sdm_nyc Posted November 23, 2005 Report Posted November 23, 2005 I think I get the idea, but would love some assistance, don't want to be cocky. Ft Luaderdale Beach area needed. Older family member can't walk much. I could get the Holiday Inn for $50 but I hear some of the rooms are horrid & they wont change you for love or money.Q1.Is the only Priceline Resort category hotel in Ft Lauderdale Beach area the Harbor Beach Marriott Resort & Spa? (if not, what are the others...)When I go to bid (have not done so yet) the red line saying I wont get anything disappears abt about $125. This is a really good hotel...but no way I can afford the normal rate...Q2 Any idea where I have to bid now for a 6 night stay 11/27 ---12/03?thank you!

sdm_nyc Posted November 23, 2005 Author Report Posted November 23, 2005 Thank you-sorrry for the double post. Checked the link- yes, It appears it is the only resort. $150/night is the most I could swing. Don't know if it realistic. If not, I guess I'd go for a cheap hotel & spend more on meals and such. Any advice on bidding strategies most welcome. Thanks.
thereuare Posted November 23, 2005 Report Posted November 23, 2005 To clarify, it is the only reported hotel in the area (i wasn't necessarily refering to the hotels in the hotel list above, i was refering to the text at the top of the list).When bidding for resort in Ft.

sdm_nyc Posted November 23, 2005 Author Report Posted November 23, 2005 THANK YOU for the clear procedure. I was not successful at $150. I also tried a subset of continuous dates at up to $175 and was not accepted not counteroffered either. However, used similar procedure to get the Holday Inn at $48. Great site- thank you.
thereuare Posted November 23, 2005 Report Posted November 23, 2005 Glad you found success and are pleased with the results.Do you recall the amount of your higest previosly rejected bid before this acceptance?Enjoy your stay.

sdm_nyc Posted December 4, 2005 Author Report Posted December 4, 2005 Hotel was above expectations. Clean, helpful -though vastly untrained-staff. Good location in good weather.
