Snatch it...good rate.

Cool -- think I will reserve it. They do take a one-night deposit, but that's refundable if you cancel more than five days out from arrival.

The reservations agent said a lot of their rooms/rates were sold out for that date, but I never know if they're being honest or just trying to make a sale. But since it's a Saturday night I wouldn't be surprised.

1 night...on a Saturday...I'll bet she's tellin' you the truth.

It's pretty hard to get 1 night...esp a weekend.

And the rate is good...I doubt you'll find cheaper. And if you do, just call and have it adjusted and you'll get some of your money/deposit back.

You can't lose.

Thanks for the advice, we booked the room. We're excited to check out the Universal resorts.

Peace

Wow! The middle of September is usually slow. Harry Potter must really be pulling in the dough for Universal.

Although I doubt that the agent was lying, there's probably more rooms available than what appears to the agent. Third party travel sellers will block rooms, making the hotels look fuller than they actually are. With Harry Potter, I suspect that these sellers are blocking more rooms than they normally would. Some time before the travel date, they will release the un-booked rooms back to the hotels. I wonder if this explains the highly discounted APH rates that sometimes become available a couple months before the travel date.

Royal Pacific Resort
May 26-29
$164 - 26, 27
