bbiggar Posted July 20, 2005 #1 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I had researched to death it seems on hotels available on or near the beach in FLL before our cruise next Jan. 7 and decided to go ahead with the rate of $125 on hotwire. It did turn out to be the Holiday Inn that I thought it was. I have read many reviews good and bad about this hotel, but decided most people writing the bad make a moutain out of a mole hill. We had stayed at not so good reviewed hotels in the past and didn't seem near as bad as some say so we'll be taking a chance again. (only one night after all) Any comments from anyone here on cruise criti. Most of you have honest reviews and would welcome any comment good or bad.

TrentS Posted July 20, 2005 #2 Share Posted July 20, 2005 There are two Holiday Inns on Fort Lauderdale Beach, one of them is pretty bad, the other is okay... This would be the better of the two, not 5-star by any means, but fine for one night, the location is great, and all the rooms are ocean view... http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/hi/1/en/hd/fllsb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzkrazy2 Posted July 21, 2005 #3 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I just went thru priceline for the Ft. Lauderdale beach area and got the Holiday Inn for $55, I put in 3* beach area. Can you cancel hotwire bookings? If so, try priceline and see what you get then you can cancel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbiggar Posted July 22, 2005 Author #4 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Thanks cruzkrazy2, but I had already bid on priceline for $105 for the date I need for a 3* beach. My date has nothing cheap really anywhere. You can't cancel hotwire booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you cancel hotwire bookings? If so, try priceline and see what you get then you can cancel. What is the date for your booking? I have been trying for downtown or beach and have even lowered to 2.5* with no luck on priceline. My dates are late January and early February.

cruzkrazy2 Posted July 27, 2005 #6 Share Posted July 27, 2005 We are going Sept. 16th. Maybe that is why we got it at that price.
