Priceline Hotel: Resort Ft Lauderdale (Beach) Marriott Harbor Beach

[Trishs]

Hi,

My first post not sure how this works. I am going on a cruise and would like a beach front hotel Jan 6-9

I haven't been here before so no idea where to stay. I have never did hotwire or price line. Any help were

to stay or how to get the hotel would be great.

Thanks Trish

Welcome to the site. :)

In terms of guaranteeing a beach-front property, PRICELINE would not offer a guarantee of this amenity. You would have to search on HOTWIRE and see if there was a listing for your dates with a "beachfront" icon showing.

What would be your budget per night for hotel?

Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchase.

I checked and hotwire has beach in walking distance. I would like 4 to 5 * and up to $200 per night.

Is beach in walking distance acceptable or were you looking for beach front?

We would like beach front. I'm not even sure what beach area to go to since we haven't been there before.

Is there a way to find out what hotel the walking distance is?

If we went with beach walking distance would you be able to let me know which hotel it would be?

Looking on Priceline I think it is zone 7. Is that an ok area?

I have to head out for a few hours

Thanks for trying to guide me through this.

sorry if I don't know what I'm doing.

I'll try back in a few hours.

Thanks Trish

The 4* Hollywood Beach area HOTWIRE property mentioned above could be a match for either the Crowne Plaza Sian Resort or Westin Diplomat, but of those two, my guess is that it is more likely the Westin.

Thanks,

I thought I would try zone 5 on PRICELINE, it says I need to check additional areas, what do I do if I don't want additional areas?

Hi I went to the link and did what it suggested and scored. Thanks so much for your help. I got the room for 1/2 the rates on the internet.

What a great message board. It was my first time on PRICELINE and now I'm hooked.

Enjoy your stay.

[Trishs]

Sure will.

This is what was so helpful, I started biding at $100 and raised by $5 increments. When I got to $150 it asked me to raise my bid $25 instead I did your board suggestion and raised $5 and chose a zone that didn't have a 4 * This was so scary for me since I didn't want the other zone. But like the board said. It worked. They accepted my bid at $155. I check right after and found that the rooms were going for $320. So I"m very happy with it.

Star Rating 4*

Marriott Harbor Beach Resort

Fort Laughderdale FL

Zone 5

$155 per night

Jan 6th- 9th 2010

Thanks Again Trish
