This was also Parent's Weekend at Temple. I had the same difficulty finding a hotel room in the city at a reasonable price.

Burlington has an airport? The description sounds like it's the Inn at Essex. I've stayed at the Inn at Essex before and would rate it 4-star certainly, and the food at the restaurant (prepared by culinary students) was outstanding. I've stayed at several of the hotels & motels in the area as well.

The Inn at Essex (actually Essex Junction, next to Burlington) is a bit out of the way from Burlington, hence the lower location.

If you're interested in trying to snag the Omni at Champions Gate, make sure you ONLY select RESORTS and DO NOT select 4-star. Select only the zone "Disney Maingate" as well. If your price is accepted, you will most likely get one of the two resorts in that area - the Omni at Champions Gate or Gaylord Palms resort. We stayed at Gaylord Palms last year and absolutely love it.

The "resort" catgeory is considered higher than a 4-star category.

Good luck,

$75 per night, 5/13/10-5/17/10

Resort, Omni at Champions Gate - Disney Maingate

Started bidding at $60, used rebid method to increase bids by $5 until the $75 offer was accepted. Very happy with this choice and the price. Would have been equally happy with the other Resort in this category, Gaylord Palms Resort.

Used the PRICELINE link here.

We stayed at the Rosen Center last year and were very pleased. I would consider the $59 rate a steal for this hotel.

Congrats on snagging Gaylord Palms at that price. I would like to try to get this hotel for an upcoming trip. Can you please share the details of your bidding strategy? Did it come up as a 4-star or 4.5-star? I can identify it on Hotwire bids, but would like to try to use Priceline rates.

thanks
