Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Miami (Downtown) B2 Miami Downtown

[dtownjbrown]

1 night priceline.Express Deal, Downtown Miami, 3.5 stars:

 

$61 June 19-20, 2014.  Rated 7.0 out of 10, only amenities listed is restaurant .  Says it's similar to: Hyatt, Hilton, Sheraton Doubletree, Crowne Plaza, Marriott.

 

Thanks in advance,

JB

With only one highly common amenity it's difficult to begin to narrow down the possibilities. The Marriott, Hilton, Doubletree, Urbano and B2 Miami would be possibilities. I'd guess the B2 is more likely than the rest, but any of the five would be possible.

The search continues:  I'm still looking for a pre-cruise hotel 6/19-20.  I was lucky on my post-cruise and scored the Intercontinental for $80 (previously posted on the Priceline Forum).  Unfortunately I haven't had the same luck trying to win a pre-cruise hotel for around $60.

Any ideas on which hotel this might be?

$70 Hotwire Deal

UPDATE - I just refreshed my screen (after posting onto this forum) and the price changed to $73 with the following note:  Book soon! The last person got the b2 Miami Downtown Hotel.  Does this mean that this hotel is B2 Miami or just that someone somewhere booked the B2 Miami for some future date?

 

Thanks again,

JB

Please keep all posts in the same thread since posts are for the same stay.

I believe there may have been more amenities than you listed in your post. HOTWIRE has a new interface which is not currently showing the complete set of amenities at the usual point of the search process.

Please run a new search using our BiddingHelper.com tool at the top of this page. Once the search is completed, use the EASY VIEW TAB and click the GREEN BUTTON next to this listing to view the complete set of amenities.

This is what I see when replicating your search,

Free Internet

Pet Friendly

Fitness

Pool

Restaurant

Business

Laundry

Hi-Speed Internet

Tennis

Blind Accessible

Deaf Accessible

Travel Accessible

Room Accessible

Wheelchair Accessible

Bathroom Accessible

Handicapped Parking

Roll-in Shower

If this is what you see would my best guess would be Hilton Downtown.

I just refreshed my screen (after posting onto this forum) anbpc spam4anged to $73 with the following note: Book soon! The last person got the b2 Miami Downtown Hotel. Does this mean that this hotel is B2 Miami or just that someone somewhere booked the B2 Miami for some future date?

The "last person got ..." message shown by HOTWIRE is in reference to the last person who won a hotel in that zone at that star rating... it doesn't apply to the amenity set of the current offer nor does it say anything about the current hotel offered.

Thanks, I just repeated the search using the BiddingHelper.com link at the top of this page and noticed I got the star rating wrong....it's actually a 3* not 3 1/2.  

 

Interesting that the HOTWIRE website refers to it as "Downtown Miami Area BOUTIQUE Hotel" while BiddingHelper.com refers to it as only Downtown Miami.  

 

The full amenities shown on BiddingHelper.com are the same as I listed before (i.e. Free Internet, Boutique Hotel, Smoke Free Rooms, Fitness Center, Restaurant(s), Self service laundry, Spa Services) but now the price is back down to $70. 

 

Any thoughts on which hotel?

The B2 Miami Downtown would be my best guess for this one.

Thanks, I did a couple internet searches on B2 Miami and reviews are mixed.  Seems very polarizing, people either loved it or hated it.  Any first hand experience from this forum?

 

Also, do you know if they charge a resort fee like many of the other 3 1/2* hotels on Priceline & Hotwire?

 

Thanks again,

So, I finally got a pre-cruise hotel in the price range I was looking for.  My bid was excepted on Price.line after five free re-bid zones (and two counter offers).for a 3 1/2* in Downtown Miami.  

 

I won the B2 Miami Downtown for $53 (i used the better bidding PRICELINE link this time, wink).  

 

NOTE:  this price is $10 less than their counter offers and $20 less than the current PRICELINE EXPRESS deal price).  I will report back if it is a love it or hate it situation.

Congratulations on your success!

Glad to see you got this stay settled and that you're happy with the outcome.

Even if this proves not to be your favorite hotel ever, i'm sure you'll find it to be a good value at $53 and it will be perfectly fine for your one nite stay pre-cruise.

Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding.

Enjoy your stay... and have a great cruise!
