judcost Posted February 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Or, i'm Also looking to get Hyatt House for the same dates 2 adultes 2 kids. Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 I believe there are likely 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 search using the EASY VIEW TAB of our BiddingHelper.com tool. (always use this tool for your searches/purchases) If you repeat your search using our BiddingHelper.com tool... use the HOTWIRE EASY VIEW tab and then click the GREEN BUTTON next to each of these listings, do you see more amenities (including any accessible amenities) then what you have listed above? Using the method described above this is what i'm seeing and my best guess for each: 3* Fort Lauderdale Beach for $135.00 Free Internet Resort Pet Friendly Beachfront Smoke Free Pool Restaurant Business Laundry Hi-Speed Internet Golf Spa ==> Ocean Manor Beach Hotel (regardless, do you think you would really be happy with a hotel where only 40% of the previous HOTWIRE guests would recommend the property... especially when you're looking for something like/similar to the Hyatt House which gets excellent reviews??) 4* Port Everglades for $161.00 Pet Friendly Near Beach Smoke Free Fitness Pool Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Golf Travel Accessible Room Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower ==> Renaissance Fort Lauderdale Cruise Port Hotel I am seeing what may (i will have to do further research) be the Hyatt House Fort Lauderdale Airport South for $230/nite... is this within your budget for this property and would you want to purchase at this price at this point in time? If you're hoping for a suite-type place i'm also seeing this offer: 3* FLL Intl Airport South for $151.00 Complimentary Breakfast Free Parking Free Internet Shuttle Smoke Free Fitness Pool Business Laundry Hi-Speed Internet ==> my guess for this one would be the Comfort Suites Fort Lauderdale Airport South and Cruise Port which gets good reviews (and should it not be this property, you're assured of a 'good' stay given the 4.5/5.0 TA rating that HOTWIRE shows for this property) Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

judcost Posted February 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 The trip is for 2 adultes, 2 kids and a baby. It's a pre-post cruise so if the shuttles are included from and to airport and from and to Port Everglades, it would be best. I don't think I want 40% recommendation. Where do you see the 40% is it on tripadvisor ? Link to comment
judcost Posted February 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 I used the easy view, thanks. I also found this one 2.5*, 96$, 65% recommended FULL AMENITIES: Free parking Free breakfast, Free Internet, Airport shuttle, Smoke-free rooms, Pool(s), Business center, Self-service laundry, Internet access, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking I would also like Best Western Plus or Hampton Inn. Hyatt for 230$ is a little too high. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Just to confirm, are you seeing the 2.5* in FL Beach? I'm not seeing a 2.5* in that zone when searching for these dates.

I'm guessing the $96 hotel above is in the Airport South zone: 2.5* FLL Intl Airport South for $96.00 Free Parking Complimentary Breakfast Free Internet Shuttle Smoke Free Pool Business Laundry Hi-Speed Internet Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking ==> Quality Inn and Suites Airport/Cruise Port South... with a 3.0/5.0 TA rating would this be acceptable?

judcost Posted February 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Plane arrives around 11am on the 5th in FLL. I would go to 150$. To be able to use the 30$ off it as to be on the same reservation? I need to made another reservation for our post-cruise, 11-12th march Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 58 minutes ago, judcost said: I would go to 150$ Still somewhat less than the $188/nite of one of the first property... please only ask us to research hotels that you're seriously considering for purchase and are within your budget. The minimum purchase for the current BetterBidding $30 off HOTWIRE hotels promotion be met in one transaction (so in one stay)... taxes/fees can be used to meet the minimum amount, but not resort fees since those are paid directly to the hotel. You would need to reach about $165/nite room rate use the promo... do you want to reach to that amount or retreat at less than $150/nite? (if you fall short of the $200 minimum you could always add travel insurance to your purchase which can boost your price by $5-$10 and put you over the threshold) Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

judcost Posted February 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 188$ is too high. I would want room under 150$US (i have to consider that I'm paying in canadian unfortunately). Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 7 minutes ago, judcost said: 188$ is too high Yes, i understand, but our request is that you only ask for hotels that are within your budget and ready for purchase... there was not much point in us in researching the $188/nite property in your first post since it was not within your budget (not to mention that we then looked for other options that were around this same price point, assuming it was within reason of what you wanted to pay) Maybe this offer (confirm your dates on the landing page): 3.5* Fort Lauderdale Downtown - Cruise Port - Convention Center for $141 Business Center Restaurant Airport Shuttle Free Internet Indoor or Outdoor Pool Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities ==> best guess here would be the Crowne Plaza Hotel Ft. Lauderdale Airport/Cruise. As this is PRICELINE EXPRESS technically your reservation would be for double occupancy, but this property let's you choose the room configuration and you could choose a room with 2 Queen Beds for $148, and i don't think you would have any issues showing up with your kids since the room can easily accommodate your needs.

thereuare Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 So what are your thoughts of the PRICELINE EXPRESS offer above guessed to be the Crowne Plaza?

judcost Posted February 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 That was a great choice and that's what I booked via your link on PRICELINE EXPRESS. It was the Crown Plaza. Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Congratulations on your success! Glad to see you received the hotel you were hoping and that this will work well for your plans this trip. Good thing you picked it up when you did as it may have been the last room at this price... clicking the same link above now gives a 'no longer available' message. If you'd like help with the post-cruise part of your stay feel free to start a NEW TOPIC. Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your purchase.
