First attempt at Priceline (EVER) - Nov. 20th

Saw a lot of successful attempts at the FLL Airport area for $55 at the Sheraton and was hoping for that.

Bid $55 for 3* FLL Airport - rejected

Re-bid $60 for 3* FLL Airport - rejected

Re-bid $65 for 3* FLL Airport - rejected

Tonight - Nov. 21st

Bid $55 for 3* Downtown - rejected

Re-bid $59 for 3* Downtown and 3* FLL Airport - rejected

Re-bid $64 for 3* Downtown and 3* FLL Airport - rejected

Re-bid $69 for 3* Downtown and 3* FLL Airport - rejected

Will keep trying as December 15th quickly approaches...any suggestions would be helpful!

Thanks,

Laura.

You can increase the number of bids you have on each bidding cycle... what is your maximum bid for this stay? Is your preference Downtown or Airport?

Our absolute maximum bid would likely be around $85-90. Since we are arriving in FLL around 9pm and plan to head to the port the next morning, we would be willing to sacrifice quality of hotel for a lower price (future plans to try the 2.5* in FLL area if no luck with 3*) and would prefer to spend under $75 if at all possible.

Our preference is Airport, only because of the possibility of getting a shuttle to/from airport and to/from port, but I know the Downtown area is close to both as well, so we have no problem with winning a hotel in that area as well if we can get a great price which would make up for the cab fare.

Thanks!

I'm not sure if you're willing to go up to $75 or $90 before lowering your star rating to a 2.5*, but since you have time, i'll just move forward and suggest the following...

At the 3* level you have two re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.

Select 3* Airport...

Bid $55, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $65, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.

Select 3* Downtown...

Bid $55, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $65, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.

Select 3* Airport and Downtown...

Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $80 (if you want to bid this amount at the 3* level).

Any questions feel free to ask.

Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

Staying pre-cruise December 15th for one night and looking for something cheap. Have mostly exhausted our preferred areas for prices $55-80 on Priceline for 2.5* or above so just checking all of our options.

Just wondering if there were any guesses as to what this hotel might be.

2*Hotel in Las Olas - Downtown - Port Everglades - $49

Amenities shown (same on hotel details page):

Laundry Facilities

High-speed Internet Access

Thanks!

My apologies! I was unsure whether or not I should split up my questions since one related to Priceline and one related to Hotwire.

Conferred with the husband and we decided we would try for the ESA since it was significantly cheaper for that evening, in the right zone and we would only be there for a short while pre-cruise.

Decided to try my luck with Priceline to secure a cheaper price via Savingsbarn link.

Tried 2* Downtown bid $37, rejected. Received counteroffer to bid $10 more.

Cut that in half and rebid $42 and was successful for Extended Stay America Fort Lauderdale-Convention Center-Marina. Dec/15 - Dec/16!

Thanks for all the help! Will create new thread for post-cruise stay.
