Thanks for the information SK. And yes i'm sure the Embassy suites is a 3.5* on Hotwire. I paid $ 171.37 US ($ 217 CDN) for three nights. Had a great suite...large kitchenette, jacuzzi, separate bdrm., fireplace in living room, free full made to order breakfast, managers reception every night from 5:30 - 7:30 ( 2 free beverages of your choice). Great spot, the only thing I didn't like was the elevator key....impossible to be discreet.
Stayed there 01/28/09 thru 01/31/09. Bear in mind the 3.5 * listed currently on Hotwire is Le Nouvell as I just booked it for March. The only difference in the listing was the spa. So, if you're considering booking now, you'll probably get Le Nouvel.
I'll post a review of the hotel when i get back.
