Gah! Fount it. Buried on a "Specials" page? What is up with that? I'm calling them now. =============================== UPDATE: Looks like you're right about the parking. Fortunately, they have confirmed with me that I am guaranteed a parking space because I booked before a certain date -- apparently they have limited parking rather than no parking. I guess it's a net WIN for me because we won't be there during construction (Disneyland, baby!) and it looks like they aren't going to charge a resort fee either (and if they do, you can bet I'm going to raise a stink). Thanks for the information. I'd hat to have had to deal with that upon arrival.

Ouch. Do you have a URL for this information? I've been on here (http://www.bestwesternrafflesinn.com/) many times over the past few days, and I simply don't see it. Based on the site's information, I have no reason to assume that my stay is going to be interrupted with the inability to park on-site (or other issues). Please let me know. They should not be advertising on Hotwire if they are not going to list that sort of info up front. I'll have to give them/Hotwire a piece of my mind if you are correct. Thanks for the heads up!

Because I trust the Better Bidding lists so much, I went ahead and booked this under the assumption that it was the Best Western Raffles. You (we) were right again! Our stay is 11/25-11/28, and we scored a reservation at $44/night. After purchasing, I did confirm that this property charges an additional "resort fee" of $12.81 a night. It seems that staying anywhere near Disneyland will incur a similar fee. I wish they would just include it in the price, though. Based on reviews at Hotwire and Trip Advisor, I think this will be a nice stay for the price. Thanks!

Looking for a quick and inexpensive Disneyland-area property for 11/25-11/28. Based on the amenities below and a price of $44/night, I'm guessing this is going to be the Best Western Raffles. Thoughts? Seems like a great price too. Free Breakfast Free Internet Smoke Free Rooms Fitness Center Pool(s) Business Center Laundry Facilities (self-service) High-Speed Internet Access In-room accessibility Also features an 85% Hotwire review recommendation. Of course I used the Better Bidding HOTWIRE links to search!

We're locals too (Avondale). On your past trips have you been able to receive any upgrades? I don't want to be greedy after finding a great rate, but I'm interested in maximizing our experience at a minimized cost :). Any advice on this front? ~Michael

Ahhhhhhhh! I just booked it at $101 last night! That just kills me. And for anyone's interest, the 48-hour price match guarantee that Hotwire offers is not valid with other Hotwire rates. I tried to call and see if they would switch it for me, but they refused (nicely, but refused nonetheless). Now I'm going to toss and turn all night, stewing over this. :) Nah, $101 is still a bargain.

Just scored the Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort (Gainey Ranch) for a quick anniversary trip.

Used the BB link to search and book. Thanks!

I know that you cannot see the future, but I saw the Hyatt Gainey Ranch for $101 for the night of my anniversary and I'm wondering what the chances are of seeing it fall further. The only other winning bid I saw for this property was in December 14, 2010 for $84. Used the BB HOTWIRE link to check. Thanks!

For what it's worth, I booked this same hotel on Hotwire yesterday, and in my research I found that the website for the Holiday Inn Hotels of Anaheim show one of their amenities as having "No Resort Fees". This could be something to bring up when you check in. See: http://www.hianaheimresort.com/ and look at the bulleted list in the middle of the page. Hope this helps.

Pretty good deal considering the other prices I was watching. Uses this forum HOTWIRE link to purchase. Sweet.

Anyone know why the end of August at the Hyatt went for around $50/night and October is $20+ more? I think there is an AARP Convention that weekend. Is that a big deal? Also, anyone know if the Holiday Inn Anaheim Resort a nice hotel? I have a hard time believing that it is in the same rating category as the Hyatt. :) Thanks for the site. This was fun. I'll be sure to check back again.
