Adam81980 Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 I'm looking at a 3.5 star hotel in The FLL Airport/ South area, listing for $74 per night on April 30th. Showing 58% off at regular rate of $176 70% guest rating with the listed amenities. Airport shuttleBusiness centerCondoFitness centerInternet accessPet friendlyPool(s)Restaurant(s)Smoke-free rooms Looking at the hotel list, I see no hotels in this area that match these amenities. Primarily, there are no 3.5 stars in the listed area that show them pet friendly and condo. Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 I don't have a good guess for this one, the hotel i see that best fits this description is the Sheraton Fort Lauderdale Airport and Cruise Port Hotel, although the Condo amenity doesn't really fit, so i'm not certain.

Adam81980 Posted March 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Further question involving Hot Deals. For example, let's says there's a 3.5 star listing for $74 per night in a select area And it shows 58% off of the regular rate of $176. Is the full rate of $176 the true rate of the hidden hotel? If I looked at the regular rate hotel list, can I identify the probable hotel by searching for the one in the said area with same star rating and same listed amenities, and showing as $176? Or, is the full rate that's crossed out and shows the percent discount unreliable for figuring out the hidden deal? Is the $176 rate shown truly the real rate? Or is it just a gimmick to pull you in? Perhaps just an average rate instead of the true full rate for a given night? it seems like it would be too easy to figure out the hotel this way? Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 The crossed out rate is an average price of hotels of this star rating in the zone for your dates, NOT necessarily the rate of the hotel currently being offered. Is there some thing specific that you're looking for in a hotel for this trip? What is your maximum budget (per nite before fees/taxes) for this stay?

Adam81980 Posted March 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Just took a Hotwire Express deal for a 4-Star in Boca Raton. One night, Saturday April 30th-May 1st for $82 ($101 after taxes) showing discount of 51%. Regular rate shown $167 Amenities listed: Free parking Free Internet Smoke-free rooms Fitness center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business center Internet access Golf nearby Link to comment
Adam81980 Posted March 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Thanks! I ended up taking the 4-Star Boca Raton Marriott on this night for $82. (Reported in separate thread) Just needed a hotel for one night after a late evening flight arrival. I think I got a better deal in Boca Raton than I would have taking this deal. 70% approval rating for this deal vs. 95% for the Boca Marriot. A short 20 minute drive north of FLL airport.

thereuare Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Congratulations on your success and thank you for sharing your results with the board... looks like a great deal for this area! I believe there may have been more amenities than you listed in your post, which would not have been seen unless you searched using the EASY VIEW TAB of our BiddingHelper.com tool. Can you please add a reply to this thread confirming the full list of amenities associated with this property (including any accessible amenities)... you can still view this information by going to HOTWIRE and clicking the MY ACCOUNT link near the top right of their home page.
