  1. I stayed for 2 nights recently after receiving this hotel for $24/night on a PriceLine bid. After adding the $3.50/night resort fee, taxes and other PriceLine fees... total was closer to $35/night. AMENITIES: Coffee, condiments, and coffee maker, hair dryer, safe, refrigerator, free local calls, iron and ironing board, 2-line phone for using computer Good: Front Desk and Maintenance was very friendly and promptly responded to my requests. Bad: Front Desk Timeshare sales person wanted too much personal info, even after I told her I was a FL resident and had an annual pass. So, unless she was selling a DVC timeshare tour for free tickets I was not interested. But, HAVE A NICE DAY! Good: Room smelled clean, not moldy. I had plenty of clean towels, washclothes, etc.. Bad: Carpet had large stain near door. Bathroom ceiling had peeling paint over tub from painting over mildew. Light bulb was burned out on side table. *(Maintenance replaced.) Good: Room included hair dryer and coffee maker. Bad: GFI outlet for hair dryer and coffee maker was blown and would not reset. *(Maintenance replaced.) Good: Room was on first floor and parking space was available just outside door. Bad: Door latch was broken in half and had to be replaced by Maintenance. Good: Front Desk man called to inquire after each incident if things had been repaired to my satisfaction. Bad: Had to call Front Desk to unlock phone privledges after I had paid my $3.50/night resort fee which allowed free unlimited local calls and 1-800 calls. (*He tried to tell me WDW was long distance at first! LOL!) Good: Comfort of bed, temperature of room, quality of color TV, water pressure and plenty of hot water! Also, excellent location for getting to WDW! VERY GOOD: PRICE THROUGH PRICELINE! I would have cried if I had spent $70/night at this hotel!
  2. I took this train of thinking when I made my successful bid of $69/night at the Dolphin for 18-25 July 2004. However, Hotwire was coming up almost $30/night more for the Dolphin's amenitiesss... I took a calculated risk and was granted my wish after holding my breath until it came through! Thanks to God for my guardian angel who must have been sitting on my shoulder! :)
  3. Thanks to you both for your replies! *Yes, I knew there is a $10 resort fee. (Appreciate you posting about that, because sometimes you just don't know about that until you get there!) Speaking of which, I wanted to go last minute and used PriceLine (again through savingsbarn.com) and got the LaQuinta Lakeside in Kissimmee for $24 per night. But, surprise, surprise... they added on a $3.50 per night resort fee (and they are only a 2* hotel!!) :) *Here's hoping you get lucky when you try again for the Dolphin!! :)
