Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Orlando (Universal Orlando Resort Area - Intl. Drive North) Extended Stay America - Orlando Theme Parks - Vineland Rd.

Had a go on regular PL.

 

Bid $30  

Bid $33  added expensive Disney w/o 2.5*

Bid $37  added Ocoee 

 

Decided to not risk $16 more ($39 bid) to not get the Hotel that I knew this was. They even tell you on good ole PL that the property will have a pool, which in this zone, is all of the properties except for the other ExtStay (which is 2.0*) and the other properties are all 3*+ as of today. 

 

amenities: Free Internet, Free Parking, Free Breakfast   <---no mention of pool on PRICELINE EXPRESS

 

Thanks BB, I hope I used your link; I was crazy clicking multiple tabs to drill down to this hotel.

 

edit: this is Universal Orlando Resort Area minus I-Drive North

Congratulations on your success!

Glad to see you received the hotel you were hoping for and that you're pleased with the outcome, especially since this is an extended stay.

Thank you for using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your purchase and sharing your win, helping us update the Priceline Express Hotel List with the new star rating and amenity set for this property.

Enjoy your stay.

Too excited when I posted so some clarification:

 

Hotel deal was originally a PRICELINE EXPRESS Deal - 2.5* Hotel in Universal Orlando Resort area with the aforementioned amenities for $41

After some site checking, price match ups, and previous winning bids, I was 99% certain this was the property I wanted.

I'm cheap and I've won some killer deals for the Hotels I've wanted using bidding site info so I decided to try for a lower price on this property using NYOP.

The $16 in the OP refers to an 8 day stay and a bid increase of $2 - I couldn't risk it; (savings vs desired area/hotel), so I took the $41 express deal.

Thanks for the additional info (although i did follow it all in your original post, perhaps others reading this thread in the future will have a better understanding)

 

Happy Holidays.
