thereuare Posted May 7, 2011 Report Posted May 7, 2011 Unfortunately this property has not yet been reported to the board.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.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know whatever you decide to do for this stay or if we can be of further help.

happytotravel Posted May 17, 2011 Author Report Posted May 17, 2011 So I took your advice (except for actually purchasing the one night (8/1-8/2)) and did my search on the one night with all other parameters (2 rooms, 4 adults, 1 child) being equal.For the 8/1-8/2 booking a 4 star in Fort Lauderdale Beach with a 95% approval rating, the amenities were:ResortNear BeachSmoke Free RoomsFitness CenterPoolRestaurantBusiness CenterLaundry Facilities (self-service)High-Speed Internet AccessTennis NearbyChildren's Activity ProgramBased on previous posts, I would guess this is almost certainly the Westin Beach Resort & Spa. Would you concur?Now, for the 8/1-8/11 booking a 4 star in Fort Lauderdale Beach with a 95% approval rating, the amenities were:ResortFitness CenterPoolRestaurantBusiness CenterHigh Speed Internet AccessTennis NearbyClearly, a lot of overlap but certain items (Near Beach, Smoke Free Rooms, Laundry Facilities, and Children's Activity Program) missing. What are the chances this is also the Westin Beach Resort & Spa? We noted in the reviews on Hotwire that folks seemed to have privacy complaints about wood louvered bathroom doors and that is a feature Westin Beach Resort & Spa identify on their website. Appreciate your input.

happytotravel Posted May 17, 2011 Author Report Posted May 17, 2011 I have utilized the HOTWIRE link on the Board to perform these searches and will use it as well to do my final booking. Do you have any further input to my previous posting regarding the two sets of amenities above? Thanks for your help!
thereuare Posted May 17, 2011 Report Posted May 17, 2011 So I took your advice...(8/1-8/2)Now, for the 8/1-8/11 booking...These aren't the searches you want to do as purchasing both of the above would give you TWO rooms for the nite of 8/1. You want to search for 8/1-8/2 and then again for 8/2-8/11. Are the results the same or different if you use these date ranges instead of the ones you've used above?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

happytotravel Posted May 17, 2011 Author Report Posted May 17, 2011 I have preformed the searches per your direction. The 8/1-8/2 searches shows the longer list of amenities I believe to be consistent with the Westin. The 8/2-8/11 searches show the shorter list of amenities discussed previously for which I am unable to identify the resort. Searching 8/10-8/11 (the last day of the trip) shows the longer list of amenities consistent with the Westin. Safe to assume the 8/1-8/11 search would secure the Westin too? Thanks.
happytotravel Posted May 17, 2011 Author Report Posted May 17, 2011 I went ahead and booked 8/1 - 8/11 through the board HOTWIRE link and sure enough, I got the Westin Beach Resort Fort Lauderdale. Thanks for your help.
