These amenities have previously been associated with the Hilton, but that property was last reported to the board at the 3* level, so i'm guessing it may have been upgraded since then. However, note that this HOTWIRE offer shows a Tripadvisor rating of 3.5/5.0, whereas the Hilton's rating is 4.0/5.0. This does cast a shadow of doubt over this ID, but doesn't exclude it, as the HOTWIRE info is only updated by HOTWIRE about once a month, so the TA rating may have changed since their last update (just as the star rating may have changed since last reported to the board).

So the Hilton would be my best guess, but given the inconsistencies above, can't be as confident as i'd like, and i wouldn't be too surprised if it was ultimately something else.

Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

Yes, i'm interested in the Crowne Plaza Airport-Cruise Port. What is the other way you see to play it? I'd love some help with this.

Thanks!

I have a bit more confidence in the 3.5* property being the Crowne Plaza as it was just reported in this Fort Lauderdale Hotwire hotel thread with the amenities above.

However, if you search HOTWIRE for 2adults/1child a 'new' 3.5* hotel appears in this zone with:

Shuttle, Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Smoke Free, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Laundry

... and this is the 'main' amenity set that has previously been associated with this property (the above appears to be a new alternate amenity set associated with this hotel)

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Let us know what you decide (and how you decide to play it) and how it goes.

[AbsolutHannah]

I booked the 3.5*hotel using the 2 adult/0 child for $74 +15.72 tax = $89.72 and it was the Crown Plaza Hotel.

Thanks for your help!

Congratulations on your success!

Glad to see you received the hotel you were hoping for and that you're happy with the results.

Thank you for sharing your win with the board.

I was trying to do this same thing but I think the price has now gone up because I don't see anything close to $75 with these ammenities near the aiport. I think it may now be $107 unless I am looking at the wrong one. Do these prices flucuate at all or only go up? I have only done PRICELINE once and have never done HOTWIRE but wanted to try.

[thereuare]

Prices fluctuate based upon supply and demand.

If you need help with an upcoming stay feel free to start a NEW TOPIC.

Just to add to thereuare's post, I had been monitoring this property for a few weeks as I was booking it for my daughter on a pre-cruise stay and the price fluctuated from $70 to over $80 - sometimes even changing several times during the same day.
