Cheap as Chips Trip

[maureen4200040]

Hi all

I'm planning a cheap DIY trip for early December O8. The flight has already been sorted, but I'm now in need of a cheap hotel on I-drive for 14 nights.

Can anyone recommend a good reliable website that i can book with. I'm on a limited budget but would like to stay at a cheap and clean hotel.

Thanking you in advance

I've never used it but others recommend Hotelopia. Apparently you can also get discounts to use on their. Hopefully someone like Wayne will come along & point you in the right direction.

Did you get good flight prices then?

never far away.

Is there a reason for Idrive, might be better offers elsewhere. Will you have a car? just looked 1st 2 weeks in Dec Cane Island, brand new development on 192(walking distance of Old Town) 2 bed condo £26/night.

Look at Hotelopia, search you dates if you see anything there is a 10% code plus you get another 10% cashback from Quidco.com There are loads of hotels on there from £12/night

You can narrow the search on Hotelopia to just Idrive. Just checked a couple of hotels and compared to holidayroomsdirect. Quality Inn plaza, £338 (HRD) £308 (H/pia). Best Western Movieland £346 (HRD), £288 (H/opia) Maybe some hotels are cheaper with them but I couldn't find any.
Let me know if you need a discount code for Hotelopia.

Reviews are mixed and depends which location, a relative of ours stayed at Travelodge (Idrive, I think) he got transferred somewhere else it was so bad.
We have stayed at Comfort Inn LBV had cockroaches in room and was dirty, but others have no problems.

Not really, you just have to be careful. I would go back to the Comfort Inn again but request a higher floor, not ground floor where things can get in, but thats same at any hotel in Florida not just Comfort Inn, I believe the cleaning was down to being Xmas and not enough staff, others have not had a problem here.

We have booked here for our 1st 17 nights in August http://www.countryinns.com/orlandofl_wdwresort £20/night incl. Went to look around at Easter, fridge, microwave, free internet and breakfast, gets good reviews, stayed at Courtyard by Marriott LBV for past 2 Augusts at £25/night, brilliant for the money.

All depends what you want from a hotel, for us we get in late at night and out 1st thing next morning, if you want a fancy pool and a chocolate on your pillow then you have to pay.
I have booked POR for our last 3 nights in August after the cruise, chance to change to AKL for a few extra £ but I know it will be a waste of money for us, we will still only use the bed and out again.

That is good value. We have booked Fountains resort £450 for 8 nights. Haven't got a clue what it's like and never even driven past it but it looked nice on the website

I got a PM from Leanne who has just returned and stayed here a few nights, hope she doesn't mind me making public her PM.
We were very happy with the hotel. Great location, a Sizzlers, Chilis and Olive Garden right outside. The hotel was very clean and the staff were friendly.
They had a decent breakfast area although we only tried the "make your own waffles" as it was our last morning and we didn't want to waste any time.
The room was a good size and was very clean. The hallway was great with lovely soft carpet under foot.

If I had to criticise I would say the furnishings could do with some modernisation but that really doesn't make any difference to us. The free internet access worked a treat.
We would certainly stay again especially at that cost.
Oh the beds were really comfy at the Country Inn too.
