crahn8 Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Thereyouare, LOVE this site! It has helped me a ton! Now I'm at square one on a vacation for NEXT weekend in the Naples, Sarasota, Marco Island area. I saw you had the Hyatt and the Marriot listed, but how many stars? Can I get some recommendations? For example, Priceline vs. Hotwire? There doesn't seem to be much listed for my dates of 2/26-28. Thanks. Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 In the HOTEL LISTS the Hyatt is listed as a 3* and the Marriott as a Resort property (the ratings are on the left, next to the hotel names) Keep in mind there are likely others besides these which have been reported.If you'd like help with a bidding strategy please let us know your maximum bid and if you have a back-up reservation made (and if so, where and how much?)

Any ideas?Also a Sanibel/Captiva 3* for 247 with beachfront,restaurant, pool, golf and tennis nearby, laundry on 2/26 to 28. Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 For Sarasota please continue your current HOTWIRE SARASOTA thread.This Marco Island hotel has not yet been identified, but if i had to take a stab at it, i'd guess the Radisson Beach Resort as all amenties seem to fit.If you for it please let us know how it goes and please use THIS LINK to begin your purchase.

crahn8 Posted February 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 I decided not to go with Priceline at this time and am looking at the Hotwire hotels in Marco Island right now. Thanks. Link to comment
crahn8 Posted February 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Any ideas on this: Sanibel/Captiva 3* for 247 with beachfront,restaurant, pool, golf and tennis nearby, laundry on 2/26 to 28. Link to comment
crahn8 Posted February 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 I've read some bad reviews about the Radisson, so I don't think I'll go for it. Looking at Sanibel Island instead. Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 I believe the Sanibel Hotel is the Holiday Inn Sanibel Island.Please use THIS LINK if you decide to purchase this.

crahn8 Posted February 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 OK, you might think I'm crazy but now I'm looking at the keys. I've been to Key Largo, so I found one on Hotwire for 2/25-27 for $208, 4*, Selected amenities include: Beachfront, Restaurant(s), Pool(s), Fitness Center, High-Speed Internet Access, Tennis Nearby.Any ideas?

crahn8 Posted February 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Yep - I went with the Marco Island and got the Radisson, despite the "not so great" reviews. We'll see! It was 145 a nite. Link to comment
crahn8 Posted March 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Bottom line: don't be afraid of some bad reviews! The Radisson was lovely! When we got there we were offered a King overlooking the parking lot or a smoking suite overlooking the pool. We are not smokers so we went up to check it out and it was great! Everything there is showing it's age a bit, but the suite was $50 more (under 200) and had a full kitchen...full size refrigerator, microwave, even a stove! There was a King bed and a pull out couch, then a HUGE screened in balcony overlooking the pool with a view of the ocean. Awesome. Very nice. Only problem...it rained all weekend. Guess Hotwire doesn't cover that huh? Link to comment
