When I entered your dates into HOTWIRE today, I got a 3* Customer Favorite with breakfast, fitness, pool, business center and hi-speed internet at $42 per night. This is a match for the Hyatt Place. Are you sure you noted the amenities correctly?

[fshwilli]

Thanks for the rsponse and help identifying. For some reason I must have thought there was a shuttle but upon checking HOTWIRE again I see th same amenities as you. The price in the week was $39 and now $42 but I am thinking that this is a great price for the Hyatt??? Will post my findings! I have to finalize our trip arrangements. The hotel will be pre-cruise flying in very late on the Friday, have the Saturday free and then the cruise leaves Sunday.

If, in fact, it IS the Hyatt Place, then $39 or $42 is a great deal. The rate on their website is $179 for each night. :)

Good luck!

Yes that is what worries me that it is not the Hyatt!! Seems awfully reasonable to me!! Is there any other possibles that it could be given the listing of the amenities?? Any clues would be welcome!

First of all, I hope you're not confusing "Hyatt Place" with "Hyatt Regency" or "Grand Hyatt". They are different quality levels within the Hyatt chain. Many of the Hyatt Place locations were former Amerisuites locations that have been renovated completely.

I don't think anybody can GUARANTEE that it's the Hyatt Place but consider the following:

1) It has previously been reported with those amenities in that area.

2) No other hotel has been reported with those amenities in that area.

3) Have a look at this Hyatt Place Orlando thread from last week. HOTWIRE showed exactly the same amenities and price as the one you're looking at and it was confirmed by somebody else who booked it. In other words, $39 or $42 is certainly a possible rate for a Hyatt Place and, by all accounts, a great deal.

Although nobody can be 100% certain of which hotel this is, I think that *I* would be fairly confident that, in fact, it is the Hyatt Place based on the "evidence".

If it is, the place has very good reviews.

You might feel more comfortable by splitting your purchase into two separate days. That way, you'd know after the first day whether it IS the Hyatt Place and then book the second day. I'm not saying that I would do that but it certainly is an option.

Thanks G-Man for all your help. Yes I have read that it used to be an Amerisuites, but still seems a great price. All I have to do before going for this is get our flights sorted out. I wll post back the win on HOTWIRE. Many thanks for your imput.
