jargey3000 Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 I need to book pre-cruise hotel in Miami for 1 night Dec.3. Someone on another forum recently gave me this information: "I see a 4 star in downtown on Hot Wire for just under $150. 80% favorable. Priceline express also has the 4 star property for $150. Lines up to be the Hyatt. Very good price." Can anyone help me find / identify these hotels on HOTWIRE or PRICELINE? OR direct me to any other good deals on the sites. I'd like to get something booked, but I'm not too familiar with using these sites. Thanks! Link to comment

jargey3000 Posted September 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 ok - not sure how this site works. I went to your HOTWIRE link, put in Miami, date-Dec3 1 night. Got results then refined by area - Downtown. 6 hotels came up. First one is "Downtown-Port of Miami area boutique hotel" 4-star, 85% recommended, $128. When I clicked on this hotel, it went to nect page, with a little blue balloon saying: "Book soon! The last person got the Langford Hotel" Can someone identify this hotel ?? Thanks. Link to comment

AaronJB Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 This listing has not yet been ID'd/reported to the board. The Langford would be a guess, but it certainly could still be something else not yet ID'd/reported to the board. Are you looking for something in particular in terms of hotel? Budget, zone or any other variables?

jargey3000 Posted September 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 as i said... when i go to hotwire & search by area (downtown-portof miami) then click on this $128 hotel to book, hotwire takes me to the next page, where a little blue "balloon" pops up saying: "Book soon! The last person got The Langford Hotel". It keeps saying that & indicates that people have booked...so I'm assuming it's The Langford ? Link to comment
jargey3000 Posted September 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Hi. all. Looking for some guidance from you pros! Need a hotel for just 1 night (pre-cruise) - Sat. Dec. 3rd. Any bargains to be had ($200 or less) on HOTWIRE - or anywhere else? All comments appreciated. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 HOTWIRE's "the last hotel won was..." message is not necessarily telling you the underlying hotel, it is simply the last hotel that someone won at that star level in that zone in general. Are you seeing another listing within your desired budget per night of interest? If so, please provide the full list of amenities and other details (star rating, zone, price per night before taxes/fees.) Additionally, please confirm which zones would be acceptable.

jargey3000 Posted September 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Question for anyone here on the site. I've been looking around for a DT Miami hotel for 1 night (Dec.3). It appears? (not sure) that HW is offering this hotel for my date for $128 -which seems to be a darn good rate for DT Miami. Also, when i go to your sister site mapsandhotels, and filter by 3.5 -4 star hotels for that date, 8 hotels pop up with The Langford sustantially lower ($153) than the other 7. Never having been to Miami, and being the wary type... I'm wondering if i should jump on this rate...or is there something I should know about this hotel (if it IS The Langford), tha's keeping its price so low??? Is this deal "too good to be true"?? Any comments appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment
jargey3000 Posted September 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 OK. I pulled the trigger & booked on Hotwire (yes via your BiddingHelper.com). how do i report my results? any particular format? I managed to use the extra $15 discount thru the BB BiddingHelper.com link. $143.68 all-in. I'm happy with that! Thanks!
