You are looking under Hollywood here. Is that what you want?

 

Westin Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood , 4 stars, will show it as 95% customer approval and Crowne Plaza I believe shows 80 or 85%. I haven't seen or heard of anyone getting the Marriott lately. But I don't look off season. The Westin Beach location is the nicest in our opinion. We have stayed at Crown Plaza too and it was nice, but not as "classy" as Westin. We'd stay there again too.

The Westin Diplomat usually (usually) has the 95% rating, and the Crowne 85%. (did I mention "usually"?)

I just got the Westin Beach as the unnamed 4* Beach on Hotwire for $128.00 for January 24-26,2013. If the amenities states "Children's Activities" chances are it's the Westin Beach, as it's not the "W". As suggested, check out betterbidding.

[eandj]

This thread is going in difffernt directions...just so people don't get confused..the Westin DIPLOMAT is in Hollywood Beach. The Westin is in Ft. Lauderdale. Both are beach locations.

 

The Westin Diplomat has a golf club location also in Hollywood. That hotel is sometimes assigned on Priceline. There is a shuttle that will take you the short drive over to their beach location to use those amenitites too.

Could be the Riverside. That's what we got when we bid for downtown. After I got it I thought SHOOT should have asked for cruise port.....but this hotel gets good reviews and it will be something a little different for us.

do you think that you can post what the amienities are being shown for the westin diplomat on hotwire? also the % rating and the location? we have the westin diplomat booked for feb also but at a higher rate and would cancel it and go thru hotwire if it's cheaper, so far i'm not even seeing the westin diplomat in hollywood beach at all for feb 13-16, 2013.

Feb is busy and you probably will not find anything for those dates. But... you can keep watching. ;) Look for 95% approval. Hollywood Beach - 4 star. It is the only hotel with that approval.

 

The amenities listed change a little occasionally. See post #6 here and use that link to check out the amenities for the Hollywood hotels

We paid $115 at the end of this past Jan., but only because it was a Sunday -Weds. The weekend dates we wanted were not avail on Hotwire. To avoid spending $300 a night on the Fri and Sat. we spent a couple nights at the Crowne Plaza across the street which was fine.

 

Seems we found that price in the previous August. So yep, keep your eyes open. Hotels are doing so much better again this year that to find great deals at premium properties on weekends is really a challenge.

Hi

I got it on Priceline, I bid $125 I also took out the cancellation insurance

costs $5, the other 4* hotels in the Hollywood beach area are

Crowne Plaza and the Marriott on the beach.

The total was $153 inc tax.

The rack rate for Feb 22nd is $400+

Good luck

I have been trying to locate the Hyatt Place FLL South on Hotwire. I have been trying to narrow it down. Does anyone know the exact specifications needed to get this hotel. Thanks in advance!

I did that before I posted. It seemed hard to really tell if that was the right one. Thanks!
