Priceline Hotel: 4-5* Miami Beach (South Beach) Help Requested

[ITistic]

We'll need 4 beds total (most likely 2 rooms) checking in February 24th and checking out February 26th (2 nights). Any tips for getting a good rate on PriceLine at a 4-5* hotel?

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

Please provide your desired max budget per night for this stay. Additionally, please confirm the PRICELINE zones of interest and desired star rating (PRICELINE does not offer 5* bidding in Miami.)

Thanks! I've clicked both the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links before replying to this thread.

We need two double rooms (2 beds in each room) with a max budget of $250/night. We're interested in the following zones:

South Beach - Central

South Beach - Collins Avenue Oceanfront

South Beach - Ocean Drive

Thanks again for your help :)

How many people are going to be in each room? PRICELINE only guarantees 1 bed/double occupancy - while one can request a room with two beds via the hotel after booking, the hotel may be unwilling or unable (or may charge an additional fee if a room w/2 beds is usually priced at a premium.) With HOTWIRE, if you search for more than two people in the room, you should get bedding for the entire party, although there is no guarantee as to exact bedding - while 2 beds is common, it may be 1 + sofabed or other combination.

Thanks, Aaron. There's going to be 2 people in each room but we need two beds in each room. I forgot about that problem with PRICELINE. Maybe it's not a good idea for us to use PRICELINE or HOTWIRE, then...

HOTWIRE allows you to search for up to quad occupancy per room, essentially guaranteeing your separate sleeping accommodations in each room. While this usually/often means two beds, the second 'bed' could be a rollaway brought into the room, a pullout sofabed, etc... would this work for your needs?
