dbcrescent Posted September 15, 2003 Report Posted September 15, 2003 Give me an idea for 4 star on the beach between Lauderdale and West Palm if there are any. Thank you.
thereuare Posted September 15, 2003 Report Posted September 15, 2003 Look at the map under the Priceline zones to show you the areas that each zone covers and you'll be able to see which ones are along the coast/beach.If you absolutely want a hotel on the beach, there's no way to do that with Priceline, although if that's important, you can with Hotwire.

dbcrescent Posted September 15, 2003 Author Report Posted September 15, 2003 Will do.....are the star ratings and zones the same for Priceline and Hotwire? I only found 2 4 stars total.
thereuare Posted September 15, 2003 Report Posted September 15, 2003 No, the star rating for the same hotel could be the same, but aren't necessarily so. As a general rule, Hotwire's ratings are either the same or half a star higher (but Hotwire also offers half star ratings at each category, while Priceline only offers half star ratings at the 2.5* quality level).

dbcrescent Posted September 15, 2003 Author Report Posted September 15, 2003 Ok, I'am going to see what I can find. I do appreciate all your assistance even if you do have that school up north avatar. :)
thereuare Posted September 15, 2003 Report Posted September 15, 2003 LOL :) Two other things... if you need two rooms, be sure to select that on the Hotwire screen (even when just browsing to see what's available) because you very well may get different hotels shown than if you had just selected one room. Also, Hotwire will only show you one hotel at each star level per zone (so you'll never see 2 hotels that are 4* rates in the same zone in the same search).

dbcrescent Posted September 15, 2003 Author Report Posted September 15, 2003 Ended up across the street from the ocean in Lauderdale Beach at the Holiday Inn for 45.00 per room. Wanted something on or across from the ocean so I started with what I would pay and used Singer Island and Lauderdale Beach. Had to go down from resort to 4 star to 3 star. But, there I am with an ocean view room right in the heart of it all. The kids will love it. Thanks again :)ps.....It made me happy to see I got it for 11.00 less than a previous post :)
thereuare Posted September 15, 2003 Report Posted September 15, 2003 Glad to read about another success story.To confirm you got:3* Holiday Inn in the Ft. Lauderdale Beach zone for $45/nite.Was this Priceline? Thanks! Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
