carla63 Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 I am looking at hotwire, 3 and 1/2 star for $66 in Weston-plantation-Davie area, I am thinking the Hilton is the hamton inn in plantation which does offer free shuttle to port... we can not at fll airport until after midnight and can't use the shuttle services. We have 4 adults and 3 kids and we get in on march 20th checking out 21st to go to port for cruise. Can you tell me which hotel it is that I'm looking at on hotwire. if I don't use this option my next choice would be holiday inn express convention center on cosway. how can I get the best price for this... yea I'm a first timer for the whole hotwire stuff Link to comment
AaronJB Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Welcome to the site. :)What amenities are you seeing for this listing on HOTWIRE?Are any of the hotels on this list a match: Hotwire Hotel List ? Link to comment
carla63 Posted January 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 I decided to scrap the HOTWIRE Weston-Plantation-Davie idea. The $66 offer seemed great but after trying to pay for taxi or shuttle service for seven people after midniite, took all the savings away.I am sorry, I should be posting this next portion under Florida Priceline, but I can't figure out how. I would like to try PRICELINE to try to get the Hilton Ft. Lauderdale Airport. They have 24 hour airport shuttle.We come into FLL 3-20-09 @ 11:55 pm. How do I go about priceline for this hotel? Select Fort Lauderdale Airport,3.5* ?? Put in my bid. I see some are getting this hotel for $77. I did calll the Hilton Airport to ask if it was okay if I happen to "win" them through PRICELINE, would it be okay to have 2 rooms with doubles being we are a party of 7.They said they would be happy to arrange that. I would really like the Holiday Inn Express Convention Center, but I don't want to pay the $208 plus tax that I am finding for.Thanks for all your help. Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 I would like to try PRICELINE to try to get the Hilton Ft. Lauderdale Airport.With PRICELINE there is no way to target a specific property. While the hotel may currently say they're "fine" with accomodating 7 people in 2 rooms, they're under no obligation to do so should the hotel become more full between now and your stay and they feel the need to give you rooms with only one bed. As well, since you can't target a specific property, how would you handle winning a different hotel which wasn't as willing to accomodate your triple/quad occupancy request?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

carla63 Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 After studying every angle, I think the renting of a car was our best mode of economical transportation. I found a code for Thirty car rental 004M001010. I am going to decide on taking the 3.5* in Weston-Plantation-Davie for $66 ammenitiespool fitness hi-speed internet restaurant customer favorite iconDo you think this is the Sheraton Suites?Thank you for your advice. I will use HOTWIRE linkMy dates are 3-20-09 (1 night) and again on 3-29-09 (1 night) 2 rooms 4 adults 3 children Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Yes, the Sheraton Suites would be our best guess.If you do purchase for both nites, please post one win in this thread and then start a NEW TOPIC for the second stay... this will enable each to appear in the Priceline and Hotwire Calendar of Wins.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.PS- if you haven't booked the rental car yet, please also note that we are an affiliate of Thrifty Car Rental and please use our link for that reservation as well :) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment

carla63 Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I do see this listing on Hotwire as listed before 3* for $56 when I put in 2 rooms 4 adults 0 children. Do you think this the Holiday Inn Express I am describing as above? I was looking at the 3/20/09 dates. I need to add 3 kids on though. Link to comment
