katiel53 Posted October 22, 2017 #26 Share Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) It's strange that I can get the 2018 rates with Safari, but they don't come up with chrome. Edited October 22, 2017 by katiel53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doone Posted October 22, 2017 #27 Share Posted October 22, 2017 2018 prices are up on the website now! Unfortunately, the date I want is not valid for the value price. Thanks for the heads up, sorry your dates are not available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amp0289 Posted October 23, 2017 #28 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Any insight on how long valuetrips takes to respond to an email? I requested a room last week and waited a few days before emailing, as I hadn't heard anything yet, but I haven't gotten an answer via email either.

cakerbakermom Posted October 23, 2017 #29 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I got tired of waiting for them to post their rates for 2018, after having them tell me that they would be posted in September, so I contacted Hyatt Place directly and had them make a reservation for me, and was quoted the price is supposed to be the ValueTrips rate (219$) Did you call the hotel directly and ask for the Valuetrips price of $219? We have reservations 1/31 with checkout on 2/3 AND 2/11 reservation. Ours are much more expensive than ValueTrips prices! I did submit a Valuetrip today for 1/31-2/2 checkout, hoping to get at least two days cheaper. But if I knew I could call someone and get it done easier, I would cancel my ValueTrips request.

I called the Hyatt myself last week and asked for the Value Trips rate and was told they didn't have anything other than the regular rates. I also sent a reservation to ValueTrips, even though the rates weren't posted, and so far the hotel has no reservation for me, nor have I received an answer from ValueTrips. My sister sent a reservation on Sunday, but hasn't heard anything. I find it strange that it isn't available on my Chrome, but it is on Safari and the rates shown as regular rack rates on the new reservation form is not what is shown on the Hyatt site. Something seems so wrong here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I requested on Wednesday and sent an email Sunday. Nothing back. Please post when you get something and I will too. Okay?:) I have used them before and it's always been a day or two wait. This is unusual in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connie bee Posted October 25, 2017 #34 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I too am waiting for a response back from Value Trips. I sent a request for Hyatt Place for March 24th 2018 last Sunday, and still have not heard back. This is my first time using them. How long do you wait before contacting them or the hotel? If it's not available to they let you know at the time of trying to book it? I will let you know if we hear anything back from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amp0289 Posted October 25, 2017 #35 Share Posted October 25, 2017 An Update - I'm clearly impatient lol I called Hyatt directly, they were able to confirm my reservation. The prompts bring you to an automated system where you can give your name and dates and that confirms, then I pressed 0 for a person and Althea was very helpful, gave my confirmation number and sent me a confirmation email and it does show the ValueTrips rate.

doone Posted October 25, 2017 #36 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I found they are slow, after 2 weeks of not hearing from them, I happened to send an email, within hours I got my confirmation.................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsmum Posted October 25, 2017 #37 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I just called too! They have mine as well and I got our confirmation #. Yay! Thanks for doing that. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhraformula00 Posted October 25, 2017 #38 Share Posted October 25, 2017 valutrips are very slow to respond 4,5,6,7 days sometimes. We have used them 4 times now and have always got a response.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie bee Posted October 26, 2017 #39 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Thanks everyone for the quick response. I will wait until next week and if I don't hear anything by then I will call Hyatt Place to confirm. To those of you who have been there previously, about how many walking blocks to a nearby restaurant. My husband uses a walker, but doesn't walk to far, two or three blocks is about all he will be able to handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Vic Posted October 26, 2017 #40 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I just called too! They have mine as well and I got our confirmation #. Yay! Thanks for doing that. :D Ditto! I requested my reservation one week ago and still have not received a response. Called the hotel directly and they confirmed my reservation. ***?

amp0289 Posted October 26, 2017 #41 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I'll share this as well just in case anyone else may need the info - I booked 2 rooms (there are 7 of us), and when I called to confirm they did say they could see two rooms under my name. When I reviewed my confirmation email later, it only showed one. I called Hyatt back and they looked it up again and gave me a second confirmation number for the second room. I guess when ValueTrips books them, if you have more than one room they are booked separately? Either way - rooms are all set, despite still not have a response from ValueTrips :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband uses a walker, but doesn't walk to far, two or three blocks is about all he will be able to handle. It's been a few years since I have been but when we have gone there is an Outback Steakhouse just across the parking lot. A Publix / shopping strip is through the the hedges although no real restaurants there that I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband uses a walker, but doesn't walk to far, two or three blocks is about all he will be able to handle. I haven't been yet, but in my pre-trip researching, it looks like there are a few options very close. The Outback like sportsmum said, and an Italian place appear to be the closest. Across the road in the same plaza as Publix, there is Gilbert's 17th Street Grill, which I found from someone's review and then Googled - many people seem to suggest it!

bettyboop16 Posted October 27, 2017 #45 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Has anyone waiting to hear from Value Trips received a confirmation yet? It has been 1 week for me & I did send an e mail....still nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katiel53 Posted October 28, 2017 #46 Share Posted October 28, 2017 We still haven't gotten a reply and even calling the hotel, we were advised they don't have our reservation. I will wait a few more days and then send another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie bee Posted October 29, 2017 #47 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I booked through Value Trips last Sunday, and have not heard back. So I just called Hyatt Place and as of now they don't have a reservation for us. She suggested that I contact Value Trips. Thank you Sportsmum and Amp0289 for your response to my inquiry. It's most helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dee2673 Posted October 31, 2017 #50 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Still waiting here. I've gone ahead and booked The Riverside HOtel. I can cancel if Value trips ever comes through. The rate was only $4.00 a night more with the AARP discount..but it doesn't have any of the transportation stuff or breakfast so it will ultimately be more expensive. Still hoping for Hyatt Place!! Oh and I did call Hyatt yesterday and they do not have a reservation for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
