Yeah, I saw your comment on another thread. I did note there are a wide variation in opinion for this hotel, but that's the way it goes. Like the thereuare said, I will ask for a renovated room should my assigned one be poor.

I believe it's the downtown/las olas area. I recently got the Renaissance Hotel for $68 a night there in September.

First bid of $45 accepted! Wyndham Orlando International Drive Universal Studios - Sea World 8001 International Drive Orlando, Florida 32819 Check-In Date: Tue, Sep 18, 2007 / After 04:00 PM Check-Out Date: Thu, Sep 20, 2007 / 11:00 AM Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $45.00 Subtotal: $90.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $19.77 Total Charges*: $109.77 Doesn't look the greatest, but who can complain at that price! :)

First bid of $55 was rejected. Subsequent Re-bids of $58, $60 & $62 also rejected. Final re-bid of $68 accepted. Renaissance Fort Lauderdale Downtown Ft Lauderdale 1617 Southeast 17th Street Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33316 954-626-1700 Check-In Date: Thu, Sep 6, 2007 / After 03:00 PM Check-Out Date: Fri, Sep 7, 2007 / 12:00 PM Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $68.00 Subtotal: $68.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $15.66 Total Charges*: $83.66 I managed to get several free re-bids by simply upping my bid each time and adding in a new zone that didn't have a 4* property available. Just wanted to add that I'm delighted with this price, given I'd researched this hotel a while back and the best rates available to me as a non-US resident were in excess of $150. So, thanks very much for the fantastic information made available to me and others on this site - keep up the good work! I will spread the word! This may now become a new pastime for me!
