joeyh78 Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Thinking on bidding on a two star beachfront in Hollywood, Fla. Any ideas what the name of the hotel or exact location? Link to comment
AaronJB Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Welcome to the site.Please look at the list of reported PRICELINE hotels in Florida Priceline Hotel List to see if any hotels have been reported for this zone - that will give you an idea of what you could *possibly* get. There's no way to know *exactly* what hotel you will get if you win a bid.Please use the site's PRICELINE link to start your bidding.If you mean that you're looking at a HOTWIRE listing (I couldn't tell by your vague post), then the list of reported HOTWIRE Florida hotels is here: Hotwire Hotel List Link to comment
yellowdog Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 joeyh78I'm a regular visitor in this area for many years now. My advice is to stay away from 2* or 2.5* beach hotels in Hollywood and Fort Lauderdale. If you need further help with your stay so please post your date(s), the zone(s) you're willing to stay in and your max budget/night.Yellowdog. Link to comment
joeyh78 Posted April 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Yellowdog,Thanks for the reply. my wife and I have been to the Fort Lauderdale area a few times. We are looking at mid to late July and a beachfront area. A 3 to 4 star hotel no more than 115 per night is what we are looking to find. Link to comment
yellowdog Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 joeyh78I need specific dates to help you. Yellowdog. Link to comment
joeyh78 Posted April 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Yellowdog,We are looking at July 15th-July 20th.ThanksI need specific dates to help you. But it's a very long stay so don't wait to long. If a hotel sells out one night will this destroy the complete stay for you. And you might have to split your stay.Yellowdog. Link to comment
yellowdog Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I thought you meant a longer stay when you said "mid to late July" :) I can see the,4* Westin Diplomat in Hollywood beach $120. This is a nice place on the beach.4* Westin Beach Resort $86 Fort Lauderdale Beach (old Yannkee Trader) 3* Best Western Oceanside $83 Fort Lauderdale Beach (you have to search for 3 adults to get this to appear)Thoughts?Yellowdog.

kristens4 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Yellowdog, is there a way that I know that I am bidding on the Westin Diplomat, not the Beach Resort? ARe they in different zones? I am interested in going 5/7/09-5/10/09, but I really only want to stay at the Diplomat. Are there other 4 stars in that zone?Thanks,Kristen Link to comment
