Priceline Hotel: 4* Miami (South Beach - Central) Mondrian A Morgans Hotel

[rokugatsu]

First time bidding for a room. Could someone help me with a bid strategy?

I'm looking for a hotel room from Sept 4 to Sept 7.

Looking for in order or preference Miami Beach, South Beach Ocean Drive, South Beach Central, South Beach Collins Avenue Oceanfront.

4* or higher

Willing to pay max $130.

On the calendar of wins, I found one win for Sept 6 at a 4* Surfcomber hotel for $100.

Thank you very much in advance!

Are you willing to pay more for a hotel in your first choice of zone vs. second choice vs. third choice, etc, etc... OR is your goal the least expensive 4* or better in any of these zones?

Please confirm and we'll advise accordingly.

I took a wild stab at this last night and came out of it with the Mondrian for $115.

Did I play this right?:

$90 sobe central

$100 sobe central and rebid zone

$110 sobe central, rebid zone and Miami beach

$115 the above plus rebid zone.

Accepted.

Now

I'm looking for something miami beach or north miami beach (equal preference), somewhere quiet and oceanfront for sept 1-4 now. What should my strategy be and how much should I expect to pay for 4*+ with my above requirements?

Do you know if you the Mondrian allows you to change rooms?

I want to book a 4* the week before you for 2 nights, but I absolutely need to have 2 beds or 1 bed + sofa.

I am a bit concerned booking miami beach on Priceline because I don't want to end up with only 1 bed, that would be bad.

Please start a new thread with the details of your stay (date/s of travel, desired budget, acceptable zones, amount of people in the party) and we would be happy to help.

PRICELINE only guarantees double occupancy/1 bed - more than one bed can be requested with the hotel but no guarantees. HOTWIRE is a better bet given you can enter in the amount of people in the party and if over 2, you should get bedding for the entire party - that can be 2 beds or 1 + sofabed or 1 + rollaway. There is no way to know, however, if a hotel will allow two beds with a PRICELINE reservation. It can depend on the day or even who you talk to at the hotel.
