Priceline Hotel: 4* Miami (Airport MIA) InterContinental

[galileocan]

:)

Went through the link to PRICELINE through www.savingsbarn.com

Very tough.........I'd been trying for a few days to get a 4* hotel either in South Beach, Miami Beach or Miami Airport for around $100/nt. Not a chance.

After trying various bids, waiting a day, bidding, waiting........my final bids went as follows;

Bid $130 - Miami Airport (Rejected)

Bid $140 - added Dadeland (Rejected)

Bid $150 - added North Miami (Rejected)

Bid $160 - added Miami Lakes - ACCEPTED

Got the Intercontinental at $160. Best rate on the Intercontinental website for the same night was $180/nt. This ranks as the worst deal I've ever made on Priceline - a savings of only a little over 10%. Oh well.....I guess they all can't be winners. Perhaps I bid too early. Most of the time I bid on hotels is a few days before the stay, but I needed to get a hotel for the night and didn't want to be left out. Maybe it was the time of year, but I know others have gotten this hotel MUCH cheaper.

Thanks for sharing your win with the board and for starting your bid with the SavingsBarn.com PRICELINE links.

When you have a difficult stay such as this, feel free to ask for help.

This property is available for a few dollars less (after you include the priceline booking fee) HERE, but unfortunately is listed as "off the record" so you can't make any best rate guarantee claims. If this is for a pre-cruise stay, the Inter-Continental Downtown is available for the same price.

Enjoy your stay.
