In the spirit of full disclosure, I booked this through Priceline. By the time they added a big fee, and I paid for parking, I should have just booked directly...I probably would have saved money and may have gotten a room in the presumably nicer tower.
Check in was a big cluster, with busses arriving and lots of people in the lobby...it was a very slow process. I was housed out in the south 40...definitely just a "motel" room, with a stopped up toilet (this was a theme in Orlando, and I promise, it wasn't me!! LOL!) and a t.v. on the fritz, requiring two visits from maintenance (both guys were very nice, and it was fixed after the second visit). I am not sure if I got the Priceline Room (i.e. punishment for trying to save money), but it was a plain old room that in any other city, would have been about $80. It was my wedding anniversary, andI kind of splurged (or so I thought) on a high star hotel (my hubby was home while I was traveling on business). NOT. I really couldn't wait to leave.
Room Tip: Try to be in the tower! It has to be better than "out back."
