Brr! Freezing in Chicago, just writing this post makes me warmer! I need to book a hotel in Ft. Lauderdale, one night, 2/22 (Sat.) near downtown which I understand is close to Port Everglades. Area: Ft. Lauderdale, Downtown Desired rating: 3.5* Desired rate: $110 Current 3.5* rates for desired area: Crowne Plaza Ft. Lauderdale Airport/Cruise, $277, Riverside Hotel, $234/nt (a few other hotels in the area are at capacity for that night, so that's either a busy cruise weekend or it's just difficult to get a Saturday night only) Free rebids: Airport North, Hollywood, Pompano Beach, Miramar The only reason I want to bid is because the express rates for that area are at least $191/nt. Even the 3* Holiday Inn Express Ft. Lauderdale is listed at $269. Thanks for your help! B)
