I am trying to book a hotel in fort lauderdale beach area for the Sat. and Sun. nights of Memorial Day weekend. I was about to book what I think was the Westin Beach Resort (based on the icon description) for $97 per night on Monday. I went to confirm it and they said there were no more rooms available at this price. A hotel with the following amenities is now available on hotwire for $113-- Near Beach, Smoke Free Rooms, Fitness Center, Pool(s), Restaurants, Business Center, Laundry, Internet, Tennis and Children's activities (when I click on all amenities).

Two questions I was hoping to gauge everyone's temperature on:

1. Is this the Westin Beach Resort; if not, what is it?

2. What are the chances that the price will drop again? Should I jump on this now before the price goes up or be a little patient (I know there are no guarantees, just trying to gauge if there is consensus one way or another).

Anyone have suggestions for next steps? Should I consider any of the other properties identifiable through HW as they are comparable to the Westin?

I cringe at the idea of using PL because my sense is that some of the 4 star hotels on PL in the beach area are not as solid as the Westin (but I am so tempted based on the calendar of wins which indicated a win for this propert last week at $85).

Thanks for any and all thoughts!

I agree with you. Westin is top notch! Have in mind that you can get the Hyatt Pier 66 when bidding 4*. And you'll get the old wing if you hit this. And the location for this hotel isn't the best comparing to Westin.

Let us know how you want to proceed.

I think I will then use hotwire to make the purchase. Do you think I am right in my conclusion that the $113 property is the Westin. Do you have thoughts on if I should lock it in now or try waiting?

My guess is that this property is the Westin.

I can't advise you if you should book now or wait. Please read this link: Should i Bid Early or Close to Arrival Date

Please use the site's HOTWIRE link, and let us know how it goes or if you need any additional help with your stay.
