The internet is in no short supply of travel websites (see: Uptake!), and new site ideas are popping up nearly every day. Being that I am a travel blog writer, I’ve seen many sites advertising many deals and discounts and have seen many trends come and go. I was just introduced to Trip Alertz, a new travel site that allows you to purchase hotel packages at a major discount. As more people purchase the hotel deal, the lower your final cost for the package. Think of it as a reverse auction: instead of the price going up for demand, the hotel package price goes down on Trip Alertz.

Embassy Suites, Lake Buena Vista Resort, Orlando

The best deal I’ve found on the site so far is for the Embassy Suites Hotel Lake Buena Vista. This Embassy Suites Hotel is adjacent to Disney World and is listed as a Walt Disney World Good Neighbor® Hotel. The listed hotel package deal is currently listed at $163 for a two-night stay in a two-bedroom suite with extra perks included. Enjoy a Manager’s Reception with snacks and beverages each evening, daily complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast, and free shuttle transportation to/from all Walt Disney World® Resort Theme Parks. Once purchased, the package is valid for stays Nov. 28 – Dec. 02, 2010 or Dec. 12 – Dec. 23, 2010.

The Embassy Suites Hotel invites guests with a heated indoor/outdoor pool, fitness center, tennis, basketball, and sand volleyball courts. As with every Embassy Suites Hotel, rooms open onto a large atrium that houses the registration desk and bar/restaurant.

*Instructions for how to purchase the deal and use the package, see the Trip Alertz website.
