Hotwire Hotel: Fort Lauderdale April 2013

[pmonty]

I have been looking at hotels in Fort Lauderdale Beach zone for one night next late April. The exact date is a couple weeks beyond the 330 day booking time frame right now, but when I can book a room I will do so through the above HOTWIRE link. I do have a question that hopefully someone can help with. I have read that some of the hotels charge "resort fees" upon check-in. Does anyone have any experience with the 4* Beach zone Fort Lauderdale hotels as to which ones do charge "resort fees" and how much these fees are?

Thanks in advance for replies. When I can post the exact details of my search I will do so to try to find out which hotel I would possibly book at. I have never used either hotwire or priceline services before, but I'm excited about using the services for this upcoming stay

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

Resort fees are unfortunately common at Florida properties - while they don't seem to be as quite as common in Fort Lauderdale, some hotels do charge them. There is no way to increase the odds of/avoid a particular property when bidding on PRICELINE, so when bidding on PRICELINE you have to be willing to accept any property at the star rating chosen in the zone/s chosen. With HOTWIRE, there is a "Know Before You Go" section on the detail page of the listings and this often shows an *approximate* resort fee if there is one.

Please let us know date/s of travel and desired budget per night when you are ready to bid.

Wondering what hotel this might be. Thanks in advance for replies.

Fort Lauderdale Beach Zone

4 star rating

April 28, 2013 one room, one night

$138.00 price on Hotwire + tax and fees of $27.00 = $165.00

I'm also assuming there will be resort fee charged at check-in.

As asked above, wondering what hotel this might be and if this is an especially good rate or might possibly drop. I did at one point see this 4* class rating with around a $107 price one day when I was looking around but the date I need was not within the 330 day time frame for booking. I will definitely use the above HOTWIRE link to book the room.

Best guess for this property would be a new amenity set for the Hyatt Regency Pier Sixty-Six.

My best guess for this property would be the Crowne Plaza... with a very slight chance of the Hyatt Place (this is usually rated 3* so if it was this property i'd be surprised)
