Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Miami (Airport MIA) Marriott Airport

[relaxing41]

I bid $50, $55, $60 then added north miami airport and bid $65, all rejected. I closed browser and rebid for $55 with an additional night was accepted.

I was bidding at the 3 star level and trying to get the Residence INN so I wouldn't have to pay for breakfast or parking. I was a bit upset that I forgot that they will upgrade your star level just to get your bid to go through. This is a 3.5 star level property. I didn't do enough research as now I do see that someone has just recently won this property just a few days ago for $60.

Parking is $15 a night which I was trying to avoid by not going to the beach front properties. I did avoid the resort charge though, and saved $15 on parking since the beachfront properties are charging $30/night for parking. If i knew this in advance I wouldn't have even bothered getting a rental. This is just ridiculous.

What I like about this property is that the pool and fitness room and parking is shared by the Marriott Courtyard so you have the mixture of the guest.

I don't like that I have to pay for breakfast.

Upon check in the front-desk person was very pleasant and apologetic that he could not offer double beds and included a roll-away bed for free with my king size bed. This is great since usually they do not give freebies to PRICELINE customers.

Pool is heated and the jacuzzi is nice size.

I dont think you got credit because I think I used a computer at the hotel at which betterbidding wasn't properly loading.
