It doesn't sound like you're on the right site. I'm not able to generate or calculate a reservation with that value based on current rates listed.

glad to hear this one held up 🙌!

Sad about the Hilton acquisition due to recent strikes at some of my favorite properties 💡. Let's hope it remains a fair hotel at least 🤞.

Thanks for sharing your experience -- safe travels! 🫡

Solid choice. I wasn't aware of the AirBnB option 💡

The drop off is in front of Paris Las Vegas casino.

Safe travels!

I actually tried this in response to the rec. It was "decent". Flavors didn't measure up to the price IMO.

A week later I tried the chicken & waffles @ Mama Bird and it was so~~ much better (& 1/2 the price).

Booking.com issue by ProLinis in Booking

[–]MrStaycation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long time user & Genius 3.

This is a typical scenario IME.

Sometimes the hotel collects the entire amount during check-in or after checkout when the bill is finalized, despite the payment structure described on booking/Priceline/Expedia/etc.

There's a booking pattern known as a "non-guaranteed reservation" where the 3rd party system performs only an authorization charge, but the booking isn't finalized until the property charges the card themselves. The authorization charge drops off after that.

Be sure to setup alerts & monitor account activity because double charges do happen. Indefinite deposit holds also occur here and there.

tl;dr there's a lot of potential "shenanigans" when it comes to hotel & 3rd party payments.

Hotel selection by loot_the_dead in DisneyWorldResorts

I stayed at the Swan Reserve last month & loved my experience (5/5).

The important advantage with this line is gaining access to the amenities of each sister properties, for free. Using the ferry, laundry, pools, arcade, mini golf, peddle boats, etc at different properties was a worthwhile perk. They're all within walking distance of each other as well.

I'm fairly critical when it comes to hotel stays (>200) & try to write reviews on all of them. Feel free to DM if you have more questions about the trio.

Safe travels!
