obtain the good or service at market cost and cut the expense of selling, 3) tilt the sale terms entirely in the seller's behalf and rig the dispute resolution in favor of the seller...the seller then passes on the illicit profits skinned from other customers to other customers. Number 3 is becoming SOP for many discounters.

Had you done research before the fact, rather than after, M3C users would have told you over and over again--don't make hotel/motel/airline reservations through a third party.
Posted by Ben There on 2008-05-28:
So what happened exactly? Were your original dates wrong? Most of those fees were airline penalties that the airline charges, not Priceline. Why do you feel that Priceline should eat all those costs because you made a mistake?
Also, if Delta direct was cheaper all along, why did you not buy from them in the first place?
Posted by Anonymous on 2008-05-31:
Why does this become the third parties' fault when you were the one who made the wrong booking??? If your definition of "immediately" is within 24 hours, you might still be able cancel the reservation and get a refund (exceptions for special/bargain fares and some airlines). Besides, Hotwire is following the airlines rules.Whether you book with HW or the airlines direct, same penalties will apply.

Deceptive advertisement
Posted by Stanwi on 02/10/2008
ORANDO, FLORIDA -- I booked and purchased a room on there website. They do not show the hotel when you purchase the room but they do show star rating, location area and amenities. Amenities they show will be restaurant, swimming pool etc..Some of the hotels advertised show that they are non smoking hotels. My wife and me are smokers so I would not purchase that type of hotel. The hotel which I purchased did not show it as a non smoking hotel When I went to the hotel website it clearly states ( the hotel description) they have 400 guest rooms and below it its says they have 400 non smoking guest rooms. When you purchase a room on hotwire website they state they can not guarantee a smoking room. I am not questioning this policy. I selected this hotel because it was not shown to be a non smoking hotel and in the past when I booked on there website I have had success in getting smoking rooms. I can not get a smoking room in a non smoking hotel. One of the responses which they sent me indicated that they are (concerning stated amenities) subject to
the published conditions of carriage and rules of the applicable hotel. I based my decision to purchase this hotel on the stated amenities or in this case unstated amenity.
They are being defiant in giving me a refund. I have even sent this to them: FTC's Deception Policy Statement, an ad is deceptive if it contains a statement—or omits information—that is likely to mislead consumers acting reasonably under the circumstances and is "material" or important to a consumer's decision to buy or use the product.

Checked out their website last year, did NOT like it..Ended up booking with Orbitz.
Posted by GothicSmurf on 2008-02-10:
If you want something particular, book direct with the hotel. Booking direct will most likely be less $ anyway.
When I read what you wrote about the hotel having 400 guest rooms and 400 non smoking rooms, I would assume that 400-400= 0 Smoking rooms.
Posted by jlc9764 on 2008-03-07:
Hotwire.com clearly messages on their Web site if you have specific needs you should book directly through a hotel and even directs you to other Web sites where you can make specific requests......

Insulting customer service at hotwire
Posted by Eelbeck on 11/15/2006
INTERNET -- We arrived around 10pm November 3, 2006 in Alexandria Virgina to stay at a purported (by Hotwire) 3-
star Radisson we'd booked through HOTWIRE for $128.00 for two nights , were
given room keys, and unpacked. Around 10:30 we called to report
that two lamps were not working, a phone was not working, and there were
no ashtrays in this 'smoking' room. The desk clerk came up and
put us in another room, claiming that it was easier to move us than
the address the reported problems. We moved to another
room, quickly unpacked again, and left to eat, returning around 11:45
to notice that the room had not been vacuumed... there were cellophane
wrappers on the carpet, and ashes by the bedstand, .Then we walked
into the bathroom to notice pubic hair on toilet, and many puddled
urine stains on toilet rim, and on the floor.
We quickly packed again, checked out around
midnight, and spent the next hour securing a decent place in town to stay. We not only did not stay there because of sanitation
reasons, we were very much inconvenienced by the situation and wound
up paying over $200for Fri/Sat nights at another hotel.
Hotwire refused to refund the $128.68
charged, rather offered us an insulting $50.00 credit on our 'next booking', as if we would ever use them again!
Hotwire profited nicely (Raddison had paid them)on our extreme inconvenience. In reviewing many complaint sites about Hotwire, I've learned (too late) that they NEVER refund money for any cirumstances. BEWARE of these crooks.

Let me ask some of you this... If you buy a brand new Lexus from Joe's Lexus and the car's engine seizes up...are you going to let Joe's Lexus "off the hook" while you battle it out direct with Lexus? NO! Same with these "host" companies. If a business sells you a product or a service as a reseller they should have some ownership in how the product/service pans out for the customer. After all they are making money off of us but when a problem occurs they should get to just point their finger to the manufacturer or hotel chain solely? Hotwire doesn't personally clean & inspect the rooms it sells, but it vouches for the hotel as a particular type/star, etc. And it should appeas a wronged customer & take it up with the hotel they contracted with; not leave the burden to the customer who has already paid them.
Posted by Doe3001 on 2006-11-15:
Good point rhon: blaming just the hotel is not right and only allows these companies to continue their bad business practice. They should take responsibility too. Look at hotels.com (another company owned by EXPEDIA). In their ads they make people believe that they inspect all hotels they list(sending a "team" of Experts) but just go and read all the complaints they have in the web.
Posted by Anonymous on 2006-11-16:
Well Rhon... using your logic, if you went to the supermarket and bought a can of beans, then opened it and found a dead mouse in it... you sue the supermarket?
Posted by cd123 on 2006-11-23:
Radisson actually had the bad product, not Hotwire. While you might want to forward your concerns to Hotwide so they may investigate the problems, you should focus your ander to the hotel chain. If you buy a CD from Amazon.com that you just hate once you get it in the mail and listen to it, would you blame Amazon or the band?
Posted by lorable lore on 2014-03-31:
The dead mouse / soup can analogy is stupid. Do you think that supermarket would continue to carry this soup maker? do you think the supermarket manager would be embarrassed and horrified that this happened in his store? Hotwire should refund the money, lower its start rating or remove this property from its offering. That is good business, and im sure the above customer would use hotwire again.

Ness, best known as the leader of the band Social Distortion, has spent the last four weeks touring with his solo act, which pays homage to the classic American rockers and country stars who influenced him as a youth and propelled him to a successful career of hard, loud, fast and anti-social music.
"In this show, I give back a little bit to the fans what these guys gave to me," Ness said Tuesday in an interview with the Sparks Tribune.
"These guys" are the musicians Ness heard long before the punk sound emerged in the late 1970s. Born in 1962, Ness first heard artists like Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Woody Guthrie and Marty Robbins, and his solo tour, which ends in Chico on Sunday after Saturday's show in Reno, largely features "songs I've always been playing in my living room," Ness said.
"I brought roots music to punk," Ness said of the inspiration this music brought to his angst-ridden career. "With this show I want to bring everything I've learned in the last 30 years to bring some edge, dirt and attitude to roots music."
Fans who have followed Ness' solo work will already be familiar with his recorded efforts to put the edge and dirt in some of these older songs — songs that Ness said he will feature prominently in his Reno show. In 1999, almost a decade after Social Distortion's self-titled breakout album and after more than two decades on the music scene, Ness released his only two solo albums, "Cheating at Solitaire" and "Under the Influences," which each feature an amalgam of songs by Ness and the musicians who inspired him. Among the highlights of the solo releases are covers of Bob Dylan's heartbreak song "Don't Think Twice," Cash's lament to infidelity "Long Black Veil," Marty Robbins' outlaw tale "Big Iron" and Sonny Curtis' "I Fought the Law." Covers of Hank Williams' "Six More Miles" and the Carter Family's "Wildwood Flower" and Ness' own "If You Leave Before Me" and "Rest of our Lives" all pluck at the heart strings while Ness twangs on his guitar strings.
While Ness' solo work is unmistakably his, the music is distinct from the Social Distortion music. The slow-train rhythm and sweetness of "Ballad of a Lonely Man" is a far departure from songs like "Mommy's Little Monster" and the honky-tonk version of "Ball and Chain" is very different than the original punk recording, but fans who appreciate the origins of Ness' music and his talent and energy as a performer will be won over by this different body of work.
"If you like Social D., you're going to love this," Ness said. "There are a lot of similarities."
But Ness promises that Saturday's show will not be devoid of Social Distortion music. If the encores of previous Ness live performances provide any foreshadowing, the conclusion of Saturday's show will likely feature a combination of Social Distortion music, a la "Story of My Life, and tribute music, a la Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire."
Mike Ness performs with special rockabilly guests the Horton Brothers on Saturday at 8 p.m. in the Grand Sierra's Grand Theatre. Tickets are $30 and can be purchased by calling the box office at 1-800-648-3568 or online at www.grandsierraresort.com.

I worked at Demand Media full-time for more than a year
Pros – Great location; very smart people from the original crew; not a lot of tech co's in Santa Monica to choose from; still potential for big things
Cons – product and direction of the company are in flux and concern that the best years of the company are behind them; constant attrition of top talent
Advice to Senior Management – Clear strategic direction and committing to what you state publicly and privately
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Happy 45th Anniversary: Nostra Aetate
The document was hotly debated, and it went through several drafts. It began life as a rather straightforward statement on the church's relationship with the Jewish people. It was later broadened to include ALL non-Christian religions, specifically remarking on Hinduism and Buddhism, with special attention paid to Islam and most especially, Judaism.
read it here.
Given the fact that World War II, and the Holocaust, had ended less than 20 years before, and the fact that most of Europe was still recovering from the effects of that devastation, the document grew of the bishops' desire that such things must not happen again, and the text ends:
"The Church reproves, as foreign to the mind of Christ, any discrimination against men and women, or harassment of them because of their race, color, condition of life, or religion. On the contrary, following in the footsteps of the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, this sacred synod ardently implores the Christian faithful to 'maintain good fellowship among the nations' (1 Peter 2:12), and, if possible, to live for their part in peace with all, so that they may truly be children of the Father who is in heaven."
Hard to believe it's been 45 years since this document made headlines. We still have a long way to go!

Open Question:ReplyDelete
What in 2010 is different to 1965? What challenges does relativism pose to this dialogue with non-christians ?
How can this dialogue bear fruit at a time when many spiritual not religious see this very dialogue as a green light for their faith jumping and DIY spirituality?
Some things to consider:
--For many years now, there has been an ongoing Roman Catholic-Moslem dialogue taking place here in the United States. In fact, there are three such "conversations" going currently in the US (East/ Midwest/ West). The Midwest variant met last week in Milwaukee. According to one participant I know (a local RC Priest/pastor) it was a genuine success.
--For over seven years now, the RC Diocese of Toledo has had a "Covenant" relationship with the Northwest Ohio Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. This covenant calls for congregations of both sides within that dialogue to work together in any way they can. In 2007, almost 60 people from BOTH groups took part in an ecumenical pilgrimage to European sites important to both Lutheran and Catholic traditions: Berlin, Erfurt, Wittenberg, Assisi and the Vatican.
--For years, Jesuit-run John Carroll University in suburban Cleveland has had an open and very friendly relationship with the Jewish community which surrounds it. (At one time, someone told me that this neighborhood around JCU is 45% Roman Catholic; 45% Jewish; and 10% everything else.) I suspect, but do not know, that Jesuit run Xavier University in Cincinnati shares students and faculty with Hebrew Union College/ Jewish Institute of Religion because they are so close geographically.
Collaboration and respect and articulation among major religious groups is far more common than you might suspect -- at least in the Midwest.

On the Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting, and coming liberal efforts to politically exploit it…
A terrible and awful thing has happened in Connecticut at a school in Newtown, Connecticut, I'm told. A shooting at a school, 26 people dead, including 18 children. It's just awful. It is terrible, incomprehensible. But I'm gonna tell you something. As we sit here at this very moment, you know it and I know it, there are liberals trying to find a way to blame this on conservatives and Republicans. It may sound a little hard-edged to say that, but I've lived through these things for 25-plus years.

I was wondering how many of you heard the story on NPR, "Think You're an Auditory or Visual Learner? Scientists Say It's Unlikely," in which psychologists question the scientific basis of learning styles, and encourage teachers to vary their teaching methods but not tailor their lessons for specific students' (perceived) styles. What's your response? Based on your experience, do you agree or disagree with these findings, or has this changed your thinking about your lessons? To what extent do you tailor for specific students, or are you more inclined to vary your method of instruction anyway, as the researcher suggests?
National Museum of American History
I have worked with students who have needed to develop their own ability to function in considerations of the conditions that have caused their digression. Many of these students feel it is required of them to have an understanding of printed text. I have also worked with and facilitated discussions in forums where my groups felt satisfied that they were learning key factors from my instruction, that would help them relate their experiences to the topic covered. While both make a clear point. I would tend to agree with my later groups, that their functioning level in understanding learning material can expand extensively, by their being resourceful in the matriculation of core concepts and attainment of critical thinking.
Thank You,
Robben Wainer
What an interesting topic to ponder! I think it is fascinating to learn how the brain works and learns new things. After reading the NPR article, I am not sold on the idea that "it's a mistake to assume students will respond and remember information better depending on how it's presented." I do agree that as teachers we do need to "mix it up to boost attention". So one way you present the material might gather some students' attention better than another method. I do better when a teacher provides graphic organizers, charts and pictures rather than just listening to a teacher lecture in front of the classroom. What about the brain research that has been done on young girls vs young boys. I have been to classes where they showed us how different parts of the brain are active when learning and a girl's brain activity looks different than a boy's brain activity. I would think that this would impact how a student learns. I also learned in that class that kindergarten boys learned 200% more when they were active or in rocking chairs. When a teacher made the young boys sit still, they brain tended to shut off for short periods of time. Therefore, young boys seemed to learn best when doing things themselves.
I believe this is the key to negative labels place on students early in many student school years and lives. We assess learning styles at intake,students learn at that moment what methods are effective for them. This really can make a difference in so many of their lives. I refer to it as a goal setting motivation tool.
What an interesting statistic about kindergarten boys, Tammy! Like you it seems just from my own experience that some of us retain information better in one way than another. I know I have a hard time remembering information I've heard and not seen, but others do better just by listening. I'm eager to see more research on this topic, but agree that at the very least, it helps us all to be given information in a variety of ways.
I have observed and tested learning Styles approaches. My opinion: Learning Styles are super-important and crucial for quality teaching.
The problems?
1.) Sloppy and over-broad definitions - only one dimension; i.e., visual, auditory, tactile-proprioceptive. The three-dimension approach is like fishing with a safety pin for a fishhook and only using earthworms for bait.
2.) One-size fits all Teaching - every student must do the same assignment lesson planning, every student must hear the same lecture...
3.) The effects of stress are not factored into the Teaching and Learning Equation - Under stress, we tend to revert to our least-favored learning styles
4.) Ignoring basic learning principles such as The Curve of Forgetting, the ZiegarniK Effect, the Magic Number (Seven Plus or Minus Two Span of Consciousness),Last Item Learned, "Reticular Activating System" (RAS) brain filtering. the Role of Surprise, Suggestion of Learning Competence, Neuro-Lingusitic Programming (NLP) Anchoring techniques, Lack of Attention to the 90 - 120 minute Attention-Body Cycles, Multiple Intelligences, etc.
5.) A tendency to focus upon remediation instead of focusing upon students' strengths
I apply a modified Multi-Modal Behavioral Counseling Model to Learning Styles, and use a nine-item assessment. Then, I look for where students supply the incorrect category of information and I look for gaps in information what students cannot supply any content.
The B.A.S.I.C I.F.S.S. Model:
B - Behavior
A - Affect
S - Sensation
I - Imagery
C - Cognition
I - Interpersonal Relationships
F - Body Functioning (Energy, Dreams, Stress, Diet, Sleep Cycles)
S - Self-Talk
S - Self-Identity (Self-Concept, Self-Esteem, Ideals, Personal Goals, Religious Beliefs, Spiritual Search)
Also, listen to the verbs that students use. The verbs that students use reveal how they process information (NLP rapport building). Match students' verbs during instruction.
Strategies that fit the Learning Styles Model: Multiple Intelligences, Mutual Storytelling Technique, Total Physical Response (TPR) and Total Physical Response - Story.
Ask better questions and the debate about Learning Styles dissipates.
Teachers who are "Naturals" employ an intuitive understanding and an unconscious (even effortless) "Learning Styles Skill Set." Other teachers appear clueless about this important aspect of communication and learning.
Thank you so much for your post! You have really deepen this conversation, and I am interested in your thoughts on,
"Also, listen to the verbs that students use. The verbs that students use reveal how they process information (NLP rapport building). Match students' verbs during instruction."
Can you please give us some examples or more information on this concept, as I think every teacher would LOVE to hear more. I would rather it come from you, but if you could give us some URL's on this concept, that would be great.
Once again, thank you for taking the time/effort to inform us of your take on learning styles, and looking forward to your response.
I feel that you have explained the idea very well about learning styles! The one size fits all teaching does not work any more so using the modified Multi-Modal Behavioral Counseling Model to Learning Styles seems to encompass the whole child instead of just how they learn. I am also interested in the verbs they use as indicators of their learning. I will look for your response soon!
Thank you!!
Listening to the verbs that students use developed from basic Neuro-Linguistic Programming techniques.
The process is simple and easy for teachers to employ.
Just remember...
Code below: { phrases in curly brackets } = Sensory Verbs and Phrases
1.) You cannot understand what is going on within the thinking of students unless the student tells you.Even then you have to explore the Multi-Modal components of that experience before you {get in touch with / see clearly/ hear congruently} what the student expresses
2.) Your assumptions about what is going on within the thinking of each student is guaranteed to be "95-Plus-%-Wrong!"
3.) You must always test your hypotheses. If you test {by digging deeper, by reflecting, by asking for restatement} , you will know. If you fail to test, you remain {"lost and groping," "out of focus in a fog," and, "distracted by your own static}."
4.) When students are {relaxed and feeling comfortable/ in focus/ in tune with} themselves, they think "Primarily" with their preferred (strongest/ sharpest/ most amplified) modes of sensory thought
5.) Under stress, students (and their teachers) revert to their least-favored (weakest/ dimmest/ least amplified) modes of sensory thought
The steps:
1.) Listen to verbs that each student uses (This is not a group exercise, although you can manage group observations with structured data recording techniques.)
2.) Ignore the content of what the student is saying. You are listening only for sensory thinking processes (those verbs)
3.) Classify the verbs as:
a.) Tactile, Kinesthetic, Proprioceptive (Sense of Touch) [About 75% of students {will fall into/ be seen as/ sound congruent with} this category
b.) Visual (Sense of Vision) [About 24% of students {will be found to be placed/ be seen to be targeted/ resonate with} this category]
c.) Auditory (Sense of Hearing) [About 1% of students {will feel comfortable/ see themselves clearly in/ be in harmony with} this category]
This model demonstrates the reason that "Teacher Talk" proves so ineffective for instruction. While teachers talk, students {squirm and squiggle on their chairs / daydream and watch their own internal picture shows/ tune out and listen to their own self-talk}.
The reason that you need to ask sensory processing questions, and test your hypotheses concerning each person's preferred mode of thinking is that...
1.) Some communicators develop/ learn/ adopt/ adapt with an "instinctive/ intuitive " skill for matching the patterns of others
2.) Some communicators, such as teachers and counselors, train themselves to map verbs of all three sensory processes into one sentence
3.) Bilingual folks, whose native language is Verb-Driven (such as the Romance Languages), process thoughts based upon ideas in relationship to verbs
4.) There is a difference between inductive thinkers and deductive thinkers
One benefit of discovering the sensory processing preferences of your students is to assign "Visual" students to student project groups as "Resources." Students with visual processing skills enrich projects, so make sure that the project group knows the visual/ graphic/ image-related abilities that the group can take advantage of. If there are not enough "Visual" students to assign one to every group, share these students' time among multiple groups.
And, if you discover an "Auditory" student; teach them to ask questions, and assign them as consultants!
Practice mapping verbs of these three sensory modalities into single (sometimes two) sentences. Also, acquire the habit of using verbs that are mapped to multiple senses:
Refinement: When speaking to groups of students, and mapping verbs; look at the "Visual" students as you speak the verbs related to visual senses.
As you master these skills, you may discover that your language becomes "Hypnotic."
Example of a Hypnotic Suggestion for Positive Outcomes:
"Enjoy and be delighted by the harmony and satisfaction of knowing, doing, seeing, feeling, realizing and making contact with the soft, gentle tones that images of success play upon using the keys and strings of self-image that vibrates in the heart of your feelings and in your mind's eye.
Discover how stress dissolves, fades and dissipates; as the light of solid reasoning and the self-confidence of apparent problem-solving-success soothes, smoothes and silences distractions, irritations and suppresses any sense of off-key, faded-color; undoing the unbalance in your experience of yourself.
Face newly-formed,bright and sweet-sounding optimism; enlightened with smiles, calling a glimmer to your eye and a fragrant, dancing sound in your heart as you apply the intuitions and wisdom of mastery and achievement in those most desired and most wanted self-improvements in your capacity for holistic, boundless, learning success."
When you use verbs in this way, you "Overload" and "Overwhelm" students' sensory-resistence-barriers so that defense mechanisms (that operate at 1/36th of a second***) prove unable to reject the positive message.
*** I wish that I could remember this reference.
As additional food for thought regarding learning styles, I suggest that you read the blog All in a Data Filled Day by cgiddens posted in the Community Hub. She shares some sites to help assess multiple intelligence and cognitive styles. Also, she mentions some Thinkfinity resources and activities that address a variety of learning styles.
Hi Lynne,
I am a hard worker so I will help anyone having difficulties and change my teaching style to meet the needs of my students' specific learning styles. I also use my students interests along with their learning styles. When a Homebound Instructor, I had a variety of students. One was very strong with oral presentations, some others were tactile or kinesthetic and artistic, and another student liked to take things apart and place them back together.
My students have learning disabilities so I do a great deal of activities in which the students determine their learning styles. I feel that in order to learn compensatory strategies, they must understand everything about themselves. If they know that they are an auditory learner, then they probably need to read out loud in order to hear themselves read, etc. As a teacher, we do not need to know every students learning style, we must teach in a multisensory way. If we engage the students and force them to use all modalities, then every learning style is covered.
Nicely put. I am enjoying reading your thoughts throughout the community discussions.
Jane Brown
Thinkfinity Community Manager
Thanks! I am enjoying learning how to use Thinkfinity. I am finding all sorts of great stuff!
Hi Angela,
I liked reading your thoughts on teaching in a multisensory way to accommodate all learning styles. I don't know if this activity would be appropriate for all of your students, but some of them might enjoy the challenge of Zap!--a favorite Thinkfinity interactive provided by Science NetLinks to determine if an individual's learning style is more auditory, visual, or a combination of both. The activity is fun for all ages.
I recommend adding Zap to your resources for determining learning styles.
After reading your reply, I tried this interactive and can't wait to use it with my students. Thanks!
Many learning styles. In a shop setting Reading instructions is good but demonstrations and hands on are the best for me, they have to see. It is great when your doing a hands on their eyes light up and you know they got it.
Jane Brown shared these comments in another discussion on learning styles.
So much is written about identifying learning styles, but does knowing your students' learning styles really help them learn or help you teach?
Matching Teaching Style to Learning Style May Not Help Students by David Glenn (The Chronicle of Higher Education, December 15, 2009)
Are some lessons just better suited to one teaching style over another? Do students learn because you match their learning style or because you excite them with the way you present the topic? Cite an example from your professional experience that supports your view
Kingston Blessing added this post in response to Jane Brown's questions.
Real life application is what students need to succeed and excel.
Here is a video dealing with problem solving/STEM/Engineering.
This STEM assignment emphasizes 21st Century skills including creativity, cooperation, and innovation. The teacher certainly found a teaching style that excited his students to excel on a grand scale
Hi Lynne Hoffman,
I think teachers try using their students' learning styles to interest or excite the students in their learning. When students are interested in their own learning they learn better. I know I find teaching with learning styles most helpful when teaching as a Volunteer Tutor or Homebound Instructor.

Benchmark Electromagnetic Simulation of a Coil Using Infinite Elements
Model ID: 1412
Many environments where electromagnetic phenomena are modeled are unbounded or open, meaning that the fields should extend towards infinity. The easiest approach to model such is to use infinite elements.
COMSOL Multiphysics' implementation of these maps the model coordinates from the local, finite-sized domain to a stretched domain. The inner boundary of this stretched domain coincides with the local domain, while coordinates at the exterior boundary are scaled toward infinity.
This example shows how to model a coil in free space with infinite elements. It compares the result with the analytical solution of the problem, and also compares the results with and without infinite elements.
This model was built using the following:AC/DC Module

Elizabethton Fire Chief Barry Carrier said the quick thinking and action of his men saved a historic city structure from complete ruin Thursday afternoon.
At 3 p.m., fire department personnel removing the wreath from the Covered Bridge smelled smoke in the air and followed it to a fire at a garage behind 203 S. Riverside Drive.
Carrier said the blaze appeared to have started on the second-floor deck of the building, which once served as the carriage house for the century-old house, but was converted to hold a garage on the lower level and an apartment above.
Before the firefighters arrived on scene from the station just a few blocks away, the flames quickly spread up a wall and into the apartment's attic.
Grey smoke billowed from the eaves and peak of the metal roof and dissipated into the surrounding historic district as the firefighters scrambled with their hoses to the apartment's entrance.
To reach the burning roof timbers, they peeled back a corner of the roof and cut a hole in one side with an ax before dousing the area with water.
