Quality Inn Plaza/Rosen Inn, I-Drive

I stayed at the Quality Inn Plaza on I-Drive in February 2009 and they were just starting their room renovations. I have just found on their website that post refurb they have been upgraded to AAA three diamond rating and are rebranding on 1st October 2010 as the 'Rosen Inn at Pointe Orlando'.

Does anybody think there will be a price rise to go along with the new brand and rating?

I am looking to return to the Q.i.P. in May 2011 and have found some good prices on Travel Republic. I tend to book last minute but am wondering whether this time it might be sensible to book early before the rebrand.

On a side note are Travel Republic reliable? I'm only booking the room through them which is currently £452 total for 2 people for 16 nights (02/05/11 - 18/05/11). I am slightly concerned this is a 'too good to be true rate' as other quotes I obtained were in the region of £1450 for the same room and same dates.

Any help and advice appreciated.

    I have used Travel Republic several times and not had any problems with them.

    However, the price difference does sound strange, are you certain its like for like ?

    I think we stayed at the Quality Inn Plaza in 2009 and we liked it - always mix it up with the other Quality Inn on idrive :o

    Travel Republic are very good, booked quite a few holidays/Hotels with them and so have my Parents - no problems.

    Get it booked!

    I've seen this hotel at around this price a few times, apart from Travel Republic's price the next best price I can find is £500. Chances are the price may increase after the rebrand especially if they are planning to do any refurbishment to the property. I doubt you will find it cheaper but it is entirely up to you whether you book now or wait.
