On Priceline I just got HP Orlando for 33.00 per night on November 29-December 1 2.5 stars went and looked at the Hyatt Place website and the rooms look beautiful and rooms are going for $120 range per night so I am sooo happy.

Not fantastic, but $69 for 4* Rosen center 1 night in Sept, and then $119 for Dolphin.

Ohhhh the Dolphin is showing up on priceline??? How many days are you staying & did you get it for 119.00??

J&D · 05-14-2008, 10:04 PM

That is great if the Dolphin is showing up again. I'm going to check it out on BFT.

We got the Wyndham (over by Universal) for $40.00 a night on Priceline a few years ago and it was WONDERFUL!!

We have used PL many times in different cities and have NEVER been dissappointed!!

I got Wingate near the airport for $49 for our last night before returning home. It looks like a nice hotel. Regular rate is $109.

Congrats, that is some steal!!!!

MiaSRN62 · 05-15-2008, 07:01 AM

Congrats to you ky32hm

I got also Wingate by the airport on Hotwire last night for $59. I guess it depends on what dates you put in which determines your rate.

I asked a couple of questions about the HW process and certain resorts but got no responses on Betterbidding.com. It's an informative board, but not the best or quickest for getting responses. At least in my experience. So I had a strong feeling when I was bidding that I would get Wingate from the description on HW.
The only reason I didn't go with Priceline was because betterbidding said they don't have to guarantee 2 beds in the room. HW will match the number of people in your party to the number of beds and it's guaranteed.

ky32hm · 05-19-2008, 10:50 PM

I wasn't aware that HW matched the beds to the number of people but it's good to know for future reference. I did call after I booked and put in a request for 2 beds in both rooms. You're probably right about certain nights. Mine is for a Monday night stay.

We are planning on staying at Destin the night before we go drive to Orlando, has anyone ever pricelined any hotels at Destin and what kind of deals did yall get?

GIZZY06 · 05-29-2008, 03:45 PM

Just a note,

I have used priceline many times, making sure that I was ok with all of the hotels listed under my desired star rating. The last time I used Priceline, I got a hotel that wasn't even listed on the website. So be careful, I was stuck with this awful hotel.

GIZZY06 · 05-29-2008, 03:48 PM

As I mentioned in my previous post about getting stuck with a hotel that wasn't listed (it was the Sandestin Golf resort in Destin). We bid 120, and got the Sandestin, which wouldn't be bad if we were on the beachside, but we were on the bayside and it was horrible. I wouldn't recommend doing Priceline in Destin just in case you get the Sandestin. Check the reviews on travel websites.
HOpe this helps.

spiceycat · 05-29-2008, 03:55 PM

write to priceline and tell them how unhappy you were.

if enough people do it - they downgrade the resort.

Priceline is such a neat site.
