bandpthoma Posted October 11, 2005 #1 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I have reservations at both amerisuites and hampton town center for 2/23 and 2/24. Amersuite rate is $99 and Hampton is $79. We have a car so shuttles aren't necessary. Which should I pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentS Posted October 11, 2005 #2 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Which Hampton Inn? Do you mean this one?... http://www.hamptoninnftlauderdale.com/ That Hampton Inn is just north of downtown Fort Lauderdale and is a very nice one, only a couple of years old by the time you're coming. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone without a car, but if you do have a car it's a great choice, and is a bit nicer than AmeriSuites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusinKimmie Posted October 11, 2005 #3 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Are you talking Amerisuites on 17th? I reserved for $170 - how the heck did you get $99? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtroeh Posted October 11, 2005 #4 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Valuetrips dot com. We're staying there next Saturday for $79. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentS Posted October 12, 2005 #5 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Are you talking Amerisuites on 17th? I reserved for $170 - how the heck did you get $99? Never book AmeriSuites directly. It's fine for the Valuetrips prices, but there's no way it's worth $170. AmeriSuites through Valuetrips... http://www.valuetrips.com/AMS/FL/F17.htm If your dates are during Valuetrips blackout dates then try these two, they're in the same general area, and a bit nicer...

kelmac Posted October 12, 2005 #7 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Are you talking Amerisuites on 17th? I reserved for $170 - how the heck did you get $99? Amerisuites on 17th street is only $66 + tax on hotwire. You might even get it cheaper on priceline-- the only 2 1/2 star hotel downtown area.

crusinKimmie Posted October 12, 2005 #8 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I've been trying Priceline anything 2.5 above for downtown with maximum bid at this point at $67. Been doing it for about 2 months now. I don't need anything until February 24th, but didn't want to risk not getting a room in the downtown area - so booked it directly through Amerisuites just to insure we had a room. We need 3 rooms because we are traveling with our kids and grandkids. I just went into Hotwire and it said they had NOTHING in the downtown area for my date. Most of the gang aren't getting in until after 10:00 p.m. and we're leaving at 10:00 this next a.m. for Port of Miami so don't want to spend a ton. Would rather save it for excursions, etc. Thanks for all of your help and input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandpthoma Posted October 12, 2005 Author #9 Share Posted October 12, 2005 What date is amerisuites $66? The time we have been talking about is 2/2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincent Posted October 12, 2005 #10 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Is the Americsuites within walking distance of the water taxi? Beach? shopping and dining? Thanks so much for your help ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelmac Posted October 12, 2005 #11 Share Posted October 12, 2005 What date is amerisuites $66? The time we have been talking about is 2/2006. I was looking at Sat/Sun in March, 2006. Just depends on your dates in Feb. On hotwire, the amerisuites is the only 2 1/2 star hotel in the Ft Lauderdale/Hollywood airport area. On priceline, the amerisuites is the only 2 1/2 star property in the downtown area. Weekend days in Feb do seem to be a bit higher (2/19/06)--was $86 + tax. Good Luck!

AmeriSuites is in a great location with many many restaurants, shops, grocery, drug & liquor stores within easy walking distance. Publix is a block east, Outback and Del Rio Tex Mex restaurants are in the parking lot. It's a bit farther to the Water Taxi since AmeriSuites is the farthest west of the SE 17th Street hotels, but it's certainly walkable. You can get to the beach easily using the Water Taxi.

KreinKrunker Posted October 13, 2005 #13 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Are you sure that it's the Amerisuites on 17th St that comes up for $86. When I tried Hotwire, I got a 2.5 star, with a price of $86. The only thing is that the listed amenities only included a complimentary breakfast. It did not include a pool, shuttle, or the orange 'S' to show that it's a suite. This leads me to believe that it is not the Amerisuites on 17th. I think it is actually in the Los Olas-Downtown area and it comes up on hotwire for $181, listed as 'customer favorite'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikkiGarcia Posted October 13, 2005 #14 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Use valuetrips to book Amerisuites. We stayed there 9/23 and it was a very good value for $69 room rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KreinKrunker, You are correct!! Not sure how I got off track? I'm so use to Priceline's coding for "Downtown" FLL. :rolleyes: :) Thanks for the update.
