Thanks to "Better bidding.com" and Burbunny's many posts I was able to book a Nov.9/03 stay at Fort Lauderdale's Embassy Suites for $64. + fees with Hotwire. (I won't go into the details of that booking as bidding details are already excellently documented on this site.) As I am a "newbie" to using this "Hotwire & Priceline" technique of booking hotel stays, I was truly amazed at the incredible discounted prices on everything from motels to Five star luxury resorts. I usually do a lot of reseach online for my holidays and thought with "Expedia" and my AAA membership, I was getting the best out of my holiday$. Boy! was I wrong! I am hooked on Hotwire now! :) I was so happy with the ease of using Hotwire for the first time, I just used it for booking two other stays: One in Fort Lauderdale, and a second in Miami. Here are the details (Hope someone can use this): 3.5* Maimi Int'l Airport, Embassy Suites Nov.8/03 : $50.x 2 + $19.95 taxes&fees = $119.95(for 2 rooms) Amenities: "Customer Favorite", Airport Shuttle, pool, Fitness, Breakfast, Kitchenette, Business Fac.,Laundry. (*Note the ABSENCE of the "Suite" icon as was present in the Ft. Lauderdale Embassy Amen. List.) 2.5* Fort Lauderdale North, Townplace Suites Oct.31/03 : $35. + $10.95 taxes&fees = $45.95 (1 room) Amenities: Suite, Pool, Fitness, Kitchenette, Business Fac., Laundry. Cheers, and thanks again for this wonderful board! Stephen. :)
