232271 Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 we just tried for the same dates in july and we went to $85 and got nada, nothing, zilch , zero!!!boo hoo hoo :) did you know there is a $10 resort fee? Link to post
Diz Posted February 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Thanks to you both for your replies! *Yes, I knew there is a $10 resort fee. (Appreciate you posting about that, because sometimes you just don't know about that until you get there!) Speaking of which, I wanted to go last minute and used PriceLine (again through savingsbarn.com) and got the LaQuinta Lakeside in Kissimmee for $24 per night. But, surprise, surprise... they added on a $3.50 per night resort fee (and they are only a 2* hotel!!) :) *Here's hoping you get lucky when you try again for the Dolphin!! :) Link to post
thereuare Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Diz,Thanks for adding the additional info, but please add the La Quinta info as a new post so that others scanning the boards will find another thread about this hotel. As it stands now, it would be somewhat 'hidden' in the Dolphin thread.I feel that Resort Fees are just another way to inflate prices and keep their 'top line' prices appear to be lower than they actually are. If it's a mandatory charge, it should be included in the price from the onset! I find it unbelievable that some hotels still get away with charging an energy surcharge... there hasn't been an energy shortage, which is what started these surcharges, in years.... and thank you very much for the support.

picantel Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 when I check into la quinta(we call it la sh*ta) last november the first thing they did was try to sell me a timeshare. I was so disgusted it ruinned my entire day at disney. Link to post
chpcruzr Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Be careful, I followed the exact same bid pattern hoping for the Dolphin and hit the Wyndam Palace Resort and Spa at $69/Night for 5/7/04-5/9/04. I'm happy with the Wyndam but anyone with their heart set on the Dolphin should stick with Hotwire. Link to post
