Hotwire Hotel: Need Help Identifying 5* Universal Orlando - I-drive North

[Cupper]

Hi Guys. I could really use some help identifying this 5* star hotel in Universal Orlando - I-drive North area.

For the dates of Jan 26-28, it shows up for $276 and with the following amenities:

Fitness Center

Pool(s)

Restaurant(s)

Business Center

Golf Nearby

Tennis Nearby

Spa Services

Children's Activity Program

I looked up the Hotwire list at the top of the thread, but couldn't find a 5* rated hotel in the Universal Orlando - I-drive North area.

Thank you!

Please click this HOTWIRE link and reply to this thread, we'll then have a look at the offer above.

Are you willing to spend $275/nite for this stay?

[Cupper]

Ooops, I didn't know about the searches, will do so from now on.

Yes, I'm willing to spend $275 if it's the Universal Portofino Bay hotel!

The Loews Portofino Bay, upgraded from the 4.5* level since last reported to the board, would be my best guess. This porperty was last reported to the board in March, so there has certainly been enough time for an upgrade to take place, but of course i can't say for certain, although it would be my best guess.

Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

Thank you! The $275 rate is a little exorbitant, but unfortunately with the Harry Potter crowds, Universal has started gouging its customers.

I will update the board as soon as I make a successful booking!

Hi guys,

Just wanted to give an update. The dates for our plans changed and we were instead going to book the same hotel for Jan 1-3. Unfortunately when I went to purchase it earlier today, the hotel had sold out. I snoozed and lost it seems.

If it goes back up for those dates and I'm able to purchase it (using the HOTWIRE link), I will update the thread.

Thanks again for the help!
