mikebee Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Hi all, I am new to the forum and was wondering what is the best way to find in early august (bid) on a 2.5-3 star hotel in myrtle beach with oceanfront and suite capabilities! I was looking to pay around $80 a night if possible let me know what y'all think. Thanks in advance Mike Link to comment
AaronJB Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Welcome to Betterbidding. :)There is no way to guarantee a particular amenity when bidding on PRICELINE. I would suggest looking on HOTWIRE, where you can see if a listing with oceanfront and suite icons are showing. If you would like assistance please provide the exact dates of travel.Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches. Link to comment
mikebee Posted July 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Thank you. the dates of travel are august 5 thru the 9. Link to comment

I hope one of these is the W in fort lauderdale and i will surely book that one. Thanks in advance! Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread.I don't believe you have included all of the amenities for all/some of the properties above. If you go back to HOTWIRE and click the CONTINUE button next to each of these offerings and then click the "See all " link on top of the icons, do you see more amenities than what you've listed above?However, from the information you did post, and the List of Hotwire Reported Hotels i can say that none of these appear to be the W Fort Lauderdale. I'd redo your HOTWIRE search (make sure you include the correct number of adults/children as the offerings are likely to be different vs. searching for only 2adults) and as per above view the complete set of amenities associated with these properties. Then compare them to the Hotwire Hotel List to see if you find a match for any... if you find something of interest let us know and we'll try to confirm the ID for you.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

mikebee Posted July 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Thanks, I believe I have identified 3 out of the 4 hotels. The first appears to be the Weston Beach Resort in Ft Lauderdale. #2 appears to be the Sheraton in ft lauderdale and the #3 appears to be either the Crowne Plaza or the Weston Diplomat. With that being said and not knowing the final condo in palm beach, how might i go about bidding so the W in ft lauderdale comes up. Thanks, and i will edit my post to include all the amenities!Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread.1st hotel Ft lauderdale beach area hotel 8-6 thru 8-10 recommended by 95% $85/nt4 starresortnear beachsmoke free roomsfitness center pool restaurantbusiness centerlaundryTennis nearbychildrens activity program2nd hotel Ft lauderdale beach area hotel 8-6 thru 8-10 recommended by 90% $69/nt3.5 starnear beachsmoke free roomsfitness center pool restaurantbusiness centerhigh speed internet access3rd hotel Hollywood beach area hotel 8-6 thru 8-10 recommended by 90% $92/nt4 starresortnear beachsmoke free roomsfitness center pool restaurantinternet accessgolf nearby4th hotel Pompano Beach 8-6 thru8-10 $119/nt3 starcondo near beachstudiofull kitchenfree parkingdaily housekeepingchilds activitypool24hr front desklaundry facilitiestennis nearby Link to comment
AaronJB Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 There is no way to bid on PRICELINE to ensure that a particular property comes up; you have to be willing to accept any of the participating hotels that may appear as a win.Thank you for keeping us updated and for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

thereuare Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 As well, note that PRICELINE only guarantees double occupancy, which means you could receive a room with only one bed, and the hotel may be unable, or unwilling, to change you to a room with two beds... so if you use PRICELINE this will be a risk you'll need to be willing to accept.If you don't want to take this risk you can still use HOTWIRE as they will allow you to search for up to quad occupancy.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

mikebee Posted July 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Thanks, thats exactly why I am using HOTWIRE! Anyone have any suggestions on what that 4th hotel is? Link to comment
AaronJB Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Unfortunately, the fourth property has not yet been ID'd/reported to the board.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches. Link to comment
mikebee Posted July 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 could the fourth hotel be the wyndham Palm Aire? Link to comment
mikebee Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Thanks guys, I ended up getting the Sheratin ft lauderdale beach for $69 a night. Should I be able to upgrade to a suite with ocean view? Link to comment
