I'm looking for help IDing a 3* Lake Buena Vista Orlando hotel

Dates: 10/25-10/27/2013

Price:$48 (listed as regularly $109)

85% recommend

Here are the amenities

Free parking

Free breakfast

Free internet

Fitness Center

Business Center

Internet Access

Also, a question: I will be car-less, and will need to get to a meeting at the Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel (at 1500 Epcot Resort Boulevard). I gather that many hotels in the Lake Buena Vista area have shuttle busses to the Disney parks. If it doesn't or if the shuttle doesn't go anywhere nearby, how hard is it to get a cab in this area?

Thanks,

Kstrom

Like always, I use BB links for searches and purchases.

I believe there are more amenities then what you have posted above as HOTWIRE has a new interface that does not show the complete set of amenities unless you click thru a few extra links.

If you repeat your search using our BiddingHelper.com tool, and then click the HOTWIRE EASY VIEW tab, do you see more amenities then what you have listed above? This is what i'm seeing for the 3* hotel in this zone:

Free Parking

Complimentary Breakfast

Free Internet

Fitness

Pool

Business

Hi-Speed Internet

Blind Accessible

Deaf Accessible

Travel Accessible

Room Accessible

Bathroom Accessible

Handicapped Parking

Roll-in Shower

... if you're seeing this complete list of amenities my best guess for this one would be the Holiday Inn Express - Lake Buena Vista East.

I can't say how easy it is to get a taxi in this area, and perhaps somebody else can comment further, but i have to assume it would be fairly easy since this is a tourist oriented area which would have an ample supply of taxis to serve hotel guests. The hotel can always call a taxi for you and you can probably even arrange it the night before so that the taxi is waiting for you in the morning at whatever time you choose.

Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

Yes, when I used your cool tool, I got the same list of amenities as you list. I called the hotel, and the shuttles start too late and cab is $30 for 6 miles .... Not sure what to do. Kstrom

Access to a taxi should be easy... but it being within budget is another story.

Could you take the shuttle back at the end of the day (and therefore only have to pay cab fare one-way?
