Priceline Hotel: 3* Fort Lauderdale (Ft Lauderdale Airport (FLL) South) Holiday Inn Fort Lauderdale Airport

[beldwell]

I'm trying to ID a 3.5 star for 2/14 in the Fort Lauderdale Downtown - Cruise Port - Convention Center (Rated 8.0 our of 10) that is available for $201.  The amenities are 

·         Pets Allowed

·         Fitness Center

·         Restaurant

·         No Smoking Rooms/Facilities

·         Free Internet

·         Indoor or Outdoor Pool

 

I don't see a resort fee, so I think that eliminates the Element.  I don't think the Riverside has a pool.  SO, I'm not sure what to think it could be.  Any help would be appreciated!

3.5* Fort Lauderdale Downtown - Cruise Port - Convention Center (<-- CLICK HERE and confirm your dates on the landing page) for $201/nite with:
Pets Allowed
Fitness Center
Restaurant
No Smoking Rooms/Facilities

Indoor or Outdoor Pool
==> best guess for this property would be the Element Hotel

From priceline's description of the RIVERSIDE HOTEL they do have a pool, so the pool amenity would not exclude this property.

From priceline's checkout page for the ELEMENT HOTEL they do not show a resort fee... i'm not sure if the 'Destination Amenity Fee' (as the Element calls it) is bundled into the 'Taxes' line item shown by priceline or if it's simply not in the system yet given that this is a fairly new property.

Do you believe that the 3.5 star on Hotwire for 2/14 at $196 is also the Element?

Time got away from me, and I missed out on this deal.  Since that time, prices have gone thru the roof!  I'm still watching hoping to get something.  I just noticed a Priceline 2.5* Fort Lauderdale Downtown that is $215.  The amenities are stated as the following:

 

Free Internet In Room

Free Breakfast

Outdoor Swimming Pool

Airport Shuttle

No Smoking Rooms/Facilities

Fitness Center

Handicapped Rooms/Facilities

Business Center

Free Internet In Public Areas

Free Internet Access

Swimming Pool

 

The rating is a 9+.  Any idea what hotel this might be?

I'm not seeing the 2.5* when searching for your dates, i'm seeing this one:

 

2.5* Fort Lauderdale Downtown - Cruise Port - Convention Center (<-- CLICK HERE and confirm your dates on the landing page) for $246/nite with:
Free Breakfast
Fitness Center
Airport Shuttle
Restaurant
No Smoking Rooms/Facilities
Free Internet
Indoor or Outdoor Pool
==> Hampton Inn Fort Lauderdale/Downtown Las Olas

 

and for a higher star rating for just $20 more:

3.5* Fort Lauderdale Downtown - Cruise Port - Convention Center (<-- CLICK HERE and confirm your dates on the landing page) for $268/nite with:
Fitness Center

The 2.5 star that i'm not seeing (if you are still seeing that one, can you click on it and get to the checkout page... and if so, are you using any filters to have this one appear?) might be the Fairfield Inn and Suites Fort Lauderdale Downtown/Las Olas, but i can't say with any degree of certainty without being able to see the offer on my own search.

I can't see it when I use the Bidding Helper, but it shows when I use the Priceline search tool underneath it!  I'm not using any filters.  Yes, I can get to the booking page.

[thereuare]

I'm not seeing the 2.5* at $215/nite offer no matter how i search... can you provide the URL from the search results page and then the URL after you click the offer.
