Watch out!

Made reservations for Jan 12, one night. Fort Lauderdale beach, 3* Same discription & ammenities for a total of $164. ($143 + tax).

Turned out to be Holiday Inn Lauderdale by The Sea-N Bch in Lauderdale by the sea. . Checked out reviews...what a dive! Yellow water and the rooms stink with meldew, paint peeling, rundown neighborhood, etc....

Hotel rate was only $18 more than Hotwire. (average rate was posted at $259!)

Spoke to supervisor at Hotwire, reservations cancelled and will be refunded.

Have to commend Hotwire for cooperating...but feel the the hotel shouldn't have even been offered!

Thanks for posting your Priceline Win

Note that the hotel you purchased also showed a hi-speed internet icon, and the above does not, which may be a subtle difference which differentiates the hotel above from the one your purchased.

The hotel I purchased is the Sheraton Yankee Trader Hotel. I have stayed at this hotel previously, excellent location.

pelle31 - Sorry but I don't get it!

Was the Sheraton Trader listed W/Kitchenette ??? They dont have any rooms W/Kitchenette.

yellowdog,

I sent Pelle31 a PM with the same question... i'm guessing maybe s/he went with priceline instead, but i won't move to that section of the board until we hear back.

I apologize for the error. More than likely, I inadvertently listed kitchenette and laundry when I should have posted it as business center and internet access. I did purchase the Sheraton Yankee Trader via Hotwire for the dates listed (November 29-December 6, 2006) at the rate of $92.

I think the proper hotel features should be: Near Beach, Fitness Center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business Center, High-speed Internet Access.

If the mods want to pull this thread so not to cause further confusion, please do so. Apologies sent.
