Priceline Hotel: 3* Orlando (WDW) Radisson Worldgate

[Wahoo]

Unfortunately, I don't remember my bid attempts for this hotel. I booked the Radisson at $52 per night without taxes and resort fees. My total with resort fees ended up being $201 or $67 per night.

The hotel has a number of issues with security and upkeep. Outside locks are inoperable in both wings of the hotel. Priceline customers receive low end beds without the Select Comfort options. I ended up asking for a room change on account of the internet connection. This little request ended up scoring me a room with the Select comfort beds. I also got hammered with a resort fee of $8 per day. The list of things resort fees covered were a joke (Self Parking, Heated Pool, etc.). Overall, I'd never knowingly choose to stay with this resort.

resort fees at a 3* like the Radisson are an annoyance, the hotel should just raise the price of the room instead. I believe that HOTWIRE has begun to disclose resort fees on some properties. But, at least you got a sleep number bed, right!

thanks for your post!

I totally agree with you on the subject of resort fees. Thanks for the info on HOTWIRE. I haven't attempted that service yet. My pricelne experiences have gradually got worse and leave wondering what to do as an alternative. Thanks for the heads up.

YIKES .. I just scored this place for $50 a night thinking I just hit the lottery. Now that I read this I am worried. I don't plan on spending much time in the hotel but I certainly don't want to sleep in a s-hole. Is there anyway out of this once Priceline has charged my card? What would be suggested in an effort to get the best I can out of the experience if I am stuck there?

Thanks.
