The 3.5* is going for $64 a night and the 3* is going for $59. I was thinking embassy for the 3.5* but there is no restaurant listed in the amenities. Also, what is the likelyhood of being able to request a single king bed instead of 2 doubles for a hotel through priceline (June 10th, not a busy night).

Thanks!

xthetigerx - welcome to BetterBidding!

Can you please post your date(s) for your HOTWIRE stay.

Most hotels are willing to help you with your request for beds. I allways call when I have the hotel confirmed, and most of the times is there no problem. But some hotel have "Priceline rooms" and you're stuck with the room/bed(s) they give you.

Henrik.

This is for one night, checking in June 10th checking out june 11th.

Please doublecheck the HOTWIRE amenities... does the 3.5* hotel also have a Restaurant icon associated with it?

[xthetigerx]

No restaurant icon, I just re-checked. Also, its now up to $69 for the 3.5* the 3 star is still $59.

There is now a 2.5* (also near MCO) that offers

Suite

Airport Shuttle

Complimentary Breakfast

Fitness Center

Pool(s)

Laundry Facilities

High-speed Internet Access

and I can't find a match in the florida - hotwire list, any ideas for any of these?

[thereuare]

The hotels above have not yet been identified.

The 2.5* may be the Amerisuites Northwest as it has been appearing frequently on Priceline lately. Not sure of the 3* or the 3.5*, but the 3.5* has a very high Tripadvisor rating and for $5 more i would definately go with that one versus the 3* property.

Let us know what you decide or if we can be of further help.

Hey,

Thanks for all the help so far. I'm still waffling between the 2.5 and 3.5*. The 3.5* is now down to $66. Should I wait more for it to go down even farther? How did you get the tripadvisor rating for the 3.5*?

I'm trying to click through your HOTWIRE link, but it just redirects me to http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?...e=3&subid=0 and stalls out, is there something I can do to make it work? I want to help you guys out if I can.

Regarding the link, see the message i sent you.

As far as prices going up or down, see the related link in our PRICELINE FAQ regarding "bidding early or close to check-in"

The Tripadvisor rating can sometimes be seen when you click "continue" (and then near the bottom of the page)... but i don't see it now, so it is possible i saw it for a different property since i did search a variety of dates trying to help ID this property. (edit: i think this is the case as you can see the 3.5* property shows the TripAdvisor rating for the dates of 6/10-6/12... which is close, but not a match, to the same property you're seeing above. Sorry for any confusion)
