Hotwire Hotel: 4* Universal Orlando - I-drive North

[Msukc]

I used the BiddingHelper.com.  2 adults 2 kids (6 and 10).  This is what I got when narrowed to 4* and Universal Area.  Is this an onsite Universal?  If it is and I book, I believe I can add 2 kids to reservation?

4* Orlando July 1st to 4th (Priceline express)

Thanks.

Trying to get on site Universal deal for express passes.  I see these 4* hotels.  Any idea on each of these hotels?  I suspect one is the hard rock or royal pacific....

You can close this one.  I would like to open again to see if I can get a response to these.  I think this one appears complicated....or something.  Thanks!

How many adults/children are you including in your search?

 

What is your maximum budget for a hotel this trip? (per nite before fees/taxes)

2 adults 2 kids; 6 and 10.  Not sure of a max budget. But I have already reserved royal pacific resort club level for about $500 per night.  7/2 and 7/3 nights only.  Check in 7/2 and checkout 7/4. 

 

If I can get a much better price, I can cancel the reservation.  I know it will be busy that weekend and wanted to make sure I at least have an on site hotel with express pass booked. 

 

Thx.

The on-site properties are not seen very often, and when they are, it's usually during slower periods, not during peak times (when the hotels don't need to offer any deep discounts in an effort to fill rooms... they can full rooms at top prices, as evidenced by your $500/nite back-up reservation)

I don't think either of the above is on-site.  You can get a good deal for these dates thru PRICELINE or HOTWIRE for a hotel in this zone, but if on-site is a must-have (vs. a want), i think you're going to need to book direct.

 

For example, i believe you could book the Crowne Plaza for less than $100/nite, so it becomes a question if the on-site benefits are worth $400+ per nite (which seems like it could buy a lot of souvenirs and other activities to make this a memorable trip)

Let us know what you ultimately decide to do for this stay, or if staying offsite is an option, how we can be of further help.

Thanks for the feedback. Two nights for 500 per night, while expensive, provides three days of express passes at Royal pacific.  And room is club level so we can probably have a meal a day and save some money and add some convenience.  Can walk to the park too.  

 

I am going to stick with direct reservations. So you can close this one out. 

 

Until my next BBpost...

 

Thanks again.
