Hotwire Hotwire: Misleads with Distances or when one mile is two. Internet

Next week I am flying into a unfamiliar city late at night and booked a hotel on Hotwire.  They listed the hotel as between .2 and 3.2 miles from the airport.  Once the hotel name and address was revealed I used google maps and depending on the route it was 4.2-4.8 miles.  Likewise, I got a similar result on the Hotel's website.  

I pasted this information into an e-mail and said that the distance was not as advertised.  The response I received was that the distance was not driving distance, but as the crow flies.  Since I am lacking wings and I can find nothing disclosing this on the website, I believe this is deceptive advertising.  

Hotwire then explained their policies and why they could not cancel the transaction.  I certainly see a huge difference in making a purchase based on incorrect information vs. being disappointed with the result.  Again, I cannot find anything on their website saying that distances are not driving distances, but as the crow flies.    Buyer beware.
