dkbustr Posted January 14, 2014 Report Posted January 14, 2014 New to the Board here, and in advance, thanks for any help you might be able to give. PRICELINE EXPRESS has a deal for Universal Orlando, Intl Drive North area for July 27-31 for $266 a night for 4 1/2 star property. Amenities are Free internet in public areas, outdoor pool, pets, restaurant, business center, fitness center. When I look at PRICELINE hotels for this zone, there are no previous 4 1/2 star properties listed. I am looking to stay on Universal property to take advantage of the express passes included. Standard rates would lead me to believe that this may be the Loews Portofino Bay hotel onsite. What also leads me to believe this may be the case is that there are listings for room types available... the $266 is a garden view, but they have bay views and deluxe room categories also listed for higher prices. These categories also exist at this hotel on a standard listing. The listing also states save 15% or more, which from their standard rate would bring the price into the PRICELINE EXPRESS price range. I will use the link here to book once I decide on if this is the hotel I believe it to be. Thanks

dkbustr Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Posted February 16, 2014 Just getting back on this topic. I used the PRICELINE link here and bid today. Priceline had a 24 hour coupon for 10% off express bids which I applied also. The hotel was the Loews Portofino Bay as we guessed it would be. List price was $328 a night and after the coupon I got it for $242 a night which for on property hotel at Universal is a great deal since it includes express passes.Thanks for your help!
