Just purchased these for our anniversary. :^) 3.5 star, features restaurant, pool, fitness center, spa services, business center; customer favorite. If you looked at the customer ratings, the one rating mentions the bar in the lobby as having a large selection of beers on tap. Interestingly enough, I nearly purchased what I believe to be the same hotel earlier in the day for $74/night but I had to step away from the PC for several hours, came back, and it was $3 cheaper per night. Yum, hot dog money. (Those of you who have been to TO will understand :) )

Started out 3*, Downtown, $55.00, rejected Added Pompano Beach, $65, rejected Added Miramar, $75, accepted. Web rate at Embassy Suite's site is $118/night. I'm really happy - we were hoping for the Embassy Suites, as we just stayed in one yesterday. This is for our post-cruise stay. I tried this same bid on 3/30 but lower amounts - $45, $55, $65 and ended up having to wait 72 hours to re-bid.

For those of you who are just looking for a quick review: Hotel is very nice, would stay there again. :) Won this one for $60 on Priceline about 7 hours before we checked in. I called after my bid was accepted to request two double beds and a nonsmoking room. In hindsight I should have requested a queen and double. The hotel is located less than 5 minutes from the I90 at the end of a road with at least 6 other hotels. The directions from their website were perfect and took us from our door to theirs. Checked in at 10:00 pm, no mention of Priceline at the desk. Our room was on the 5th floor

DH calls and says, we're going to Syracuse tonight. Nothing like a challenge. :) Selected E. Syracuse, 3*, $45, rejected Added Fairgrounds, $50, rejected Added University, $60, accepted Current room price is $139 on both their website and Expedia. So glad this forum is here. :) Will post a review when we get back. Right now I need to pack!! Namaste, Heather
