A 3* property with this amenity combination has not yet been reported to the board, my guess is that this is a previously reported property with a new set of amenity icons or star rating.

The DoubleTree Hotel at the Entrance to Universal Orlando has previously been seen with this amenity combination but at the 3* level (last reported to the board via HOTWIRE March '09) so my guess is that this property may have been downgraded since then and is the property offered above... but i'm far from certain (especially given that the current TA rating of the Doubletree is 3.5/5.0 and this HOTWIRE offering shows 4.0/5.0... but this still doesn't exclude the Doubletree since the HOTWIRE TA info is not updated in real time... but does cast a shadow of doubt over this ID)

Since this an extended stay you could see if this same property is offered for the first (or last) nite of your stay and then again for the balance. If so, you could purchase the solo nite in order to "look behind the curtain". If you're happy with the results purchase the remaining nites, if not, make alternate plans for the balance of your stay.
