AaronJB Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Please provide a follow-up for your prior Boston Hotwire thread and Fort Lauderdale threads (post what you decided for those stays within those threads, then reply to this thread and we would be happy to take a look at the above listings.) Closing threads is greatly appreciated, as it helps others researching and keeps the board organized. For both listings above: I think there may be more amenities than you have included above. If you repeat your search using our BiddingHelper tool and look in the EASY VIEW TAB, do you see additional amenities beyond those listed above? If so, please confirm the full amenity set and we would be happy to take a look. Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

thereuare Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Best guess/comments for each: $137 per night - 4* Ft Lauderdale Beach ==> W Fort Lauderdale $136 per night - 3.5* Ft Lauderdale Beach ==> is this a realistic option given it's only 50% recommended by previous HOTWIRE guests??

trevms Posted November 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Thanks for that - the W is quite pricey is you add parking. Do you know which hotel this one is? 3* Hollywood - South Fort Lauderdale - Aventura area $128 per night? These are the amenities.....Thanks to everyone.

AaronJB Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Not certain, but a guess would be the Fort Lauderdale Airport. If you want free parking, definitely look for a listing with that amenity. Are you looking for something in particular in terms of hotel? Let us know more about what you are looking for (acceptable zones, budget, star rating and any other factors) and we would be happy to research and offer suggestions.

trevms Posted November 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 I land in FLL on December 23rd and need to find 1 night in a hotel as I have accommodation in Pompano beach from the 24th. I'm flexible with respect to the location - I like the beach area and can go from Pompano down to Miami - I'm renting a car. I really like Hollywood beach but accoms appear to be very expensive there. My budget is around US$150. Any ideas? And thanks for your help. Link to comment
thereuare Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 What time do you land? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
trevms Posted November 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 I land around noon. Link to comment
thereuare Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Keep in mind that if you land at noon, assuming no flight delays, and by the time you get your rental car and check-in at the hotel, it may be close to 2pm or later, then need to change clothes and get to the beach (at least it sounds like this is your gameplan) you won't actually get that much beach time on this travel day, so you have to decide how much of a priority this is for you. With the above noted, i did just find this deal (confirm your dates on the landing page of any provided links): 4* Hollywood Beach for $121 Business Center Indoor or Outdoor Pool Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities ==> but guess here would be The Diplomat Beach Resort Hollywood, Curio Collection by Hilton which is in your preferred zone, within your given budget, and gets great reviews (9+ from previous PRICELINE guests... although appears there is currently refurbishment going on which may or may not effect you if you're mostly looking for location and will check-out the following day in order to head to Pompano Beach) EDIT TO ADD: just noticed you're looking for 2adults/2children so any PRICELINE deal you will have to accept occupancy risk Why not the original HOTWIRE request that appeared to be the W Fort Lauderdale... this seems to fit your criteria so why not that one?

trevms Posted November 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 I guess the parking cost scared me off - it becomes $137 + $30 so my thinking was find another place for $150 with less parking cost. I stayed at Diplomat last year - very nice. What about the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach. Does that come up on HOTWIRE or PRICELINE ever? Link to comment
thereuare Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 1 hour ago, trevms said: What about the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach. Does that come up on HOTWIRE or PRICELINE ever? Yes, it does, last reported for an April stay here: Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach However: 1) you're looking for quad occupancy which will often limit your options 2) they charge $23 for self-parking (so not that different from the W Hotel above) 3) you can't pick/choose which hotels will be offered to you by HOTWIRE (or PRICELINE EXPRESS if you're willing to accept the occupancy issue) so typically not a good idea to choose a hotel and then hope it appears for your dates... better to see what is offered for your dates and then choose from what is offered. Searching HOTWIRE for your dates and 2adults/2children in the Hollywood Beach zone there are two 4* hotels offered for less than $150/nite... one is $141/nite and has a $26 resort fee (bringing you to $167 before fees/taxes)... the other is $146/nite plus $20 resort fee (bringing you to just about the same price) If you're willing to pay the rates above you could simply book the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach for $169/nite for 2adults/2children for your dates (confirm your dates on the landing page of the previous link) Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

AaronJB Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Are you seeing any listings of interest with free parking, or that are low enough that if there were parking costs it would still be within budget? Definitely keep us updated with what you decide and please do let us know if we can be of further assistance, as we'd be more than happy to research and help find the right property.
