Hotwire Hotel: 3* Orlando (SeaWorld-I-Drive South) Residence Inn Convention Center

[thehabs25]

Hi,

I am trying to identify this 3* hotel for my stay Nov 15-20 2008 this year in Orlando. It is on I-Drive South Area for $59.

The amenities are: Suite, Comp. Breakfast, Pool, High-Speed Access, Fitness Center, Laudry facilities

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Please go back to HOTWIRE and confirm... is the above the complete set of amenities that HOTWIRE associates with this property? (i'm seeing one more on my own HOTWIRE search)

[thehabs25]

I forgot to add smoke-free rooms.

The above is a match for the Residence Inn Convention Center so that would be our best guess.

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

I was hoping that it was the homewood suites. Is that one of the current offerings? And if so how much?

[thereuare]

Compare what has previously been reported for the Homewood Suites in the Hotwire Hotel List to what is offered to you on a HOTWIRE search... are there any matches?

No I didn't see any matches. I tried with two adults. Am I looking too far in advance for a hotel in november? This is for our honeymoon and I don't really want to wait for last minute but want a good deal.

[thereuare]

Are you only interested in the Homewood Suites or simply looking for a 'good deal' on a hotel in this area?

If the ID above is correct, the Residence Inn goes for $134/nite, so $59 would certainly seem like a good deal to me... or is there something in particular you're looking for?

I'd like to have something on I-Drive or close to. I am looking for a hotel that also has free parking, free breakfast, and at least 3 starts. But want to pay under $100 a night. Residence looks alright, but I really like what Homewood Suites has for reviews and Hyatt Place Orlando Convention Center. But I can seem to find anything that matches those.

HOTWIRE will only show the least expensive hotel at each star rating in a zone.

Great thanks for that clarification. I didn't get that right away. So once the ones that are cheaper in that star rating are gone the other ones may show up. I might wait a little while longer than before booking a hotel then.

[thehabs25]

Can you help me identify these other two for the same dates in orlando:

3 Star hotel in Universal Orlando - i-Drive North Area - Amenities Include: Fitness Center, Pool, Restaurant, Business Center, High Speed access for $59 a night

3 Star condo in SeaWorld - IDrive South Area - Amenities Include: Condo, Resort, Studio, Parking, Childrens Activ, Fitnesss Center, Pool, 24 front desk for $55 a night

Thanks!

Not necessarily... a lot of things can happen.

The hotels currently shown could be purchase and higher priced hotels are shown, the hotel could increase occupancy on their own and pull the inventory offered to the opaque suppliers or increase their prices causing a different hotel to be shown, or another hotel could lower their "opaque rates" causing a new hotel to be shown at a cheaper price.

[thehabs25]

Oh ok, that makes more sense. Can you help me identify the other two hotels I mentioned two posts earlier?

Wow your fast, I just updated it now with the full list. Didn't realize there were more amenities. :) The one in the north area is the same but the one near seaworld has more amenities.

3 Star hotel in Universal Orlando - i-Drive North Area - Amenities Include: Fitness Center, Pool, Restaurant, Business Center, High Speed access for $59 a night

3 Star condo in SeaWorld - IDrive South Area - Amenities Include: Condo, Resort, Studio, Free Parking, Childrens Activ, Fitnesss Center, Pool, 24 front desk, Tennis Nearby, Spa services, and Kitchenette now showing at $53 a night

The amenities for the Universal property are very common, but they do match the Four Points Studio City so that would be our best guess for that one.

The Condo property is a match for the Westgate Lakes so that would be our best guess there.

Let us know what you decide and how it goes.

After checking all the reveiws I decided to go with the original hotel that I asked for help with and it did turn out to be the Marriott Residence Inn. Thanks a lot for all your help :) I will be returning soon for more vacations!

[thereuare]

Congratulations on your success.

Glad to hear you received the hotel you were expecting and that you're happy with the results (hard not to be with a $75/nite savings :) )

Thank you for sharing your outcome with the board.

Enjoy your stay and have a happy honeymoon.

Also, I did use the HOTWIRE link from this site to make my booking :)

THANKS! :)
