[invinciblesingh]

Hi All

This is the first time i am using this forum. Have been reading here from couple of days and really felt that you guys are doing amazing job helping other travelers.

So for my trip

Just searched for a 4* hotel in Fort lauderdale beach area using the HOTWIRE link in support tab for the dates Apr 9 - Apr 12 / 3 Nights - 2 Adults

Get only 1 choice for 160USD/per night with the following amenities.

Oceanfront

Smoke Free Rooms

Fitness Center

Pool(s)

Restaurant(s)

Business Center

High-Speed Internet Access

Spa Services

80% recommended

Is it B or the W or something else?

Also should i try PRICELINE as well? if yes, what should be my starting bid.

Thanks much

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

My guess would be the B. In terms of PRICELINE, would you be willing to accept any of the 4* properties within this zone?

Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

I am willing to accept any but the following two. What are the chances of getting these for the above dates. Are these available on priceline recently..etc.

4* Hyatt Pier 66 tripadvisor review

4* Il Lugano Suites

You can't exclude a given hotel in the zone when bidding on PRICELINE, you need to be willing to accept any hotel in the zone at the star rating (or higher) that you select. The Hyatt and Il Lugano were both reported to the board as recently as January and February of this year, but even if they hadn't been seen recently, they would still be a possibility... we have seen hotels 'disappear' and not won for a year or more, then suddenly appear again and start to get received frequently.

If there is a hotel you're trying to target or avoid, HOTWIRE can be a better option as you can take an educated guess as to what you may receive based upon the amenities shown before your purchase (or if trying to avoid a hotel which doesn't have a pool, you could safely purchase any hotel with a Pool icon knowing that it was not the one you were hoping to avoid). However, HOTWIRE usually costs a little more than PRICELINE, so that is the trade-off.

Let us know how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there.

Also, i am getting W hotel for 175 per night using my business account. Is it a good price..and is the hotel worth it.?

W is a really nice hotel. New and trendy, draws a younger "fashion" crowd. With "much drinks" by the pool on weekends You also got a mandatory $30/night parking there.

I think you can do better on PRICELINE when it come to price. But it's nothing wrong with W when it come to quality.

Please check and use our links (if possible) in the support page for your hotel direct purchases.

How much would you need to save to make an unkown 4* hotel worthwhile for you?
