Priceline Hotel: 3* Ft Lauderdale (West-Plantation) Courtyard Plantation

[mikeyjc]

Tried for a while to score a room for this night at the Resort and 4* levels in the FLL area, without success ... started nibbling downward on 3.5* properties (again, no joy) ... then saw that others on the board had scored the 3* Plantation Hyatt Place for ~$45 and figured I'd give that a shot.

Bid $45 for a 3* in West Ft. Lauderdale - Plantation = declined, but received a counter of $58 - refused counter.

Bid $47, added FLL Airport North zone (free rebid) = ACCEPTED !

Not too shabby, eh? :)

Mostly positive but not stellar reviews on Priceline and Trip Advisor - but, we don't plan to spend much time at the hotel anyway.

I've never stayed at a Hyatt Place before, so I'd kinda hoped we'd end up there after seeing others had reported wins there ... but, I'll certainly take the Courtyard at this price.

No need for a beachside room for this stay; we're spending the first 2 nights of our brief "thaw out" trip down at Hawks Cay Resort on Duck Key (nailed a great rate there, thanks to Travelzoo).

I did click thru to PRICELINE from the link on this site.
