saldridge Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Hello all,I just found this place, this is great. I have booked with Hotwire twice so far and I was very lucky both times. Now I am going to a conference and I would like to stay within the vicinity of the Hilton in Downtown Disney. I have my eye on the following two options for the time from 11/4 to 11/9/2008:4-star hotel in Lake Buena Vista - Downtown Disney - $109Amenities:Resort, Fitness Center, Pools, Restaurants, High Speed Internet, Golf Nearbey, Tennis Nearby, Children's Activity ProgramThat is all the info I see, I don't see a star rating.3.5-star condo in Lake Buena Vista - Downtown Disney - $109Amenities:Condo, Resort, 2 Bedroom Suite, Fully Equipped Kitchen, Free Parking, In-room Laundry, Fitness Center, PoolsIt has a little condo floor plan on the info page and on this page, it actually has a Restaurant listed too3.5-star hotel in Lake Buena Vista - Downtown Disney - $93Amenities:Fitness Center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Laundry Facilities, High-speed Internet Access I don't see any additional infoCan anyone identify one of those? Thanks a lot for your helpSusanne Link to comment
slick_gd Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Here are my best guesses as to these hotels:4* LBV - Hyatt Grand Cypress3.5* LBV - possibly the Hotel Royal Plaza, but I don't think it is3.5* LBV Condo - It seems like not all the amenities are listed for this property. On the main page of HOTWIRE there is a maximum of 8 amenities are listed, but there should be a link that says 'Show all amenities'. Please double check if these are the full list of amenities. Use this HOTWIRE link to start your purchase and let the board know the result. Link to comment

On the main page of HOTWIRE there is a maximum of 8 amenities are listed, but there should be a link that says 'Show all amenities'. Please double check if these are the full list of amenities.It actually changed already, now I have this:3.5-star condo in Lake Buena Vista - Downtown Disney - $112Resort2-Bedroom SuiteFully-equipped KitchenFree ParkingIn-Room LaundryFitness CenterPool(s)Restaurant(s)24-hour Front DeskHigh-speed Internet AccessSpa ServicesCondoDoes this help further identify the property? It has Spa Services, nice :-)Could it be the Lake Buena Vista Resort Village and Spa?How fast do they usually change? Link to comment
slick_gd Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 The Lake Buena Vista Resort Village and Spa has been reported as a win to this board, but apparently the 'spa' amenity icon wasn't listed for that win. This makes it tough to say which condo resort it could be.Searching through google to find other condo hotels in the area returns very little, aside from the Lake Buena Vista Resort Village. So it's hard to say which other place it could be.I would still place my bet on the LBV Resort Village and Spa though.As for how fast hotels can change, this can happen at any moment. Sometimes the offers will stay on for a while and other times they will disappear quickly. It all depends on how many rooms the hotel has listed, and how fast people book them. Link to comment
thereuare Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Welcome to BetterBidding....4-star hotel in Lake Buena Vista - Downtown Disney - $109Amenities:Resort, Fitness Center, Pools, Restaurants, High Speed Internet, Golf Nearbey, Tennis Nearby, Children's Activity ProgramCan you doublecheck HOTWIRE to see if this offering also has a Business icon associated with it? (in which case i would agree with the Hyatt Grand Cypress guessed above... otherwise it could be the Villas of Grand Cypress as another possibility)3.5-star condo in Lake Buena Vista - Downtown Disney - $112Resort2-Bedroom SuiteFully-equipped KitchenFree ParkingIn-Room LaundryFitness CenterPool(s)Restaurant(s)24-hour Front DeskHigh-speed Internet AccessSpa ServicesCondoThe Lake Buena Vista Resort Village & Spa is now also showing a Spa icon so that would be my best guess for this one.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

saldridge Posted October 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Thanks a lot to both of you@thereuare: No business symbol on either of those, which threw me off too becasue while searching this forum here, they almost all seem to have it.If it wasn't for the conference but a trip for pleasure, I would have probably chose either of those, since I am not too picky. Unfortunately, I an not an early riser and some seminars start at 9am, so I decided to book the Hitlon.I actually found a really good deal on Hotels.com, $99 for the first night, $189 for the other 4 nights which is much less than the conference rate of $199 for all nights - saves me $152 (even though I am still hurting).But I am sure I will be back!Susanne Link to comment
