Hotwire Hotel: Hotel Orlando North now a 3.5*?

[Spike_Marx]

I am new to this board. Thanks for all the great info!

I am looking for a hotel in the Altamonte Springs area of Orlando during April 21 - 26.

I have stayed at the Embassy Suites Orlando North the last three years (via Hotwire) and I am looking for them again this year, although I am beginning to think that it might not be available.

Anyway, I would be happy to stay at the 3.5* Hilton (Hotwire listed: Hotel, Restaurant, Swimming, & Fitness.) and I would rather avoid the (3*?) Orlando North Hotel. But, I now see a 3.5* available ($45) with the amenities: Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Business (same as Orlando North). So, I did a package search for April 21-26 and the Orlando North now comes up as a 3.5* with Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Business amenities.

I have a feeling that Hotwire upgraded the Hotel Orlando North to a 3.5*, perhaps to help to protect the opaqueness of both them and the Hilton.

What do you think?

Thanks!

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Thanks for the info on the Orlando North upgrade, we have updated our lists accordingly. However, the two properties you mentioned still use different amenity icons, so we are still able to differentiate these two properties... the one you're looking at isn't likely the Hilton since it also shows the Business icon.

Please use our HOTWIRE link for your future purchases.

Let us know how we can be of further help.

Thanks for the help. I'm going to wait a bit to see if the Hilton or the Embassy Suites come up. I'll be sure to use the link.

Thanks!
