Babt723 Posted January 1, 2014 Author Report Posted January 1, 2014 Whoops put Priceline! I meant Hotwire - great start !!
thereuare Posted January 2, 2014 Report Posted January 2, 2014 Welcome to BetterBidding! (and congratulations on your upcoming nuptials )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.NOTE that to see the complete amenities associated with each you will need to do the following:1) search HOTWIRE and select the offer from the search results page2) click the BOOK NOW button3) in the TRIP SUMMARY BOX click the 'See more' link at the end of the amenitiesThis is what i'm seeing for each when using the method above to search for your dates:4* SeaWorld - I-Drive SouthSmoke Free Fitness Pool Restaurant Business Laundry Hi-Speed Internet Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower --> best guess for this one would be the Westin Orlando Universal Boulevard3.5* SeaWorld - I-Drive South--> i'm not seeing any property close to the amenities you listed above when searching for your dates. HOWEVER, with this 3.5* having a 70% recommendation from previous guests, and the 4* above being higher rated and showing a 4.5/5.0 TA rating, the 4* would appear to be the better/nice option for this nitePlease use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

Babt723 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Report Posted January 2, 2014 Thank you for your response and help - it is really appreciated. Also thank you for your congratulations.I had a look through the link you suggested and I think the 3.5 star one might be Allure Resort International Drive Orlando but like you said the reviews dont fill me with as much hope as the 4 star.Westin Orlando Universal Boulevard looks nice but is a bit further up than I had hoped - wanted the shortest walk possible after what may be a few drinks the night before!I might have a look at a few of the others - mainly to see if I can find one of the Hiltons - and if not I think it might be the Westin Orlando Universal Boulevard.Thanks again!
thereuare Posted January 2, 2014 Report Posted January 2, 2014 ...mainly to see if I can find one of the Hiltons...If you do end up booking direct, please check for and use the links in our Support Page where we have links to most of the major hotel chains and online booking agencies, including the Hilton.Also, you may want to search our sister site, MAPS and HOTELS.com, which will show you hotels near almost any address in the world and the interface makes it easy to see how much more/less it would cost to go up/down in star rating or to stay closer/further from your ideal location.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know whatever you decide to do for this stay or if we can be of further help.
