We usually go to Orlando for 9 nights and if you can find a place for $100. Sometimes I think we come out far ahead in the deal.
Where do you usually stay? We stayed at the Comfort Inn in Essington in '06 and it was great but I'd love to know about a place that someone's stayed at more recently. Plus there's 5 of us so we need a suite I guess.We like to drive down the night before stay at a hotel that has park and fly. Many of the places have free breakfast and a free happy hour.

Thanks!!! OT- anyone know if Southwest still offers curb-side check-in???
They said they would look into it.. half an hour later they call back and tell us when their driver went to start the car our battery was dead (a six month old battery)! So they had lied about him leaving and the traffic, etc. They said we must have left a light on and that was why the battery was dead. When the driver finally arrived with our car, he took off immediately, we have no idea where he went. Hubby got into the car he noticed snow and ice packed down under the side of the driver's seat and icicles hanging from the controls. Apparently, they had left the driver's door ajar and that is why the battery was dead. When I called the following day to complain, I was repeatedly hung up on. I never was able to get in touch with anyone there. This was our experience. You have to judge for yourself who to go with. Good luck, I hope this helps.I know others had had good experiences with Winner but I thought you should know it's not all good. We used them for the first time in January. The girl at the front desk was extremely rude. We had to have them take us over to the airport in their van because we could not fit any more in our car. The van was filthy dirty and only had one working seat belt. We were gone for almost two weeks. When we called for the car, they told us our car was already on the way. Perfect! We took the kids out to the curb and waited. Half an hour later my husband called and they confirmed the driver hit some traffic but would be there in 10 minutes. We waited....One hour later my husband called back and they were very annoyed with us bugging them
Thanks for your story. We're always a little leery about leaving our car keys with anyone, especially if they know we'll be away for a week! DH already was unhappy that I booked flight out of PHL (we usually fly from EWR) so an incident like this would really put a damper on the trip.

You know what? We had the EXACT same experience with Winner about 5 or so years ago. The first and only time we used them. We had a car that was under 3 years old and we were traveling in November. It was a little cold but not frigid. We waited forever for a pick up and they gave us the "the battery died and we had to jump your car" story. As I said the car was fairly new. DH knew they were feeding us a line, and we never had a problem with the battery again.
We also never went there again.
As to Pacifico ... DH tried to use them before a morning flight. The line was down the street and there were not enough staff there. He ended up leaving and parking at a non-valet lot, as did the guys he was traveling with (a man trip). I have read this is a common occurrence with them for morning flights.
He never used Pacifico again either.
We like Pre-flight which I believe is on Island avenue. They have inside and outside parking. You take your own keys. And they have many vans going through the airport at all times so you don't even need to call for a pickup. They have a coupon available on their web site. We have used them many times and our experiences with them have been consistent. Everyone we know who has ever used them has said the same things about them.
