Recieved this hotel for $ 60 through Pricline after bidding for about a week. I'm looking forward to our stay here.

No problem, Glad to help. I also noticed tonight what I believe is the Dolphin is coming up on Hotwire for $65 a night 8/14-8/17

Would you mind sharing what makes you think the 4* hotel for $65 on these dates is the Dolphin? Just a hunch or is there something unique in the icon list? I'm pretty sure that the Wyndham is showing up for $69 around the same dates.

This may have no bearing on the question, but ......

In last Sunday's Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel, there was a color insert of travel specials for different Florida regions (I guess it was aimed at the people wanting a close-by getaway). The Swan and Dolphin had a large ad advertising rates "as low as $129".

I don't remember the date parameters, however, it seems like many properties are disocunting heavily.

Another possible contributing factor is the fact that two brand-new upscale/luxury hotels have just opened at the Orlando Lakes development - the Ritz-Carlton and the J.W. Marriott. The latter, especially, might well be seen as a direct competitor to the Swan & Dolphin...
