Hotwire Hotel: help with 5* Orlando WDW - Bonnet Creek area

[betterpizza]

Hi,

 

Short-term lurker, first time poster. Just got into Hotwire/Priceline over the last couple of weeks with assistance reading these boards. (Thanks to all of the lovely people running this site!) I have actually booked awesome WDW hotels already using HW!

 

Anyway. Onto this one, from Hotwire. 

 

5*, Orlando, FL, 8/24-8/25 2017, $156 USD/night, searching for 2 adults, and here is the full list of amenities using biddinghelper:

FULL AMENITIES: Resort, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Self-service laundry, Internet access, Golf nearby, Spa services, Children's activities, Accessible for visually impaired, Accessible for hearing impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking, Roll-in shower

 

This is the "short" list just on HW's booking page: 

Business center Fitness center Golf nearby Internet access Pool(s) Resort Restaurant(s) Self-service laundry Smoke-free rooms

 

I thought based on info on this site (and a little bit of outside research) that this might be the Waldorf Astoria Orlando.

 

However, when I go to book it reminds me of the $30 daily resort fee -- on Waldorf's website the resort fee is stated as $35, and when doing a transparent search for hotels on Hotwire, I can see Waldorf listed with a $35 resort fee. On other sites, too, the resort fee is $35.

 

Also, I have read from past visitors that Waldorf doesn't have self-service laundry, but it is listed as an amenity.

 

Thoughts??? What else could this be in that area? TIA.

Welcome to Betterbidding!

 

Thank you for the compliments on the site, they are greatly appreciated. 

 

I'm seeing:

 

5* Walt Disney World - Bonnet Creek for $156.00
Resort
Smoke Free
Fitness
Pool
Restaurant
Business
Laundry
Hi-Speed Internet
Golf
Spa
Childrens Activities
Blind Accessible
Deaf Accessible
Travel Accessible
Room Accessible
Bathroom Accessible
Handicapped Parking
Roll-in Shower
==> My guess would be the Waldorf. HOTWIRE shows an approximate resort fee and "self-service laundry" on HOTWIRE covers general laundry services.

Would this possible property be of interest? If not, let us know more about what you are looking for and we would be happy to research and offer other suggestions.

Thank you! 

 

I might wait a few days to book. If WDW'S POFQ, YC, or CSR drop prices on HW for that night, I think I might book one of those instead.

 

Thanks again!
