The Art Hotel, Denver

Amenities - Boutique hotel

thanks for this board - it saved me about $100... 

Didn't book - updating post to close out the question.

Change of plans - Ft Lauderdale/Miami is getting too expensive.  Got a cheaper flight (Southwest allows changes for free) and lower hotel rates in Orlando.  will spend the time in Orlando and drive to Ft Lauderdale for our cruise.

Followed up on the other thread.

Are you willing to spend $300+ per nite for this Fort Lauderdale stay? -

realistically, probably not -  $225 is a good price point as there will probably be $50 in taxes/fees per night.  I'm looking for the Westin or the B Ocean (formerly the Sheraton Yankee Clipper) or the Sonesta Ft Lauderdale (fomerly the B Ocean).

Follow up - never booked either hotel - ended up renting an apartment.

looking for a hotel closer to Camden Yards - but this is good enough as the reviews on tripadvisor look good.

this will be my first time staying here - i usually get the Westin Beach through HOTWIRE (same ammenities) - hope it works out. I like this location near Bonnet House, Hugh Taylor State Park, and the mall.

I did use the links on this website to start my search -- note that i had been searching this same search for a few days.

love this website - Thanks :D

Thanks - that makes huge difference.

Love this website - keep up the good work!

note, that not all these ammenities were listed when i booked. How do i get these to show up in the initial listing (before booking)?

Note that before buying, the ammenity list was a series of "icons" with descriptions, I couldn't copy and paste. But this list in "my trips" is plain text.

oops - can you edit the thread header?

it's a 4 star not 5.

Self-Service Laundry

About that self service laundry <-- (if you hover over this ammenity, it says something like "coin-op laundry" this is a lie, i booked this same hotel thru Hotwire last year http://www.betterbidding.com/index.php?showtopic=158596, and this appeared on the ammennity list, I asked about this at the hotel, and they said they had laundry service (like dry cleaning that they send out). I don't really care about the laundry, but are they intentionally lying to throw sites like this off? Actually, in my case, it lead me to believe it could only be the Westin.

I like this hotel... but a couple of issues with this hotel:

1) valet parking - was something like $25-30,

2) if staying with someone else in the room, make sure you are very familiar with them. The designers of this hotel made the trendy decision to put a "shutter" window in the bathroom and having the bathroom door made of the same shade/shutter material. I'm not describing this correctly, but the point is that the person in the room can hear EVERYTHING that's going on in the bathroom. and i mean EVERYTHING.

Actually, it's a great hotel. Across from the beach, there's a starbucks with wifi on the first floor, and Shula's restaurant is great.

went to Hotwire and saw a 4* for 165... i decided to book that since I was pretty sure it was the Westin.

Failed bidding... for 1 night pre-cruise on a friday in jan. (1/3/2014)

looking for 4 star in Ft lauderdale beach area - would really like Sheraton beach, but would take any of the 4*

started with PRICELINE link at betterbidding

first bid at 91.... with 4 or 5 bids (by adding zones without 4 star hotels) until i quit for the night when i was rejected at $134 (taxes and fees would equal around 160ish)

any advice when i go back to bid?

will probably choose downtown 4 star -- and do the same process all over again (excluding beach).
