thereuare Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 This 3* property has not yet been reported to the board, but with only a 60% HOTWIRE user recommendation and 3.0 and 3.5 across the board for most criteria HOTWIRE asks users for feedback on, i'd recommend looking elsewhere. Not sure how tight your budget is but the 3.5* for $75/nite is 90% recommended and has most 4.0's across the board on the individual criteria. (i'm guessing this is the Sheraton Suites with Suite, Shuttle, Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Hi-Speed Internet, Smoke Free)If your budget is tight and you're really interested in the 3*, and since this an extended stay, you could see if this same property is offered for the first (or last) nite of your stay and then again for the balance. If so, you could purchase the solo nite in order to "look behind the curtain". If you're happy with the results purchase the remaining nites, if not, make alternate plans for the balance of your stay.

jostty Posted December 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 I've been hoping to stay about $60 per nite. I agree with you that the *3.5 star looks like the Sheraton Suites. I've stayed there 2-3 timesand enjoyed my stay. I think it has done some remodeling since I was there last. In line with your directions I will need 1 room for 3/6-8/11 but was going to take care of 3/8-15 first since 3/6-8are a little more flexible.I will probably take a shot with Priceline and check back.

jostty Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I started bidding for a *4 in either Tampa Airport South-Westshore or TampaAirport West(Rocky Point Area). Did not have any luck from $48-60 with freerebids jumping $2 each bid. Did the same for *3.5 in Westshore area. At $52got a counter offer of $67. Kept bidding and got the Sheraton Suites at $60for 3/8-15 two rooms. I'm very happy with that and anxious to see how the rooms were redone. Used the PRICELINE link. Thanks for your help. Will still need to book 3/16-18 but will probably wait a while. Link to comment
