I got a good deal. I'll share about your BB. with my extended family. They all travel a lot.

Thanks for respondind. Yes Columbia Harbison property also shows a fitness cntr icon. Also from Yale rd.

We saw was close to our destination in other sites $90-100/night for Comfort inn. Maybe this is the one or Hyatt I saw a only win in Harbison.

I just retturned back from one nite @ Holiday Inn Sunspree resort in LBV . First dont confuse this with the LBV. Street like I did. This is in LBV. area or city which is not a good location in that close sourranding.Five min drive from there are LBV. Resort area. I got what I most feared: A VERY DIRTY HOTEL. One could see the dirt and gather it by hand. Specially the Hallwayes were horribel . I was trying to skip and jump no to step on the the dirt.Rooms with broken or missing things .Hallways were filthy. I dreaded to even walk.I felt bad I this this to my kids, even though I told them that hotel might not be as clean. I didnt know the scoop of it. It was dark and we were tired to look around for another place. Pool was not clean either. And the list goes on. With all due respect to a very good maneger whom I saw him working hard and running everywhere , I felt bad for him. I MUST SAY THOUGH : I WOULD NOT STAY THERE EVEN IF SOMEBODY PAID ME TO STAY THERE. Sheets were clean. Since it was one night we stayed and left as soon as we could. The girl at the desk ignored us left us wating with 2 tired children till the manager came back. He noticed us when we arrived and he was dissapointed and surprised to find us still waiting. He asked her why she didnt call us yet and called us at once. She was very unpleasant and unhappy to be there. At my kind request if we could have a renowated room,angerly murmered something. I wondered why did I even asked her, since it was obious what response one could get from an angry person who just was questioned for ignoring the guest. The only good thing is : The manager seemed a very good person.Trying to be everywhere and take care of everything. I DEEPLY BELIEVE NO HOTEL SHOULD OPERATE UNDER THOSE NON HYGENIC CONDITIONS AND SHOULD REALY BE CLOSEDTO THE PUBLIC. StREET 535 you get into from the hotel was jammed. Trafic was bumper to bumper going towards dawntown Disney where a lot of restourants are. We hardly managed to make a U turn to escape the trafic. We dinned @ Smokey Bones very good food and service. A little pricy though.

3* Holiday Inn Sunspree-LBV,Orlando via PRICELINE. July 16 /10. After failing twice. I started bid @ $30 adding $2in each rebid . Started with Celebration ,than adding LBV, S.W. Universal. At $36 was offered to raise my bid by $10. Decline. Added Kissimee and raised my bid to $40 and won. I am happy with the location. I hope the room will be good enough too. Of course I used the PRICELINE link from the board. Thank you to all you WONDERFUL people on the Board. Specially a Big Thanks to You THereau. You are GREAT. Inspite of me needing to know some basic ABC's, You patiently anwered my many emails Professionally. Thank you very much again.

I am sorry. I thought I was on right truck. I am lost again. Where do I take it from here? Those 3 zones (SW = universal =LBV.) it looks those are not rebid zones. What zones are "b". What zones can I rebid on? Haw do I figure that out? I am willing I would like to try and learn. I am afraid I am going ovrboard I am bothering you too much. Or maybe I should just give up and go with HOTWIRE?

Exusmee!!! I should have figured that out. Well tonight I tryed again. Started 3* @ $28 Sea World + Universal-rejected Than @ $30 SW+ Universal + LBV.-rejected Than@ $32 SW. + Universal +LBV.- + Dawntown Orlando- rejected. I hope I did it the right way this time. Or was there a way to go on bidding more tonight? It looks that I have to wait 24 hours for my next bid. If I dont get it tomorow I'll have to go wit HOTWIRE instead. Thanks for your constant help.

So I need to add a rebid zone ? Lets say my next zone is Universal. And do I need to increase the price each time make sense I guess. And if rejetdet lets say Universal 3* @28 than on rebid I add LBV. 3* @30 if rejected I close the browser to start again. I must have drow you crazy long ago . Thanks for putting up with me ignorant "dummy". Your patient is well apriciated.

I started my bid as directed Seaworld 3*@$25. Rejected. Than I changed the price to $28. It states: "Pl. verify the following info to continue your request. Pl. Change one part of your original request." What am I missing here. Is there a 'Rebid "link I should click on. Or what are they asking me to do? I even tried to change the price to $30 I got the same statment. How should I procced

Thanks for very patiently trying to be helpful. I wish I did a better job in keeping my thoughts clearer in fewwer words. I am temted to just give up and purchase somewhere ellse for $49 deal. After all this hard work you have done the smallest reward for you would be that I keep up till the end. I am hopping it will pay off with a good surprise. My dates July 16-17. 3* and the more the better hotel. Biiding price maximum $40. First choice zone: Seaworld-International Dr.-Convention center. I am hopping for Radison) Second choice zone: Universal Orlando Resort Area -International Dr. North Third choice zone: Lake Buena Vista Dawntown Disney Please could you help me with a biiding strategy. I would realy like to try tonight if I get some help haw to go about. Thanks.

Thanks. Oops !I should have write under "add reply" instead of "New Topic". Lowest price is not my priority but I want to feel safte and secure. We might be arriving late @ night. Maybe in a 4*I would most likely be safer. But I wouldn't want to spent more in a 4* for this if I can find a 3* hotel in a good area. I thought customer rewiew could be a good hint for this. In this light which area would be my best bid for a 3*hotel? Or should I just go for a 4*. I would not realy want to spent $60 if I can find something good enough for $50. I get it that Hotwire has an educated guess. I am curious and I wanted to try priceline just for fun. Could you help me with a strategy what area should I bid , star level and price. I hope this is not more confusing than the last one. I also would like to avoid paying parking fee &resort fee. Maybe to find what I am lloking for this fees are anavoidible. Thanks.

I am concerned I may be ruuning out of time .Sorry to bother you again.Could you ID. Sea worl I dr. South 3* @$43. Amnemities complimentary breakfeast, fittnes cntr. pools bussiness cntr. loundry internet 90% c. rew. I am impresed with high rating.

For 3* up to $40. The same zones. Any advice different way of approch on biding I will wellcome since I am the begginer and you are the expert.

I tried two ways Orlando: Orlando and LBV. I get the same results in both ceases. I guess thats part of bussines game to get the customer to look in their homepage site. P.s. Did you get my question and my plan about priceline? I am exited and wandering if I will get stucked or will I know to click the right buttons and to preeced.

It says: Hotel rates in LBV have dropped. Recently you found a 1 night stay@ LBV hotel from july 16-17 for$144. We just spotted a lower price. (it shows $59 4* LBV hotel frid july 16-17. 3.5* LBV price is $59

Doubletree Castle hotel I saw on Travelzoo for $49/nite. I also got in my inbox $59 for LBVfor july 16 Dawntown Disney. When I went to HOTWIRE I didnt see it there. There was a $59 Dawntown D. 3.5* could that be LBV? I will wait for you response and than I will proceed. Thanks

Thanks for you dedication and hard work even for little things as this. I am doing my homework and definitely want to book with your links. I ll keep you updated . Thanks.

Hi Thereuare. Thanks for coming to my rescue. Yes you are right .LBV. 2.5* has bussiness cnter too. Also is 75% rec c. rew. not 80 %. I would take one that is cleaner regardless of * or rate or location since is only one night. I saw one with brakfeast sign 3* $35 in celebration is not appearing the brakfeast icon any more. I wonder if that is still the same. I am so happy you helped me out I can finally move on. My last question is if this two hotel are not appealing to me what are my chances of going w/priceline. I saw in the calendar of wins Radison for $29-32 range. I would be wery happy with Radison. I went before and is very clean. Thanks again.

Hi yellowdog. I purchased Buena Vista Palace on HOTWIRE 3/30-4/1 /10. $83/night. I did post than when I booked it. So I closed up my thread.I saw it posted than. Forgive that I do not know haw to follow up. I was trying to locate it and I cant find my old posts exept welcome one. That was one of my questions as you saw I posted my topic in a wrong spot. So where can I locate my new topic or reply link and conect it to my other old post. I feel horrible for being so ignorant and I am grateful for this site and your help.

We booked a stay @ Parc Soleli for July 17-20. Didnt have avabiality for Friday july 16. We are two adults 2 children. We are just looking for a nice clean hotel just to sleep one night. I would greatly appreciate if you could help me to ID these 2 hotels for july16. 1) 2.5* $39 LBV. Dawntow Disney. Amnimities: Smoke free fitness cntr. pools restourants loundry H. speed internet Rec. 80% c. rew. 2) 3 * $35 Disney maingate Celebration hotel. Amenities: Smoke free Fitness cntr. pool bussiness cntr Loundry H. speed Internet. Rec.70 % C. rew. Hopefully to spent no more than $40. I tend to belive that a hotel could be clean and better kept in LBV @ 2.5 * than 3* @ Celebration. I rater spent $10-20 for a nicer (clean) place Do you think I could have better chances w/priceline? P.S . As you see I could find the link Post a new topic. Where do I go to get the link. Thanks. I wish you could just respond and not post this part of the question. Thanks any advice woul be great

hI Thereuarie. I am drita8. I booked on hotwire LBV Palace 4* I am trying to be helpful and let you know that when I booked it shows "Spa" as amnimitie. Which it doesnt show in this cease. Resort fee is $15. I hope this helps. I am just a starter and you are the expert. You could still be right. Thanks Drita8

I got an offer 4.5* $194. when I try to see the hotel. That particular offer and hotel does not come up. I only get a list of other hotel choices. Why cant I get that specific hotel offer? Are there particular travel dates that I need to put for that offer? Thanks. Drita8 :)

I checked that it is in display mode and standard. I dont want to waste your preciou time with this. I might ask a friend or even my 9 yr. boy might be able to figure this out. Ha..Ha... Thanks. Drita8

We booked Hilton in WDW. Is in the same aerea with LBV Palace that I got so we could be in close distance w/ family. My brother was offered some credit from previous stays with points from Amerian Express card. We had to book directly w/hotel to redeem the points. I wished I booked through your links as you well deserve to get credit for you exellent dedication in helping me with my many questions. I am hoping too book that Sheraton Vistana Village for our summer vacation through your links. I enjoyed your helpfullnes and I'll be back again. Meanwhile I'll have fun folowing the new Posts and your answers, and have a better educated disposition for future bookings. Respectfully thanks. Drita8
