It does have Roll-in shower on the list of amenities...must have missed it when I did the cut and paste. It doesn't advertise Free Internet...but the resort fee includes the internet connection and connection is great. Our room is right on the marina and we added an additional night at the front desk. We are on the second floor - stairs only but we had no problem with that. Very pleased with the hotel, its two restaurants, two pools and great location. We saw the fireworks from Sea World both nights at 9:50pm. There is a $20 parking fee and a $9 resort fee - per night....but still a great rate and VERY nice helpful employees at the front desk and at Firefly's - on-site restaurant where we ate tonight. The resort fee is listed for: SeaWorld shuttle, wifi, fitness center, free local phone calls, 6 regular coffee Keurig k-cups, boarding pass printing services, USA Today newspaper at front desk and $150 book of coupons (mostly on-site deals - restaurants, rental boats, etc.) We were able to get a King bed room as requested and there is a mini-fridge, microwave, double sinks and nicely tiled bathroom. The a/c seems to be on a "sensor"...only comes on when there is activity in the room so it was a bit stuffy/warm when we first arrived but cooled down fine for us.

The hotel worked out great for us. Nice restaurant with wonderful staff right there for our late dinner after check-in at 10pm. We had spent the day at the Sand Wash Basin photographing over one hundred wild horses! Great adventure in Colorado! Looking forward to the next trip :-)

Won on my first bid...perhaps I should have tried less?! But Hotwire rooms for that night just shot up to $93 and no time to waste!

Said Recommended in 95% Hotwire Customer reviews...now it says "gathering reviews" and the price went to $81. Probably could have tried Priceline for a little less but I'm very happy with results and the "stress" of the "gamble" is over!
Of course I used your HOTWIRE link!
Started bidding last night for 3* @ $45....rejected but they "offered" one if I raised it to $55....I waited 24hours and just put in $50....happy with the deal!

Tried $57 for "resort" in Hilton Head last night then $70 tonight which was also rejected but then they let me rebid...writing we usually don't do this...but if you up your price by $12 to $82 I could rebid immediately (not have to wait the usual 24 hours) without changing my search area or star rating request.
Total of $101.73 ($82 + $10.08 taxes + $9.65 fees)
Not a huge discount (lists at $114 on their website...but a discount nonetheless...so I'll take it!)

Started at $55...kept increasing bid every 24 hours until this morning (third day) got it at $67 (plus $15.01 taxes & fees) for $82.01 Total. Tripadvisor has it as #1 hotel with positive recent comments! And it's a suite - so lots of room! Looks great! Thanks!

Using your PRICELINE link I just got the Doubletree on my first bid of $45. Since heading there tomorrow didn't want to risk going lower and not being allowed to rebid as it is the only star rating/area we want to stop on our way home! Great site! Continue the great work!
First attempt this evening...got my first bid at $50....should have tried less?!! Still learning but love this site! Keep up the good work! Never been to this hotel...hope it's not snowed in like the rest of DC!
Used your PRICELINE Link...
Thanks again :)
Had to increase price and areas searched...but quite pleased with price. Never stayed at this hotel but looking forward to the trip!

Thanks again for this site!! Much to learn!
First time PRICELINE bid...been using HOTWIRE for years but price just wasn't coming down enough for me!
Didn't want to be greedy and don't really understand the "re-bid" process so I just went for it at $59 and got the Marriott which with taxes/fees will be $72.81 which is still much better than their "listed" price of $259! Whoever actually pays those prices is crazy!
Thanks for this website...I consult it every trip! I used your PRICELINE Link too...don't know how that works either but if it helps keep you up and running I'm all for it!!
We went for it...though instead of booking for 5 days at $109 or $114 (it changed while I was looking it up!) we ended up booking it for 2 nights...got here and liked it and then booked another 2 nights thru Hotwire (was $119). It's the Lake Buena Vista Resort Village & Spa located right next to the Lake Buena Vista Outlets on SR-535. It's still under construction - just one small pool but it worked out for us. We were in Building 3 - very new CLEAN condo unit! Nice big jacuzzi in the master bedroom, washer/dryer unit in unit, covered parking, PLENTY of room! Ask for internet "cable" upon check-in. Very convenient for all the activities we did this week! Thanks for this website! We Hotwired a 4* in Lake Buena Vista for Sat & Sunday night ($89) and ended up staying at the Buena Vista Palace - just as this website "projected"!! It was great!
Thank you for trying! I'll let you know if we go for it!!!
