Priceline Hotel: 4* Ft. Lauderdale (North) Westin

[JimandSusan]

Hi All!

We needed a room for 1 night for a post-cruise stay. I had repeatedly tried for the last 2-3 weeks to get the Hyatt Pier 66 for $90 or less but have not had any luck. It appears that this market is getting a bit harder to crack. I thought in late Oct. it wouldn't be difficult but I was surprised at how many hotels were already booked and had no rooms available. (This was checking Orbitz, Expedia and Travelocity out before bidding.) In fact, I found the Hyatt for $369 on one of these sites!

Anyway, we got the Westin, Ft. Lauderdale North and we love their Heavenly Beds, so I'm happy! We stayed there a couple of years ago prior to another cruise and liked it very much.

Check-in: Sun., Oct. 31

Check-out: Mon., Nov. 1

Offer Price: $86.00

Taxes/Service Fees: $17.00

Total Charges: $103.00

By the way, here's what the other sites posted as their rates for this property:

Starwood - 189

Orbitz - 219

Expedia - 231 + 33 taxes/service fees = 264.50

Travelocity - 219

Once again an informative post that i'm sure will help others bid this area!

Thanks! and enjoy the excitement of looking forward to your upcoming cruise.

Thanks so much, Thereuare! We've gotten so much out of this forum that the least we can do is relate our experiences.

I've learned and saved a lot...and will continue to in the future!
