Since I am very new at this. HOw do I find a room in Orlando for March 6-12?

you just need to look - I would look for March 5 or 6 - still the timeshares ones are for a week - then call the resort and tell them you aren't coming until the next day. (so they won't think you are no-show)

I am going to look around. I am really skeptical still because I don't know how to bid and such.

how about rodeway inn international?

 

[umaangel00]

also when it has a tax and fee charge and a season surcharge per night, do you have to add both of those into the price of the auctions. so lets say i win a room for 1 dollar a night. taxes are 32 and surcharge is 30 does that mean I am paying: 378 total for the room?

check this site travel agency - dreams unlimited - they had a very good price before for Rodway Inn.

remember this is a resort so you must add $32 per night to your bid for the final price - that is alot of money.

here is the hotel website

here is a link to travel agent from this website

never bid more than you can get the same room elsewhere - does that make sense?

I give up. I dont' get how to use it.

umaangel00............................

see if I can help you out here.

If you win a "per night" auction for say $1, and it says it charges $32 a night(and say you want 5 nights), and also charges $30 a night for a "season surcharge", that is ..........


$1 (auction win) X 5 = $5
$32 X 5 =$160
$30 X 5= $150

TOTAL would be $160 + $150 + $5 = $315

I think this is right.

ok you said to go with a timeshare from skyauction. how do i know it's a timeshare then?

The only thing I am seeing for March is.....

You didn't say what size place you needed. This is only for 4 people or less. Do you fit in this??

Since March is considered last minute travel, you just have to check everyday to see what becomes available.

Any more questions, just ask.

Edited to add: Since you are going in early March, I don't know what the chances are of seeing something else come up, but you never know. This auction would probably go for a cheap price because it is for a specific week and it is only 8 days away. I have heard a lot of good about SL, but it is usually the 2 bedrooms. Maybe you could ask on here about the one-bedrooms. Only 18 hours to go and no one has even bid yet.
