Welcome to BetterBidding!

What type of hotels do you typically stay in and what is your budget for this stay? It is rare that a user is seriously considering both a 2.5* at $39 and a 4* at $99 given the price and quality rating difference.

Thanks for the reply, am new to this site as well as Hotwire. I'm not sure how "discounted" the rates are on hotwire. I usually stay at 3* hotels. I asked for help ID'ing the "Best Value" hotels I found on hotwire 'coz we'd be as happy with a decent 2.5* or a 4* if it's worth the extra dollars.

The following would be our best guess for each:

1) not really sure (could be anything from La Quinta to Ramada to Holiday Inn Express)... i wouldn't recommend a 2.5* unknown property in this area

2) Sheraton Safari

3) Hyatt Place Convention Center

4) Rosen Shingle Creek

Thanks for the quick response. This site is awesome!

The 3* Buena Vista sounds like a good one. But before we book on hotwire, wondering if you may have some guesses for the following 3.5* hotel that is a "Customer Favorite". Same date 12/8-9.

3.5-star hotel in Lake Buena Vista - Downtown Disney

$94 per nite (Retail $125, You save $31)

Hotel amenities: Fitness center, Restaurant(s), Laundry Facilities, Pool, Business Center, High-speed Internet Access

TR: 3.5 out of 5

Thanks!

PS: Will make sure to use the HOTWIRE link to book tonite :) And update on what hotel we end up with.

Matches the Hotel Royal Plaza so that would be our best guess.

Thanks in advance for using our HOTWIRE link :)

Good Luck and let us know what you decide.

We booked the 3* LBV and got Sheraton Safari Hotel Lake Buena Vista as you guessed :)

Rate for 1nite 12/8-9 '07 is $59 + $13.45 taxes/fees totalling $72.45

Thanks, appreciate the tips!
