Hotwire.com?

Not sure if this the right place to post this question. I have never used hotwire and not sure about it and a little scared of it. For Feb. 12-16 hotwire has 3.5-star hotel in Disney Main Gate - Celebration Area for 57.00. Do you think this would be Radisson Celebration at 2900 Parkway Boulevard Kissimmee, FL 34747? If so has anyone ever stayed here? Is it nice, clean, what is it close to, and would 57.00 be a great deal. Please, add any other information you can think of. Thanks

Many Disers swear by www.betterbidding.com for hotel information for Hotwire.

Good luck!

We have used Hotwire several times and always had good experiences. I do make sure to note the location, star rating, and all amenities listed on the Hotwire listings, then go to betterbidding.com to cross reference. I have been able to accurately predict which hotel I was getting every time using this method.

BTW, if the hotel is Radisson Resort Celebration, you'll like it very much! We stayed there in October 2007, and thought it was very nice. We got it on Hotwire, too! Just be aware that there is an additional "resort fee" of $10/night, I believe, so factor that into the cost of the hotel.

I believe that the Hotel is the Radisson. Sometimes you can tell by choosing the hotel+car option and they will show you the hotel and its amenities.

This is what I do. I do a search for hotel first, note all the amenities and area and then do a search for hotel and airfare (make up) and compare to see which actual hotel. Then go back and book hotel that I want that matches with fingers crossed.

Worked for me both times I used it. Got exactly the hotel I wanted for half the price. Even got one for August 09 2 months ago for very cheap price which is difficult on Priceline.

I am a Hotwire convert now.

Good Luck.

I just got Caribe Royale on hotwire for our 3 nights in February. Paying $105.00 plus taxes. All their rooms are suites. I'd be happy to share the star rating and amenities to help you identify it if you are interested.
We've used hotwire several times and have never been disappointed. Though I would never book under 3 stars and generally only book 3.5 and up.

I just checked hotwire and the same star rating and amenities are coming up for your dates. $103.00 per night. Total including all taxes etc for your 4 nights is $468.99

I'd love to know the star rating and amenities that you got the Caribe Royal for. I need a room in Feb as well and have been checking Hotwire daily. Thanks!
