All passengers should recieve the same gold anchor service regardless of their stateroom accomodations so they shouldn't need a special card to indentify special guests when all their guests should get superior service.

As someone in the hospitality business, I really appreciate this comment! Not all of us are able to afford to sail in suites...although there is always someday!!

It would have probably gone back down. The prices on Hotwire will fluctuate often.. $170 is still a good rate.

I know...I hear ya. But, I'd rather play safe than sorry. I work for a main hotel chain and it doesn't look like our associate rate will be opening up (damn busy season!)...

Has anyone stayed at the InterContinental using either Hotwire/Priceline? Should I expect the basement. I'll be honest - being the in hotel business - sometime, we usually give the lower rooms to these guests as they are paying a deeply discounted rate...Also, is there a resort fee? Their website doesn't offer much information.

Thanks...

I just got the InterContinental for $170 on Hotwire fro 1/23/09. Last week, the 4* was $155...should have hopped on it when I saw it! It looks like a couple of you will be joining us!
