Free Parking, Resort, Pet friendly, Beachfront hotel, Smoke Free Rooms, Fitness Center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business Center, Self service laundry, Internet access, Golf Nearby, Tennis Nearby, Spa Services, Children's actvities Although when I go thru process and click on betterbidding link it is for $20 less...but doesn't let me reserve that price saying no longer available. Pretty sure it is the Westin. .

Looking at two Maui properties on Hotwire. First is in Wailea-Makena area and is listed as four stars for $232 (44% off). 95% recomended. BetBid lists 3-1/2 and 4-1/2 in this area. Ammenities listed are Free Parking; Free internet; Restaurant; Beach Front; Fitness; Pool and Resort. April 27 is date for both. The other is in Ka'anapali area and is also 4 star. Freeparking/resort/pet-friendly/beach/smoke-free/fitness/pool/restaurant and business. Price shown is $213. My guess would be the Westin TKS.

Paid $101 for 2* Homestead Fort Lauderdale - Plantation 7550 State Road 84 Davie, Florida 33317...ammenties listed as tv, phone and alarm clock...sounds like a palace... can this be moved to PRICELINE side or should I make a seperate post there?

Amneties were listed as Airport Shuttle; Fitness Center; Pool(s); Restaurant(s); Business Center; High-speed Internet Access; Tennis Nearby

Airport ShuttleFitness CenterPool(s)Restaurant(s)Business CenterHigh-speed Internet AccessTennis Nearby. Airport region, pd $153 for Feb 12th, one night. Identified thanks to better bidding, price had dropped from $164 earlier in the day, expensive but I wanted a place close to airport with shuttle for early departure next day. used link provided.

Oops, playing around and I won something for Davie...will post details as soon as I figure what they are and where Davie is.

I would say pretty much all 9 zones listed with Coral Springs being last and only if neccesary. In order Fll Airport; Hollywood; FLL airport North; Downtown FLL; FLL Beach; Miramar: FLL West; FLL North...Pompano and Coral Springs last. I tried a couple of zones last night and went as high as $99 for 2-1/2* for FLL Airport and FLL Airport North and Hollywood with no results. My big fear with PRICELINE is winning a bid and ending up with something like the previously mentioned Villa Harding Suites. At least with HOTWIRE I can double check with yr site and avoid if neccesary.

April 29th 2009 (Wed) for one night

I saw that this morning for the first time and was all enthused. Thanks to yr site though I went away running...Bad reviews indeed. I guess I can PRICELINE a whirl. Was thinking of beginning at 3* and working my way down to 2*. What would you think is good starting off point dollar wise? $80?

Let me find date later today and I will post. Cheap? For a stay like this I usually look in the $50 range for a two star. Seems most of those thru hotwire are about $150 this time round. So at this point if I come in with anything under a hundred I'll be happy. As I say, fairly flexible, anything I can drive to in 30-45 minutes. from Lauderdale airport. I figure to be renting a car for the day as one day, one-way rental. The cost for this going doesn't seem to be too bad, think I can do it under $50. Coming back though (Feb 12) from Miami to FLL seems to be at least twice that. Hotwire doesn't have one way rentals so I've been looking on various rental sites. I had thought about a car for entire week which might be cheaper but then I'd have parking to consider. Taxis to hotels, then back to airport to catch a shuttle doesn't seem to be an option. Open to all suggestions. So in summary I will need a hotel in either FLL or MIA for Feb 7th. A 24 hr car rental oneway rental on that day. Another hotel in FLL on Feb 12th (not too worried bout that one, but haven't really checked either) and also another oneway car rental on that date.

Apologies, Florida trip never happened and wrote full review for Hartford trip that I booked on Priceline for $38, La Quinta Inn. Sorry for the oversite, I've sent a $10 donation via paypal for the oversite and thanks for all te help you've provided, both past and hopefully future.

thanks, decided not to go and to stay home and save money. The stay home portion worked.

Ended using PRICELINE and paying $38 (+ $12 for taxes) for La Quinta Inn ( 64 Ella Grasso Turnpike Windsor Locks, Connecticut 06096) five minutes from the airport that was listed as 2-1/2 stars. Parking lot with shuttle was right next door so I went there, although it was more than the signs outside would have you believe...I imagine the one across the street would be slightly cheaper. Business services, tv w/ remote, alarm, hairdryer, iron, telephone and 24 hr front desk are ameneties listed.

Cheap cruise thru HOTWIRE--check. Cheap flight to get there--check. Inadvertantly arriving on superbowl sunday and seeing hotel prices almost triple--damn!! If anybody has any suggestions for a cheap hotel in FLL or Miami for Feb 7th it would be greatly appreciated. I arrive in Lauderdale but cruise out of Miami the next day, so either is fine. Would be willing to go a little bit north from Lauderdale to stay the night. Any suggestons would be greatly appreciated. Nothing to fancy, just a clean place to lay my head for the night.

sorry, originally posted in wrong location... Looking at a 2.5* in Kissimee for $81 per night for Jan 7-18. Listed ammenties are 2BR, fitness centre, pool, kitchenette and condo.....and that is it. Couldn't find an exact match of listed resorts in this site. Tks.

Swissotel Chicago 323 East Wacker Drive, Chicago,IL,60601 (312) 565-0565 Map Check-in Thu, Apr 30, 2009 Check-out Sun, May 3, 2009 Amenities Fitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business Center High-speed Internet Access Tennis Nearby Spa Services $86 per night; Total $300.85 including taxes and fees for 3 nights

Or what I could do is wait and see Swissotel show up for $86 at 1am in the morning and grab it. Total cost including taxes for 3 nights was $300.85. Was never a doubt what hotel I was purchasing thanks to BetterBidding and I clicked on the link to book. After booking airfare back in December and seeing prices of over $200 across the board on every site, I'm like a giddy schoolgirl knowing what a deal I got. I will put in a more formal posting later today listing all particulars. Now....anybody with an in on cheap Cub tickets?

Will probably be booking Candlewood which is very close to Hartford Airport. I know they have park and fly packages for their guests that include shuttle to the airport. Has anybody stayed their with a Hotwire and do they charge you extra for parking for this option. I'll arrive on a Wednesday night and return on a Sunday.

Presently looking for a hotel for my first trip to Chicago. I've sort of settled in to the Magnificant Mile area and will be there for three nights starting on April 30th and leaving May 3. Right now my only choice seems to be a 4.5 star with food, business centre, internet and fitness centre at $126 which I'm okay with. I'm presuming this to be the Intercontinental Hotel based on everything I read here. Hotels with less stars are more expensive and ideally I'd like something a little cheaper. But based on everything else Isee including all sorts of "deals" at $99 at various places including SwissHotel don't seem to work for when I'm going. Is my best course of action grabbing this or should I wait things out and things will get cheaper. I've been burned before in hopes of getting things cheaper only to see things go in the opposite direction. Thanks for the help.
