Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Ft. Lauderdale (West - Plantation) Courtyard

[TBQ]

(Apologies for the abbreviations in the title line - please edit if needed).

Note: The winning hotel is in Priceline's West Ft. Lauderdale - Plantation zone.

I needed a room in the western suburbs. My first bid, $28 in the Miramar zone, was rejected (I was trying for the Hilton Garden Inn).

I then immediately added the FLL West - Plantation zone and increased my bid by $1, and won the bid!

Thanks for the post and the support.

$29 for a Courtyard is a fantastic deal!

With hi-speed internet included in the rate at all Courtyards that offer internet access, i think they have elevated their standing in the hotel guest community.

Courtyard has always had a decent reputation, but by offering free internet access i think many users now prefer to stay at their properties rather than get nickle and dimed (and gouged) for services that they need and use (internet, local calls, etc).

Enjoy your stay.
