Hotwire Hotel: 3* Orlando (Airport MCO) Hyatt Place Northwest

[bitguru]

I'm hoping to book a Hyatt Place in Orlando on 10/23/2010,

mostly because it's the only hotel I can find that verifiably has

HDTV (not just an HD-capable set, but an HD signal coming in).

Any Orlando location would be fine, but they seem to be all

booked up for 10/23/2010 except for the Airport location

(Hyatt Place Northwest, 5435 Forbest Place) and one so far

to the north that it shouldn't count as Orlando.

Looking at the "Pinned: Hotwire Hotel List - Florida" post is

confusing. Here's what it says:

3* Hyatt Place Northwest (5435 Forbest Place) 2.5* Amerisuites Northwest

Amenities: Shuttle, Complimentary Breakfast, Pool, Fitness, Hi-Speed Internet, Business

(possibly same as Hyatt Place Northeast)

OR

Amenities: Shuttle, Pool, Fitness, Hi-Speed Internet, Business

Did two hotels get mixed up there, or did the Amerisuites

Northwest close and reopen as Hyatt Place? I would normally

presume the latter, except then the "possibly same as Hyatt

Place Northeast" bit makes no sense.

Anyway, I used the site's HOTWIRE link and was presented with:

3* $48

Orlando Intl Airport MCO area hotel (0.2 - 3.0 mi from MCO)

[airport shuttle] [fitness center] [pool(s)] [business center] [high-speed internet]

Recommended in 95 % of Hotwire customer reviews

Since this does not list [complimentary breakfast] as an amenity,

may I presume this is not Hyatt Place?

GiddyUp booked the Hyatt Place Northwest (for December) for $49.

It showed as 95% recommended, but also Complimentary Breakfast.

(Hyatt Place Northwest, 5435 Forbest Place) and one so far

to the north that it shouldn't count as Orlando.

3* Hyatt Place Northwest (5435 Forbest Place) 2.5* Amerisuites Northwest

Amenities: Shuttle, Complimentary Breakfast, Pool, Fitness, Hi-Speed Internet, Business

(possibly same as Hyatt Place Northeast)

OR

Amenities: Shuttle, Pool, Fitness, Hi-Speed Internet, Business

The AmeriSuites has, for the most part, gone away and the brand sold to Hyatt, who re-opened most of the properties as 'Hyatt Place'. So the Amersuites is represented as a strike out so that users who may see threads listed as Amerisuites (when searching old threads on the board) will know that it has been changed to a Hyatt Place.

The part about "same as Hyatt Place Northeast" is that the Hyatt Place Northeast uses the same amenity combination as this porperty, so if you choose an offering with this amenity combination it could be either (or some other hotel not yet reported to the board)

3* $48

Orlando Intl Airport MCO area hotel (0.2 - 3.0 mi from MCO)

[airport shuttle] [fitness center] [pool(s)] [business center] [high-speed internet]

Some hotels use multiple set(s) of amenity icons to describe their property, and this combination matches the second set of amenities for this property. HOWEVER, in addition to the Hyatt Place, this amenity combination also matches the Best Western Airport Inn, Holiday Inn Select Airport, and the Wingate Inn, so any of these would be likely candidates for this one.

Hope the above explains things a bit.

Thanks for the clarification. For some reason my brain didn't

realize that Northwest and Northeast aren't the same word.

Now I must ponder whether to try for Hyatt Place or go with

some lower-end (no HDTV) places I know about for $30-35.

Today a 3* showed up with [complimentary breakfast] but

otherwise the same, so I booked it for $49 + $12 in fees.

It was indeed the Hyatt Place Orlando Airport Northwest.

check in 10/23/2010, check out 10/24/2010
