$108

I am sending in the Entertainment Book rebate form, so my final cost will be about $100. I'm pretty happy. I saw this hotel on the Travel Channel 'Great Hotels' show.

I was looking for a post-cruise hotel on the beach or in downtown fort lauderdale.

I first bid $80 for a 4* in the beach zone (on the off chance I'd get the Hyatt) -- rejected

I added Miramar and bid $85 -- rejected.

Then I added 3* and bid $45 -- rejected.

I added the downtown zone and bid $47 -- accepted.

Holiday Inn Fort Lauderdale Beach

Check-In Date: Sunday, December 12, 2004

Check-Out Date: Monday, December 13, 2004

The best rate for this hotel on the Holiday Inn site is $96, and the best on Hotwire is $60, so I'm happy. Despite some of the negative reviews out there, I've stayed at this hotel before and had a nice time.

Thanks, thereuare. You know, you're OK for a Michigan fan (I'm a Badger alum, myself).

I already tried using Priceline to get the Hyatt Pier 66 or the Mariott Marina. I went as high as $80. I didn't want to go any higher than that since the Sheraton Yankee Clipper is available on Hotwire for $94 and I have one of those Entertainment Book $30 coupons.

If the 3 1/2* on the beach was the Embassy, I'd probably go for it since we could then get one room as opposed to two rooms. (We have 5 people). Since it's more likely the Doubletree, I'll probably pass.

Thanks for the info on the Ramada. The appeal of the listing WAS the shuttle -- so if the shuttle isn't free, we're probably not interested.

We're also considering the Amerisuites (using the DD gaurantee, of course). I'm waiting for Valutrips to email be back. Do you think I would be able to use my Entertainment Coupon if I submit a DD guarantee claim?

Thanks so much for your help...I'll keep you posted.

I received this hotel on my first bid -- airport north area, 3 * $45.

We arrived late at the hotel -- 2:30am. I asked the desk clerk for a king bed, he said no problem. He gave us an executive suite! We had a separate living room/board room (complete with a large table that could easily seat 8 people, large TV, sofa, and a wet bar)! Although I probably should have bid $40 rather than $45, I was very happy with the accomidations!

I initially bid 4* Downtown $55 -- rejected. Added free re-bid for $60 -- rejected. 2nd free re-bid for $65 -- accepted.

I loved this hotel! I was really happy with the price -- especially for a weekend. I booked it on Thursday night for a Friday and Saturday night stay.

I needed to stay in Madison for one night. I wanted to stay either downtown or East Side.

I initially bid $45 for downtown 3*..rejected.

I added East Zone, bid $46...accepted.

I was really happy with this hotel.

Does Anyone have any ideas as to what either of these two hotels might be? We're looking to stay on or near the beach pre-cruise.
