A computer input error this week resulted in the Holiday Inn in the
Walt Disney World(R) Resort selling 1,208 rooms for $.93 each. The
rate was posted for approximately 17 hours. During that time,
approximately 400 guests reserved rooms, saving more than $110,000.
The hotel has decided to extend its offer of the bargain rate in a
special package to guests, who will receive the fifth night for 93
cents after staying four nights at the regular rate. After getting
over the initial shock, General Manager Glenn Aycock decided to
turn lemons into lemonade and created the special five-night
package. The offer is being made as a special grand opening
promotion and is valid from September 10, 2005 through December 24,
2005 for guests who book rooms at the hotel by September 30, 2005.
Guests may book rooms under the Buy Four, Get One at $.93 package
by calling the hotel direct at (407) 828-8888. "Naturally we're
going to honor this rock-bottom rate for the individuals who booked
rooms during the 17-hour period, as our guests are always our first
priority," Aycock said. "Our hotel was severely damaged during the
hurricanes that slammed into Florida last year, and we are closed
until August 1 when we will reopen after totally making over the
hotel. This special rate has now become our grand reopening gift to
our future guests. "We are working under some pretty difficult
conditions during the renovation and incorrectly loaded the rates
onto Holiday Inn's Web site," he said. "The hotel corrected the
erroneous pricing information, which ranged from 93 cents to $1.13
per night, as soon as it found out about the error yesterday
morning after a guest called to confirm the room rate. The 323-room
hotel is located on Hotel Plaza Boulevard in Downtown Disney inside
the Walt Disney World(R) Resort. The property is essentially being
rebuilt and will be the resort's "newest" property when it reopens
August 1, 2005. Rooms and all public space will be completely
refurbished at a cost of more than $6 million. "About the only
thing that is not being replaced is the concrete," Aycock noted.
The 14-story atrium property overlooks a serene garden setting and
features two outdoor heated pools, a heated children's pool and a
whirlpool. The hotel also features a game room, fitness center,
high-speed Internet access, in-room movies and Nintendo, and
complimentary in-room coffee. The resort hotel features a
full-service restaurant, a quick-service deli, and a lounge.
Children under 12 dining with paying adults eat free. The hotel is
operated by Interstate Hotels & Resorts (NYSE: IHR), the
nation's largest independent hotel management company. With more
