Linda/Ohio Posted October 21, 2007 #1 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I've been waiting to decide on hotels and get a good bid on Priceline. For mid November FLL both before and after cruise. I got 3 star hotels. Yankee Trader for $80 plus taxes. I got the Bahia Mar Resort for post cruise for $70 plus taxes. I am pleased--not bad for the prices. I know not everyone is comfortable with Priceline--but I've used precruise a number of times with good results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda/Ohio Posted October 22, 2007 Author #3 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Actually never really happy booking from afar. I am comfortable with both of these for the price paid. Good location. Older hotels. Some refurb. Since they are selling at $199 and $159--I can cope with the situation for $80. I do like the beach situation and central location for what we like to do.

If we had to stay for more than one night, I'd be looking for another hotel. Got it for $80 or $90 on priceline as well. To me it looked like a rundown hotel. Some smell in the room, old, stained carpets, etc.... and not too friendly front desk. Hopefully it was remodeled in the last few month! Good luck!

Linda/Ohio Posted October 22, 2007 Author #5 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I've seen a number of negative reports--although I personally contacted some people who won bids and stayed there in last few months. Some even stayed for a week and said their experience was that yes it is older, but other than the extra charges for parking etc., it was a clean hotel and they liked it. So-for a $70 win. I expect it will be fine. How is it that the FLL Annual Boat Show can be held here--and it still have problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
