Priceline Hotel: 3* Destin (Fort Walton Beach) Four Points by Sheraton Destin-Fort Walton Beach

[kilroy76]

I don't usually like to ask, but the Destin/FWB Hotwire listings are giving me fits this time. I'm trying to book a three-star for one night, December 26. Three pop up:

 

1. $80 Free Internet, Free parking, Business center, Fitness center, Pool(s),Restaurant(s), Self-service laundry (90% recommended)

2. $83 Free Internet, Free parking, Beachfront hotel, Business center, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Self-service laundry (55% recommended)

3. $82 Free Internet, Free parking, Business center, Fitness center, Indoor pool(s), Pool(s), Resort, Restaurant(s), Self-service laundry (100% recommended)

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

I believe there are more amenities then what you have posted above as HOTWIRE has a new interface that does not show the complete set of amenities unless you use the EASY VIEW tab at BiddingHelper.com.

If you repeat your search using our BiddingHelper.com tool... use the HOTWIRE EASY VIEW tab and then click the GREEN BUTTON next to this listing, do you see more amenities (including any accessible amenities) then what you have listed above? This is what i'm seeing for each:

1)

Free Parking

Free Internet

Fitness

Pool

Restaurant

Business

Laundry

Blind Accessible

--> my guess would be the Four Points by Sheraton Destin-Fort Walton Beach

2)

Free Parking

Free Internet

Beachfront

Fitness

Pool

Restaurant

Business

Laundry

Hi-Speed Internet

Blind Accessible

Deaf Accessible

Travel Accessible

Room Accessible

Bathroom Accessible

Handicapped Parking

Roll-in Shower

--> Ramada Plaza Beach Resort Destin

3)

Free Parking

Free Internet

Resort

Indoor Pool

Fitness

Pool

Restaurant

Business

Laundry

Hi-Speed Internet

--> no guess

However, you may want to sooner consider these (confirm your dates on the landing page of each):

3 star Fort Walton Beach with Indoor or Outdoor Pool, Restaurant, Free Internet, Free Parking, Business Center, Fitness Center. My guess here would also be the Four Points, but at $78/nite, it's a bit cheaper by room rate and on an all-in basis.

There is also this 2.5 star hotel for $67/nite with Indoor or Outdoor Pool, Pets Allowed, Free Breakfast, Free Internet, Free Parking, Business Center, Fitness Center... my guess here would be the La Quinta Inn and Suites Fort Walton Beach

Sorry, I wasn't aware of the new Hot.wire setup, and by the time I tried the BiddingHelper.com tool (which is kind of nifty), the prices had changed.

 

I ended up bidding on Price.line and got the Four Points by Sheraton for $74 after losing bids of $62, $67, and $71. The amenities listed in my confirmation email are free Internet (in room), free parking, pool, non-smoking, gym, restaurant, and business center.

 

Thank you for your response. It helped, because I was "expecting" to get the Four Points from the Express Deals. And saved four bucks (woo HOO!) by bidding instead. 

 

Merry Christmas, and happy New Year! If you need me, I'll be on the sugar sands of FWB. :)
