LuckiStac13*Majesty* Posted April 23, 2010 #1 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Hi guys, Looking for some help. I am booked at the Courtyard FLL Beach for October. Some friends are looking to come along, but now, the Hotel's price is waaaay higher than when I booked. What we're looking to do is grab a hotel on hotwire...but want to get them as close as possible to the area I'm in. Now, I know this is hit or miss and not guaranteed, but my question is this: On Hotwire, would I be better off to select a hotel in "Ft. Lauderdale Beach Area" or "Las Olas/Downtown"? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueHerons Posted April 24, 2010 #4 Share Posted April 24, 2010 It sounds like your dates might be over boat show weekend or Columbus Weekend. I'd go ahead and book hotwire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Blue....yes, they are! October 29th-31st. Everything is so high, wow. So we're going to do the hotwire. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalcruz Posted April 24, 2010 #6 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Either the downtown or beach zone could work on hotwire. In the beach zone, I would suggest not bidding below 3.5 stars or they could end up at Ocean Manor or Ocean Sky which have been getting some bad reviews. Also in the beach zone they could end up as far as Oakland Park Blvd (Il Lugano), about 4 miles north. Any hotel in the downtown zone will put them within 2-3 miles of your hotel, but they won't be on the beach. Bahia Mar usually has the best rates by the beach and is just 2 blocks from the Courtyard, so you might check direct bookings there first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
