Priceline Hotel: 3* Orlando (SeaWorld-I Drive-Convention Center) Radisson I-Drive

[bmg]

Hello:

In the past your advice has been so helpful. I am looking to bid/purchase on a hotel in Orlando for 1/27/09 -2/1/09 and trying to identify a few of the hotels in the Hotwire list.

They are #2.5 @$35.00 , Suites, Smoke Free Room, Complimentary Breakfast, Pools, Laundry and High Speed in the Sea World, International area. What is your guess? My guess is a Marriott property but I may be wrong since I have not done this much.

Also, there is a 4.5 star @$89.00 in the Sea World, South International Dr. area with the following Fitness, Pool, Business Center, Restaurant, High Speed, Tennis Nearby. What is your guess? The last question, has anyone heard of a bid being won for the Ritz Carlston and J.W. Marriott in Orlando in the Sea World area? Any help that you can provide is appreciated. MAE

Welcome back :)

The 2.5* matches previous reports for the Comfort Suites Orlando (9350 Turkey Lake Road) while the 4.5* matches the Peabody, so that would be my best guess for each.

I am looking to identy a 3* hotel in Orlando, Fl. Sea World, IDrive South area that lists for $45.00 and includes

Fitness, Business Center, Restuarant, Pool, Laundry, Internet Access.

Also, there is a 3.5* in the same area (Sea World, I-Drive South) for $63.00 that lists:

Business Center, Pool, Restaurant, Laundry Facilities and Internet Access.

Could you help identify these and do they generally get positive feedback. All help is appreciated. Thanks . BMG

Is this for the same stay as your Hotwire Orlando stay for 1/27-2/1? If not, what are the dates of the stay above and are you still going to this area for the previous dates?

Sorry that I didn't mention the dates, yes it is for the sames dates of 1/27 to 2/1/10 that I inquired about last.

Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread.

The 3.5* is a match for the Monumental Hotel while the 3* is a match for the Wyndham Orlando Resort, so that would be my best guess for each.

Well finally the bidding is over, I wanted to report that I won the bid on Priceline on a 3* for the Radisson at 8400 International Dr. Orlando for this period. I know that

I started inquiring about Hotwire hotels and didn't know if I should start another thread or let you know the conclusion of my earlier inquiry. Because I was not comfortable with the hotels after researching the reviews on Trip

Advisor I decided to explore Priceline. While the HOTWIRE prices were suitable, I looked at the bids that were won from Priceline. Also, it seems at times that Priceline prices were a bid lower at times. This may or may not be true.

Initally, I bid for $36.00 for a 3.5 star in Sea World, and Sand Lake Corporate Park, rejected,

Next I added Universal for $40.00 with and this time a 4.0 star appeared, reected.

I then added a 3 star at $38.00 and it was accepted for the Radisson. One question, I tried to remove the 4 star and the Universal area once the process started but was unable to do so. Is this how it works.

I also won a rental car Standard for $18.00. All in all you take a gamble and I am satisfied.

Let me know if I should have responded under a new PRICELINE thread or what.

Thanks for your help. bmg
