I want to make a reservation this week. Could you tell me what hotels at u$200/night are avaiable at priceline? (at express deals) or hotwire? Between 200 and 215, I'll book.

U$208 is a little bit more than I like... Because after all, we'll have the taxes and other things. Is this hotel very good? This price is in Hotwire or Priceline? Do you think that it's better (but safe) to expect and book with just a month or a month and a half in advance? I'm seeing very good deals for closer dates, but in the most cases is just for one day. I don't plan to be moving around the city with my heavy shopper-luggage.

Wow, thanks for the tip about rental cars on Hot.wire! Actually, we are going to shop around Miami, and the outlets seems to be faaaar away from everything. We want to go to Miami Beach as well, but i don't think we'll book a hotel there, due to its price. NY is really eating our money! (remember, Brazillian real is ~2,30/ U$1) It wasn't in our plans to pay U$300 for a simple/tiny room with nothing besides a shower and a bed. About caipirinha, try to make it with vodka! It's easier to find outside Brazil, and I think the after taste it's better.

Hello! Me and my husband are going to USA from sep 09 to sep 20. Our trip starts in Miami (09sep - 14sep) and ends on NYC (14sep -20sep) We are the kind of budget travellers who can accept pay more if more comfort and luxury are offered at a acceptable price. (we would REALLY like a refrigerator in our rooms) In Miami, i was looking for car + hotel at HOTWIRE, and found really good prices. On the category hotel I was looking for + economy car, I found deals between 600 - 800 dolars, which is 40% less than booking through normal ways. So, i was wondering if is safe to make the reservation through Hotwire. My fear is go to the Alamo to pick up my car, and receive "you don't have a reservation with us" as a response. As well as the Hotel. I never used this kind of booking services, so yes, I'm kind of afraid. At NY, I didn't found a god deal yet. I noticed that the price range really comes up in september, even after the 9/11 week. Budget: Miami, hotel + car = until U$800 NY, hotel = maximum U$1300 (the less the better, to spend our money shopping around :D ) No shared bathroom! I did not found good offers at priceline. I tried 2 deals on name your own price, and got nothing. But I'm willing to try more, with the right tips. Well, if someone can help us in our dream-budget travel, i would LOVE! Hugs from Brazil!
