Hotwire Hotel: 4* Orlando (Downtown) Grand Bohemian

[jat1977]

I discovered this find on Hotwire:

4/25-4/26

Downtown Orlando

4 stars

$156

"This upscale establishment offers thoughtful features, quality rooms and a high level of service."

Amenities: smoke free rooms, fitness center, pool(s), restaurant(s), business center, high speed internet access, tennis nearby.

Hotwire says this is a 19% or $32.10 off the rack rate. I previously discovered that the Grand Bohemian was charging $188.10 for the same night. Does that mean that the listed hotel is the Grand Bohemian?

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to BetterBidding!

The retail rates shown by HOTWIRE are often incorrect, as it is a rate for a hotel of similar quality in that zone, not the actual hotel you'll be purchasing, so it is not a reliable indicator of which hotel you will likely receive.

However, in this instance, the amenities HOTWIRE associates with the property above matches those associated with the Grand Bohemian, so that would be our best guess.

Please use this HOTWIRE link to begin any purchases you make.

Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

Thanks for that! I was wondering though . . . I just checked the rate again and it now says it is $149 ($7 less than this morning). Is there a way to know when the best time to reserve is? In other words, do rates typically keep on dropping as the date gets closer?

Just got this hotel for $153 (not including tax - another $25 or so) for the night of 4/25-4/26

Saw it earlier today for $149, but decided not to book to see if it went down some more. Drat! Oh well, I still think $153 for this hotel is a good deal. When I stayed there a couple of years ago, the rack rate was $300 a night.
