  1. We did like the hotel and the price was great. There were a few annoyances (wet carpet/etc) but still was a good hotel.
  2. Curious how often the Disney shuttles ran and if they worked out for you. Thanks.
  3. We stayed there last November for $99/night plus $12/night resort fee (was a deal the hotel ran itself) Nice hotel. Great location. It was great to get food and cook in the room. The kitchen has everything including a dishwasher except an oven. Also, there is a laundry machine in the room (it is a washer/dryer combo). They give you the packets to use it. The resort fee covers parking, two bottles of water and a few other things. Most hotels there charge it. The pool was good and had a zero-in entry on one side that my 2 year old loved. The pool could have been heated a little more but otherwise great. They did close it the last day but we were leaving anyway. The transportation to WDW was not great at all. You have a call the night before and setup a specific time. Then you call from the park and setup a pickup time. We arrived early only to find out that the shuttle could not take us. After I complained the hotel paid for a cab, it was still a hassle. Then on the way back we waited over an hour. They were very late. Better off driving and parking at WDW. If you leave and come back, you can usually get a very close up spot and then walk into the park. We did that the rest of the time and it worked out great. If I was flying in to Orlando and not renting a car, I would just stay inside the park. Seems like the WDW shuttles come very often. Another interesting thing about the shuttles. The WDW shuttles have a much closer drop off point then other outside shuttles. We had a great time and are already planning to go back in the fall.
  4. Just curious. Does this price include the resort fee of $12/day?
  5. Just bid $50 and 3.5*. It accepted the first bid. AND I used the PRICELINE link from this sight before I bid. Hilton Suites Anaheim/Orange400 N State College Blvd Orange, CA 92868 714-938-1111 Check-In: Thursday, April 23, 2009-04:00 PM Check-Out: Sunday, April 26, 2009-11:00 AM Summary of Charges Room Cost (avg. per room, per night): $50.00 (USD) Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 3 Room Subtotal: $150.00 (USD) Taxes and Fees: $26.97 (USD) Total Room Cost: $176.97 (USD) The Hotel was nice. Parking was $11/day which is reasonable. The room was a Queen two room suite. There is a pull out sofa sleeper which is not too comfortable for adults. I called about switching to two double beds and the cost is $20/day. I stayed with the Queen. The good: updated hotel, nice location next to highway 5, our room and hotel were very clean. They have of the luggage dollies which made getting the luggage to the room and back to the car very easy. The ice machine was great for filling up the cooler. There was a hotel restaurant but we were at Disneyland most of the time. It looked nice. The not so good: The slider lock to the room door was coming off. No in-room safe and the safety boxes at the front desk cannot handle a laptop. Also, charging $8 to my room for bus passes took a long time (used cash after than). The front desk seemed to work in slow motion sometimes. The bad: The hotel was cleaning the carpet (in the rooms and hallways) and the staff informed us that our room would not be touched and would work with us to make sure we were going to be out of the room. We came back that same day to wet carpet and furniture. I called and complained. They offered another room but it would have taken hours to move my stuff. We decided to use the pool and when we got back it was ok (we were wet by then). Very annoying. The pool is just ok. Kinda small and 3.5 feet deep all around. Outdoor pool was too cold to swim in. The ART shuttle is worth the $4/day/adult. Much easier than driving to disney and then waiting for their shuttles especially if you have kids. We never waited more than 15 minutes. First day we drove. We had a waiting in a long line just to pay for parking. Then we had to wait for the shuttle to fill up before it would leave. Same thing on the way back. Then they closed that parking lot and Disney that evening move the parking to behind the Paradise Pier Hotel. With no tram. So quite the walk back (Could not take the monorail since I had dropped my wife and kids off at the entrance. Wish there was a way to get the hotels across the street for this price.
