Priceline Hotel: Bidding advice needed for Miami

[amsh]

I'm trying to bid for a 4* in Downtown Miami for 2 nights in Feb and also 3 nights in Feb for a 3.5* on South Beach (Ocean Drive).

What maximum price bids should I be looking at putting in? I've tried bidding unsuccessfully up to $110 for Downtown Miami and $150 for South Beach (Ocean Drive).

Any advice appreciated. Thanks

Downtown Miami: 7th Feb - 9th Feb (2 nights)

South Beach Ocean Drive, Miami: 13th Feb - 16th Feb (3 nights)

Ocean Drive maximum bid so far is $170

(Please can we used this thread for the Ocean Drive one as that is the one I am most concerned with for now).

HOTWIRE has a 3.5* offered in the South Beach-Ocean Drive zone for $180/nite with Boutique, Beachfront, Restaurant, Fitness, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Laundry... and a Tripadvisor rating of 4.5/5.0 (which is excellent)

Best guess is that this is the Pelican Hotel, but even if it's not, i wouldn't be concerned with this quality/experience given the TA reviews... does this work for your plans?

Thanks for this however having looked at the hotel it is not really my style I'm afraid ... I think I would prefer a more 'normal' hotel. Do you have any other suggestions?

I've had a look through all the Miami hotels on Trip Advisor with >300 reviews and traveller rating of 3.5 but there doesn't appear to be anything listed that matches this criteria. Any ideas anyone?
