It was indeed The Richmond Hotel. $104 per night right on the beach, and right next door to where we stayed last year for $75. more per night. We''ll be very happy here. Thanks for all your help! We were sure to use your HOTWIRE link to book also.

Thanks for the reply. The 3* comes up when I search for 2 adults only. Dates are 10/29/08 to 11/3/08 Could it be The Richmond?

Last year for the same dates (booking direct) South Seas cost us about $165 pernight with AAA. I suppose I could include Miami Beach as a second zone - The palms would be okay. Also, the Intercontinental downtown would be good. I guess it's just a different atmosphere, but for the right price, I think we could be happy there too. Have any families reported problems booking double occupancy rooms with four people? You're right, I may not be comfortable if I think it will be an issue at check-in.

Thanks for the reply. Our actual dates are October 29th - Novemeber 3rd, and I guess we would prefer staying in South Beach. It would be nice to stay around $99.00. I did figure with priceline I could take the double occupancy and ask for two double beds afterwards. And yes, we would definitely consider South Seas again.

Hi everybody. My wife and I are taking the little ones along to Miami during the week of Halloween. We did this last year and had an awesome time. We stayed at the South Seas Hotel on Collins near Lincoln rd. This time we figured we could do a little better as far as rating and price if we use either HOTWIRE or PRICELINE. Can anyone recommend a 4 star or even 3 1/2 star that is somewhat family-friendly but not kid-crazy. We enjoy travelling there as a family but also appreciate what South Beach offers adults. Also not opposed to the downtown area or even Coconut Grove. I do believe the location of South Seas will be hard to beat though. Thanks
