Kreuser Posted July 13, 2006 #226 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Here's what I have: http://www.smartertravel.com/discounts/Save-Quality-Comfort-Clarion.html?id=16348 I went back and tried again, but I get the same rate as I did for over 60. However, we are getting 2 Queens and that is $15 or so more. Vada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beej Posted July 13, 2006 #227 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Vada, we got the same rate as the over 60 also, but as you said we have 2 queens which they call a suite. Not quite a suite, but you do have 2 beds, more room, and a little loveseat and table. We had a very nice room last year, same deal. can't go wrong. Tanya, as far as I remember they didn't have a shuttle back to the hotel.. I would check, tho, because if they are dropping off, they might just let you on to go back to the SI. Now, that really makes a deal Everyone Sleep Tight at the Sleep Inn:D Beej Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Ron& Connie, I tried to work that site myself and can't even come up with the hotel, Frustrating!!! I know some of the people that gave you the info and they wouldn't pull your chain, I know they were trying to help. When I got online to check out rates for Sleep Inn they were up and down with in a day of each other so maybe that's what happened. Sorry, Dianne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REXTER Posted July 14, 2006 #233 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Ron, with all the cruises under your belt... I really dont think you need a room under $100.00 dollars....Happy Cruising :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Fan Posted July 14, 2006 #234 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Ron, we are talking about the Sleep Inn in Dania, right I just got on www.choicehotels.com City Dania, Hotel Sleep Inn for Dec 1 there is a kingsize bed for $119.00. Now if this if the wrong hotel that's what I get for not reading all the posts. Dianne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KroozFoolz Posted July 14, 2006 #235 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Post #62 on this thread: Here's a link to a site for those of you that aren't eligible for any discounts....and others may want to check and see if their rate is cheaper. It's for all Choice hotels - Sleep Inn, Comfort Inn, etc. It's through smartertravel dot com. We've used this several times and have never had to show any ID at all. http://www.smartertravel.com/discounts/Save-Quality-Comfort-Clarion.html?id=16348 Click on the link above. Click on "click here" (next to the first dot) to go to Choice hotels online reservation system. Fill in "Dania, FL, USA" for city, state, and country. Fill in "Dec 03" for check in date. Fill in "Dec 04" for check out date. Enter number of adults, children. (I entered 2 adults, 0 children) Click on "GO" A new page with a list of choice hotels will come up. The second one (for me anyway) is the Sleep Inn and Suites. Click on the "check rates" link on the right side of the listing. This will give you the "significant organization" rates. You should end up here: http://www.choicehotels.com/ires/en-US/html/RoomAvailability?hotel=FL664&sid=shAm.cC$mMguhj.6&sarea=5599&sname=Dania&sstate=FL&scountry=US&sradius=40.23&slat=26.0519&slon=-80.1442&schain=A&exp=&scity=Dania&sort=&month=12&day=3&depart_month=12&depart_day=4&srp=SSO&nadult=2&nchild=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REXTER Posted July 14, 2006 #236 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Ok everyone.....calm down. Kathi gave a great link...you have to use the link and FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS...in order to get the possible discount if available. Remember the hotel will only honor what inventory is available under that discount code. Once it is used up it is gone. Just like booking a cruise .

Sea Fan Posted July 14, 2006 #237 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Kroozfoolz, well that was easy what's the problem!:D Just teasing thanks for walking us through it. I think Ron was looking for Dec 1, it showed $95.99 under significant discount. It was the second hotel but for me rate box was on the left and I had to use the dropdown inside it. Very easy once you know. Thanks again:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readytolose Posted July 14, 2006 #238 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Ron, not sure if this link will work or not but here is what I get for Dec 1. I'm not sure exactly what you need but I put in one night and 2 adults. Rate is $95.99 http://www.choicehotels.com/ires/en-US/html/RoomAvailability?hotel=FL664&sid=HOJ6.XVPmMgjYv.4&sarea=85281&sname=Fort+Lauderdale&sstate=FL&scountry=US&sradius=40.22&slat=26.121999740600586&slon=-80.14350128173828&schain=Z&exp=&scity=Fort+Lauderdale&sort=brand&month=12&day=1&depart_month=12&depart_day=2&srp=SSO&nadult=2&nchild=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very easy once you know. Thanks again:) Sorry I got confused about the date needed. Someone else needed Dec. 3. Wow, looks like the significant organization rate is no longer available for Dec. 1. It lists availability with the standard rate - but the internet user's rate is better! Over $100, but less than $160 coiran was finding earlier.

phabric Posted July 14, 2006 #240 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Just booked Sleep Inn & Suites for Dec 28 for 3 for $129.99 using the above site. Is hotel near 17th St near all the restaurants and stores. I know roughly where the Embassy Suite and shopping plaza is. Is the hotel in a different county, that is why it is Dania and not Ft Lauderdale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailAways Posted July 14, 2006 #241 Share Posted July 14, 2006 We too found most sites hit and miss and very frustrating - after about four pull-downs, go here, go there, I said enough!:eek: No good deals anywhere decent in April 2007 for some reason. When calling hotels direct, the rates were slightly higher than the internet pricing. We ended up paying more, getting the Holiday Inn Express on 17th Street. In a nice part of town, close to most everything, with great recommendations from previous visitors. We could still cancel and book SI in Dania, but probably not. However, We are happy for those of you who did get great deals, and once on the cruise, who cares anyway! After discussing the high costs of the hotels, we decided why should we skimp on the hotel when we are going on a cruise - may as well start off on the right foot - (The pricey one, that is!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SailAways Posted July 14, 2006 #243 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Just4kixx: I'm sorry, I was referring to hotels other than SI, and nearer 17th Street. Not necessarily in Dania. I did find some lower rates than we booked, but not acceptable. SI would be fine, I am sure, that is why I still hold it as an option if we decide to change. The computer is a mystery to me, and I do become frustrated with it very quickly. I do not doubt that other folks who are more computer literate than I do find great deals - I'm just not into all of the searching and such. Thanks for your help and research. Oh, yes, we are looking for 2 queen, non smoking, 3 adults - so that could make a difference too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phabric Posted July 14, 2006 #244 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Where is Sleep Inn in relation to the Embassy Suites and shopping plaza, I know where they are. Is it not in Ft Lauderdale since the address shows Dania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Goalie Posted July 18, 2006 #245 Share Posted July 18, 2006 WOW! Mr. Goalie- that sounds like a winner! I got $113.44 for the end of April. What dates are your stay?

camperhawk Posted July 19, 2006 #246 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Thankyou to all of the above posters who gave out such great information! I was originally going to stay at the Amerisuites, but kept reading "Not so good" comments. I then found this thread and just booked the Sleep Inn for Oct. for 103.99 for a 2 queen bed suite, using the Significant Organization Savings Rate. Thanks again. How far to walk to a nearby grocery store? A decent restaurant? Also Am I assuming correctly that they have free shuttle from the airport,the day of arrival and to the port the next day?

Sea Fan Posted July 19, 2006 #247 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Hey CamperHawk, I gave them a call since we will be there in April. Guy at the desk Say's there is a Mexican, Italian and Cuban restaurant across the street, Hope it's not all one restaurant :D Also a Publix grocery store in the same area. Yes they shuttle from airport to hotel, then to port. Hope someone who has actually stayed there can give us a report. Dianne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindanick Posted July 19, 2006 #248 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Its pretty new. Publix across the street, restuarants across the street, $ store across the street , and Walgreens right next door. No where near 17th st causeway. Its great with transportation. Enjoy it!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camperhawk Posted July 19, 2006 #249 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Thanks Dianne and Lindanick!:) I am so glad I booked now. Now off to find a decent price for air! That's probably going to be a little more difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KroozFoolz Posted July 20, 2006 #250 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Sea Fan - We recently stayed at Sleep Inn and Suites in Ft. Lauderdale and were pleasantly surprised. They have a free shuttle to/from the airport and cruiseport. They also had a breakfast available, not just continental, but an actual hot breakfast. I would recommend this hotel for pre/post cruise. That is how this thread got started - the OP stayed there and reported back here re their stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
