Priceline Hotel: 4* Miami (Coral Gables-Coconut Grove) Hyatt Regency

[JanetNC]

Patience is a virtue. :) Needed one pre-cruise night and DH wanted to stay in Coral Gables, so booked a AAA rate ($175 + tax) at Mayfair for back-up.

Started bidding on 2/18 up to $100 using CG and six free rebids. On 2/20 had $5 bonus money, not accepted. Bid on 2/26 up to $100, still nothing. In FL high season good hotels appear to release rooms to PL only close to check-in, so I don’t bother to bid much until the last week.

Today reading that a previous poster got the Hyatt Regency CG for $106, I started at $70. PL countered with $90. I bid $80 by adding Adventura and won the Hyatt Regency. $98.64 total with tax. Very happy...have stayed here before with PL..great hotel!! Thank you for this wonderful resource. As always used your link to PRICELINE. Warm regards, Janet

Congrats on your success. :)

Awesome deal, and glad to hear that you are looking forward to another stay at this property.

Thank you for sharing your win and using the site's PRICELINE link.

Enjoy your stay.

Highly jealous :)

BTW, did you actually bid on a 4*?

As mentioned in yesterdays post, I could only get a successful bid when selecting 3* (bidding 3.5* and 4* only a couple of minutes earlier gave no joy at much increased prices).

Yes, I only bid 4* because wanted the Hyatt or Westin. Never bid a 3* anywhere unless no choice...good hotels and more "free rebids" for more fun and games!

I must thank you since it was your post that had me bid again.. was planning to wait until the weekend to give it another try.
