Hi, i am new to Hotwire/Priceline type of sites and way of purchasing accomadation.

I need to stay at a specific Hotel, and i think after trying to cross refernce the facilities shown and the individual hotels listed that are available with thier websites that, i may have found a match for the one i need to stay in.

Using your link here to Hotwire i have put in a search for accomadation for the days 5/18 - 5/26 in the Orlando Universal area of Florida.

I need to stay at the Double Tree at Orlando at the enterance to Universal.

This is for a conference ( not work, more hobby) and as i am from Australia the flights alone will mean i wont be able to afford car hire.

Can anyone give advice as to if they think the hotel advertised at 46.oo @ night in this 3 star catagory, in the orlando Universal i trolley area will be the Double Tree?

Can i risk booking it? is there any scope to emailing Hotwire and asking the probability without getting them to straight out tell me if its the one?

Any advice would be greatful, Thanks so much

Welcome to BetterBidding!

I wouldn't advice you to use PRICELINE for this. The Double Tree is not one of the frequent hotels in this zone.

Double Tree is rated 3.5* on HOTWIRE with the latest report the board have.

I took a look for your dates on HOTWIRE and the hotel i see in this zone is not the Double Tree .

How big is the conference? Do they have any special conference rates? If yes, when is the last date to book this?

Thoughts?

Thanks for the info Yellowdog.

I am a bit confused though.
Following the HOTWIRE link here i narrowed down the area searches by only ticking the universal i rdrive north route box in the left hand side area box.

it then gave me a list of possible hotels in this universal area.

For the Double tree that i thought fit the description it was the 2nd listing at 43.00 a night.( 3 star)

The amenities listed in symbols stated pool and high speed internet access ( fee may apply) ( these are correct as 10.00 @ day is charged for the in room access but free in the main lobby public areas.

The other hotel options listed as universal was a (3 1/2 star) and ( 3 star )

The reason that i think that these can not be the double tree is that they are listed as condos ( double tree does not have any according to thiewr website)

The parking is listed as free ( there is a 12.00 @ day self park charge at the double tree listed on thier website)

And lastly they both offer kitchen/suite nad condo facilities (which Double tree do not)

And i on the right track or am i not able to see all the hotels listed? that you may be seeing?

Double tree is most listed at 3 star and other sites seem to list it as 3 star as well.

Any further help would be appreciated greatly.

Does anyone know if you can contact hotwire via email to verify hotels if you need to stay at a particular one?

cheers, from Down Under
