serfergurl Posted March 27, 2007 #1 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Hi all, I am fairly new to Priceline and went to book a hotel for Ft. Lauderdale. It asked me for the area, however, when I put in Ft. Lauderdale Airport it would not give me an option for a 4 star hotel. Should I choose Downtown Ft. Lauderdale? What area is good for getting to the cruise terminal and also has restaurants/things to do? Thanks for all your help!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bequia Posted March 27, 2007 #2 Share Posted March 27, 2007 On Priceline you can choose 4* downtown for the Renaissance Hotel or 4 * beach zone for the Hyatt Pier 66. Both hotels are minutes from the port. The Hyatt is the nicer of the two IMHO, more of a resort with great views of the port. There are no 4* PL hotels near the airport. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugger Posted March 27, 2007 #3 Share Posted March 27, 2007 is with Priceline downtown? I've not been able to get the Renaissance. Wondered about trying for a 3 star downtown? Can't figure out who their 3 star hotels are though on Priceline. THANKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptown Posted March 27, 2007 #4 Share Posted March 27, 2007 hugger, We got the Sheraton Yankee Clipper from PL for 4/15/07. It is a 3 star in the beach area. Got it for $105 + taxes but you may get it cheaper depending on your dates. It seems to be the most awarded for now but that could change. I think some people have been winning the Grande for downtown area. Dave:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tweety33 Posted March 28, 2007 #7 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Fort Lauderdale lodgeing we stayed at Sleep Inn (Dania Fl). Its 3 miles from airport. Free pick up and drop off at airport and cruise terminal. Free breakfast, clean, safe. Rates are at there website. We had no complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willysgrandma Posted March 29, 2007 #9 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I am happy with the booking I got at the Extended Stay on 17th 954-761-9055 hope it helps! I am at the Extended Stay right now for a cruise conference - it isn't bad. But it wasn't cheap either. I can see the Hyatt from here - if you can get that through Priceline, it is beautiful - right over the bridge with a magnificent view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugger Posted March 29, 2007 #10 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I have had this hotel booked for a few months - did get a decent rate of 89.99 the end of April. Is it clean - what condition are the rooms in? do they charge for overnight parking? Is it close to Total Wine and Publix? Is there a restaurant in the hotel? Anything else you think we should know about it. So far I've just not been able to get a 4-3 star hotel via Priceline and I'm up 50% over what I paid for one at the Renaissance last year.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
