Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Miami (Downtown) Courtyard by Marriott

[loanshark]

1 Night pre-cruise

Bid 72 hours ago as follows:

Started 3*, D/T, $40, failed

Added S.Beach, $43, failed,

Added Key Biscayne $46, failed (Yes, I realize I could have ended up in a Key Biscayne report, but very unlikely!)

Added N Miami, $48, failed

Added SW Miami, $50, failed

2.5*, D/T $42, failed, counter offer for $54, ignored counter offer

Added N Miami, $45, failed....Here comes the 72 hour wait :)

Bid today for 3*'s, same as above, all failed

At this point I'm thinking Courtyard :)

2.5*, D/T, $44, failed, counter offer for $56

Added N Miami, $47, Results as follows:

Courtyard by Marriott Miami Downtown

Your Offer Price: $47.00

Number of Rooms: 1

Number of Nights: 1

Subtotal: $47.00

Taxes & Service Fees: $13.65

Total Charges: $60.65

What this tells me is that 3*'s have no inventory released to Priceline yet, or that the minimum is at least $51 for Thanksgiving Weekend.

Not sure if $46 will work for the 2.5* Courtyard, but $47 definately works. :o

nice job..........seems like the Courtyard and the Residences Inn are the 2.5* hotels wherever you go! :)

Thank you for sharing your winning bid and bidding history with the board.

I think we so very little bidding at the 2.5* level in this area as the 3* hotels can usually be had for about the same price. Looks like a good rate for this property with perks such as free internet.

Enjoy your stay.
