Welcome to BetterBidding! (and thanks for the compliments on the site )

 

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 search using the EASY VIEW TAB of our BiddingHelper.com tool. (always use this method for your searches/purchases to ensure you're seeing the complete amenity set and for an easy comparison of PRICELINE vs. HOTWIRE, as well as to use our new IS THIS A GOOD PRICE feature).

If you repeat your search using our BiddingHelper.com tool... use the HOTWIRE EASY VIEW tab and then click the GREEN BUTTON next to each of these listings, do you see more amenities (including any accessible amenities) then what you have listed above? Using this method, below is the full list of amenities i'm seeing for each:

 

3* HOTWIRE Universal Orlando Resort for $92.00
Complimentary Breakfast
Free Parking
Free Internet
Pet Friendly
Smoke Free
Fitness
Pool
Laundry
Hi-Speed Internet
Golf
Blind Accessible

Handicapped Parking
Roll-in Shower
==> Hyatt Place Orlando/Universal would be my best guess for this one

 

4* HOTWIRE Universal Orlando Resort for $135.00
Free Internet
Fitness
Pool
Restaurant
Business
Laundry
Hi-Speed Internet
Golf

==> not 100% certain but the DoubleTree by Hilton at the Entrance to Universal Orlando would be my guess here

 

Do either of the above work for your needs this trip?  If not, let us know more about what you're looking for and we will try to help you find something that meets your criteria... otherwise let us know which you decide and how it goes.

 

Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

 

Good luck!

Thanks for the quick reply! After looking at the reviews on TripAdvisor, I don't think either one would work.

 

I'm actually hoping to get something on site - any chance of either portofino bay or royal pacific or hard rock hotel popping up from now till then? My budget per night is about $200 to 250 for any of these. If not, I think I might just go with Cabana Bay

How about:

 

4* HOTWIRE Universal Orlando Resort for $141.00

==> from the Hotwire Hotel List this matches previous reports for Universal's Loews Sapphire Falls Resort

 

Would this work for your needs? (or please use our link for the Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort if that is the route you decide to take)
