Just some more info - I just booked the Doubletree across the street from Universal for the 3 nights after Thanksgiving (Friday, Sat, Sunday) and each night came out to be $79+ tax (with AAA discount). I booked this through DU and then went to the Doubletree site to see what that cost is. Guess what - everything else being equal, the price was $130+ per night! So if you're looking at Doubletree, check out a travel agent to see if you can get a better deal (like DU).
Thanks, what is DU?
