Priceline Hotel: 3* Ft Lauderdale (North) Marriott

I live in the FLL area but needed a room for "Amateur Night" festivities :)

With the Orange Bowl fans in town, all of the usual suspects had jacked up their rates for NYE evening, but I proceeded as follows:

2.5* bid of $50, 55, and 60 all rejected

The $60 bid generated a "raise your bid by $17" option box. Instead, I added a re-bid zone and bid $65 (still at 2.5*), and was accepted with an upgrade from 2.5* to 3*

The property assigned is the 3* Ft. Lauderdale Marriott North. I'm quite happy with this result, as this is a good location for my needs, they have just refurbished their rooms and best of all, wireless HSIA is *free* :o

Total price with tax and fees was just under $81. The best rate listed on marriott.com was $209. My guess is that they were holding rooms for fooball fans, but decidedto release the rooms to PL.

All bids were made via the Savings Barn link.

PS - GO MICHIGAN!! (Gator-hater here :) )

Congratulations on your win!

Glad to hear you got a very nice deal and are happy with the results for this usually very difficult nite.

Thanks for sharing your win with the board and for using the PRICELINE links at SavingsBarn.com to begin your bidding.

As far as Michigan goes, i'll be rooting the whole way, but i'm afraid a win on Tuesday may be more difficult than a 4* hotel in NYC for under $100... it can happen, but not something i'm expecting! :)

Enjoy your stay, and GO BLUE!!
