Hi,
(I've clicked the links)
A few friends and I are flying into Miami on Saturday 26th before departing on a cruise out of the Port of Miami on Sunday. We're all arriving from different places at different times, and due to that were looking to stay close to the airport, bonus if the hotel has a free airport shuttle but not a requirement. We'll just Uber to the port on Sunday.
I've done a bit of research already, we will need 2 rooms, which unfortunately removes a nice option from Priceline Express (for what I assume is a 3.5 star Crown Plaza for $94) which only shows up when we request 1 room.
What I've seen so far is this:
----
Hotwire:
I assume the following is the Pullman
4-star Hotel
Miami Intl Airport (MIA) area
$106 per night
Complimentary:
Free Internet
Amenities:
Airport shuttle
Business center
Fitness center
Pet friendly
Pool(s)
Restaurant(s)
Smoke-free rooms
-----
Priceline Express:
I assume the following is La Quinta or Extended Stay, not sure which
2.5-Star Hotel
Miami Airport West - Doral
$73 per night
Amenities:
Free Internet Access
Free Parking
Free Breakfast
No Smoking Rooms/Facilities
Pets Allowed
Swimming Pool
----
Priceline Express:
I can't tell what the following is, Holiday Inn is the only one that shows up on the hotels list, but it says only service animals are allowed
2.5-Star Hotel
Miami International Airport (MIA)
$99 per night
Amenities:
Free Internet Access
Free Parking
Free Breakfast
No Smoking Rooms/Facilities
Pets Allowed
----
I guess I'm first wondering if anyone agrees with my identification of the Hotwire above, and if there is any light that can be shed on the two Priceline Expresses.
I wouldn't mind trying a bidding strategy for Priceline standard if there were a chance I could do as good as or better than the Pullman, but feel it's unlikely.
With these hotels are we likely to get a 2 beds, or are they pretty inflexible if we arrive and they assigned us to a single bed room?
Finally, we just booked the cruise last minute, and now we are looking for a hotel stay that is only 17 days away, is there any advantage of holding out to see if prices go down, or is it likely to be flat (or go up) from here on out?
Thanks,
