kvalent Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Are you sure "smoke free" was not listed as an amenity. The Gaylord Palms usually includes "smoke free" when booking through hotwire. Link to comment
Alaska Don Posted May 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Smoke free was also listed... Sorry I must have missed that before. Link to comment

Alaska Don Posted June 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Update on how the stay went.My mom checked in and really loved this place.They were very easy to deal with over the phone so that I could take care of the resort fee and parking in advance, as this weekend stay was a gift for her. This is just a hunch, but I think that because we put a business card on the account to take care of any incidentals ahead of time, and paid a little extra to have a bottle of wine and plate of their gourmet cheeses in the room upon arrival, they assumed that my mom, despite booking through hotwire, "could" be some kind of potential business client or important guest.Check-in was a breeze, and I don't think there was any mention of Hotwire, I asked her how checkin went, and she said it took seconds and that when she gave them her name they pulled her up in the computer and said, "everything is already paid for and arranged, Mrs. X" and then they gave her the room key. She said she was very impressed with the service and with employees addressing her by name at times throughout the stay, which I think was impressive for a hotel of this size. They put her in a nice veiw room in St Augustine on an upper floor (at no charge).She was going to go to Disney, but liked the hotel so much, and felt that there was so much to do there, she ended up just staying around the property. She said she wanted to see everything at the hotel, and ended up just going to Dowtown Disney in the evening on one night.This is a gem for Hotwire because it is so easy to identify and is offered at about half price. If you are staying in Orlando, and want a nice place for about $100 a night, this is a no-brainer. Link to comment
