Priceline Bids/results

[dennise]

Yes, it is 3.5*. I see that others have got it for 54. We have never stayed this close to DW, ususally like to avoid the intersection of 535 and World drive. (we don't spent all our time at the World, so like to be close to others things. We are kind of like gypsies.

3 1/2* Wyndham on International for $49 for March 24. Previous bid was $45. Reviews I've seen so far are not good. Not sure I'm happy about this.

We stayed there a few years ago, requested building 8, got a ground floor room, could see one of the pools out the door, close to pool, snack bar. we thought it was very clean, but had read negative reports before we went.

We just got Hilton Garden Inn Orlando SeaWorld International Center for $32/night this friday-Sun Feb 27-Mar 2. It is a 3 Star on priceline and has a 4.2 overall on expedia with no negative reviews. Our total for the three nights is $123, booking through the hotel for the same room would cost $401.63

boy - got a horrible resort for $41.07 (including fee - w/o fee 30)

Ramada Orlando Celebration Hotel & Conference Center - according to the reviews - this place is a dump.

I've stayed there, it wasn't bad at all. Hare is a review with some pictures:

They didn't have a resort fee that must be new. Call and make sure.

Omni Champions Gate http://www.omnihotels.com/FindAHotel/OrlandoChampionsGate.aspx

April 9 - April 17 (Spring Break)

$95. per night

Very excited, especially considering we got this under $100 during the spring break.

This is exactly when we will be there and the hotel we would prefer (we know no guarantees). Do you mind is I ask what criteria you put in? Great deal!


Thanks!

Hi All,

Not sure if it has been mentioned but Biddingfortravel.com keeps a record of bidding acceptances and rejections on their site.....They also offer strategies for "Re-bidding"

I've saved thousands of $$$ and stayed in 4 Star resorts across the USA utilizing the strategies I learned on the site.

I apologize if this has been mentioned before...Didn't read the 12 page thread.

Yes, Seaworld is right behind it. I posted pics and a review here:

I'm also looking for a hotel in Orlando. Last bid on Priceline didn't go through. Will try with Sheraton.

Hello,

A couple days ago I bid on Priceline. First bid was $50 for a 4 star, then $51 for a 3 1/2 star all within downtown disney. Then I added Kissimmee as well, and upped the bid to $65 and got the Hotel Royal Plaza for April 11 - 16th.

I am trying to book a 1 night stay in the airport MCO area through Priceline for end of April but have not been successfull sofar. Tried weeks already but
no success.
Am I too early ??
I have read betterbidding and biddingfortravel but there is not really an answer to when one should start bidding for a room.
Some seem to have success month before and others just days before.
Now I want to keep trying in the coming weeks but in case I don't have any success is it still OK to book through the normal sites closer to the end of april ?? Or will I risk the fact that most hotels would be all booked up ???
Anyone experience with booking airport hotels ???

Try Hotwire! I plugged in 1 night near the end of April (just to try it out, I plugged in 4/24), and 5 hotels came up- price range from mid $40's up to mid $70's. Star levels from 2 to 4. All listed as Orlando Intl Airport MCO.

 

[Annabell]

Thanks for the tip... I will have a look at Hotwire.

 

[missthec&o]

Got this through Hotwire last week:

Holiday Inn Hotel and Suites Orlando-Orange County Convention Center
8214 Universal Boulevard
3*
Pool, fitness center, high-speed Internet access
4/4/09-4/8/09
$47 a night

Was looking for something not too far from Sea World, since that's where we'll be most of the time. Wasn't the hotel I thought I might get, but TripAdvisor reviews look promising -- nothing fancy, but clean, good location and good people.

I just book the RAMADA for two nights before we go to the POP. My total was $84.
