Priceline Hotel: 3* Ft Lauderdale (Downtown-Las Olas-Port Everglades) Riverside Hotel

[kklaws]

I used your site and bid on PRICELINE.

I bid $65 for 3* Fort Lauderdale (Downtown-Las Olas-Port Everglades) and was rejected. But, offered to increase my bid up to $85 and it would be more likely accepted. It was accepted at $85.

I was really hoping for the Hyatt Place Airport North, but did not get it. We are staying 1 night (pre-cruise).

We won the $85 bid on PRICELINE for a room at Riverside Hotel (on Las Olas). It looks like it has decent reviews but is in need of updating. Plus, since the Riverside Hotel does not have a shuttle, we will have to rent a car and pay $17+ for parking. Oh well, in hindsight, I should have probably gone through HOTWIRE.

So, we got 3* Riverside Hotel for $85/night (2 room) for 11/20/10 stay through PRICELINE.

Sorry to hear you didn't receive the hotel you wanted, but hopefully you can make this work for your needs.

Before renting a car and paying for parking i'd look into the cost of a taxi from the aiprort to the hotel and from the hotel to the cruise port. It may be about the same as a rental plus parking, and even if a few dollars more, will save you time dealing with the car rental counter at pick-up and drop-off.

Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding.

Enjoy your stay and cruise!
