Priceline Hotel: 3* Orlando (Airport MCO) Marriott at MCO

[tedo]

Hello,

I need a hotel near MCO for 1 night next Tuesday (March 8) and Hotwire came up with a 3.5 * hotel with the following 4 amenties: Restuarant, Pool, Fitness and Business Center. It is identified as a Customer Favorite and since no mention is made of a shuttle, I was hoping that this might by the Hyatt inside the airport, but that has been identified as having 5 amenities (these 4 plus Tennis) in the past and the Hyatt website states that the hotel is sold out for that night. Could it be the Hyatt or is it more likely the Sheraton Suites, even those these 4 amenties don't match up to those for the Sheraton either?

Thanks for any insight anyone might have.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Since both of the hotels you mention are last known to be 3.5* rated, and you're looking at a 4* hotel, the odds greatly favor it being neither of these properties.

Thanks for responding Theruare but not sure where you got the idea tha I was looking at a 4* hotel? The hotel that came up was a 3.5*near MCO for $70, so I figure that it is most likely the Sheraton Suites but was hoping for the Hyatt (not very likely). In any case, I decided not to risk it and gave Priceline a try for that night. Started bidding at $35 and ended up adding $5 for each free rebid until I was succesful at $55, getting the Marriott at MCO. An OK deal I guess, though I have seen 3* hotels come up at MCO for the $35 - $40 range pretty regularly, so it must be a busy week there (end of Daytona Bike week I think).

You're right... may bad. I remember typing that yesterday but don't know why i had it in my mind that it was a 4* you were talkinga about. Maybe i should stop multi-tasking! :)

Glad to hear you had success and appreciate you reporting your results.

Enjoy your stay.
