ssuba23 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 I am in need of a hotel for 1 night near the fort lauderdale airport area. We are heading on a cruise from ft lauderdale, i was bidding in priceline but cannot get one for my price in the area. March 19/20 is the date i am looking for and wondering if there is an area you could recommend close to the airport or the port that i could bid at priceline, so far i have only tried the area code "4" on priceline.

yellowdog Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 ssuba23HOTWIRE got a 2* $63 with the mediocre TA rating 2.5/5. Nothing i would recommend unless the money talks. Rates are high for your date in the area. What would your max budget be for a 3*?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Yellowdog. Link to comment
Romelle Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 A bidder named hooliocah just got a very reasonable downtown hotel for a pre-cruise stay. You might look at that bid and see if it could work for you. I was just in downtown Fort Lauderdale a week ago and it really is a very nice area. While I didn't do it, I'm sure there are lots of good transportation options to the cruise terminal.RomelleTo look at lots of Fort Lauderdale bids, all you have to do is enter "lauderdale" in the Quick Search box up above. If you want to concentrate on a specific bidding zone, like "downtown", add that name also. Link to comment

I have tried with no luck2.5 stars and up$50 - $70Downtown fort lauderdaleFort Lauderdale Airport NorthFort Lauderdale Airport.I think the problem is my date March 19th one night.

thereuare Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 HOTWIRE has a 3.5* in the Airport zone for $83/nite... given your previous rejection at $70 for a 2.5* property, do you want to go with this given it's a big jump in star rating for not much more than your previously rejected bid, or continue to bid on PRICELINE?If continue on PRICELINE, do you want to increase your bidding to a 3.5* or 3* rating?The 3.5* HOTWIRE offer has:Shuttle , Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Tenniswhich i'm guessing is the Hilton.Let us know how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

ssuba23 Posted March 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Thanks but i dont want Hilton since they will not reserve me a smoke free room and its very critical for me. Link to comment

Romelle Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Have you gotten into the very first post in this area yet? The one with all the reported hotels and their amenities. That is what is used to for the best guess as to the hotel. There isn't a 3* Fort Lauderdale airport one with only fitness and high speed internet reported yet. Looks like you've found a new offering, or one of the previous ones has changed its amenity listing. I tried jiggling a bit, but with one adult and one child, or 2 adults and one child it still was the same result. I did get a different 3* when I went up to 3 adults. Romelle Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread....i was bidding in priceline ...Thanks but i dont want Hilton since they will not reserve me a smoke free room and its very critical for me.If you're bidding on PRICELINE how do you intend to ensure a Smoke Free room? Your best option is to use HOTWIRE and only choose a hotel which shows the Smoke Free icon.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
