darlamac2000 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Posted January 5, 2012 Will be travelling to Miami March 10, 2012 for a cruise embarking March 11,2012. Looking for at least a 3.5 star hotel. Would we be better off at airport area or near the port of Miami. What can I reasonably expect to pay for a hotel at this time?
thereuare Posted January 5, 2012 Report Posted January 5, 2012 Welcome to BetterBidding!At the moment rates are a bit high for this nite, but rates can certainly change over the next few weeks. I'm guessing at the moment you're probably looking at ~$125 for a 3.5* or $100 for a 3* property... but at these rates i would sooner book a fully refundable back-up reservation for a little more and hope rates come down a little in the next few weeks. What is your expected budget for this nite?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

darlamac2000 Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Posted January 6, 2012 My budget is $125-150. My other question is there are 4 of us. How can I ensure we have a double room when booking or do I call hotel directly after winning bid?
thereuare Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 PRICELINE only guarantees double occupancy, after that it's at the discretion of the hotel, and you could receive a room with only one bed. While you can call the hotel you win and request a room with two beds, the hotel may not be able, or willing, to honor your request. Is this a risk you're willing to accept? If not, HOTWIRE may still be an option as they allow you to search for up to quad occupancy and ensure sleeping accommodations for everyone you include in your search (although this usually means two beds, the second 'bed' could be a sofabed, rollaway, etc)Let us know how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
