I think it really becomes what you want from the hotel experience and how much you are going to use the amenities. Additionally, how far do you want to go from the port? I still think that this listing on PRICELINE EXPRESS is a great option (please confirm the correct dates of travel are showing on the detail page after clicking the link below.) 5* Downtown - Port of Miami (<<<---CLICK HERE to go direct to the listing) for $133 Pets Allowed Business Center Restaurant Indoor or Outdoor Pool >>>Best guess would be the Kimpton Epic The Kimpton gets fantastic reviews (4.5/5 on tripadvisor) and has a pool.

Thank you so much for the follow-up! Enjoy your stay.

If there's a $133 5* on PRICELINE EXPRESS as noted above, a bid may be successful in the $105-115 neighborhood. However, PRICELINE EXPRESS (and HOTWIRE) does have added value in being able to make an educated guess as to which hotel might be showing given the information given, whereas PRICELINE bidding you have to be willing to accept anywhere in the zone at that star rating. Additionally, PRICELINE EXPRESS listings often show bed choice whereas there is no bed choice option when bidding. In terms of cheaper options/lower star ratings, it really depends on the star rating/zone. When searching for 2 adults/1 child on HOTWIRE, a cheaper option I'm seeing is: 4* HOTWIRE Downtown - Port of Miami for $96.00 Free Internet Smoke Free Fitness Pool Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Golf ==> Best guess would be the Hyatt.Regency Miami Would the PRICELINE EXPRESS listing or HOTWIRE listing be of interest? If not, did you want to bid for a 5* or a lower star rating? Thank you for keeping us updated.

Bidding is for one bed/double occupancy. You can call the hotel after booking and request two beds - they may say yes, may say yes and charge more or may say no. There's no way to know - it may depend on the hotel or the day or who you talk to. HOTWIRE and PRICELINE EXPRESS offer some listings with bed choice and then you can look to see if 2 beds is one of the options. HOTWIRE also allows one to indicate 4 people in the party, which should result in some form of bedding (2 beds, 1 bed + sofabed or 1 + rollaway) for the whole party. In terms of timing, there is a discussion in the FAQ here, but I'll also note in recent years that as demand has ramped up (and this isn't a slow time of year), rates definitely don't always go lower closer to the stay - they can also definitely go higher (and suddenly.) The listing linked above has 2 beds as the first bed choice option. Would this possibility be of interest? Let us know what you decide or if we can be of any further assistance.

A 5/5 tripadvisor rating is showing on the detail page, so the underlying property gets excellent reviews. With HOTWIRE and PRICELINE Express, rates can change at any time (while price declines closer to the stay are possible, rates can also jump suddenly) and/or listings may disappear if inventory sells out for your dates.
