Golf Posted March 2, 2006 Report Posted March 2, 2006 My first posting here on betterbidding... I would appreciate some help identifying a hotel that I found for 3/31 - 4/2 in the Miami Lakes area.Details: 3-star with the following amenities, advertised for $107: Airport shuttleRestaurant FitnessHigh-speed internetBusinessI have done some extensive research on this forum (hotel list), hotel websites and some other sites (e.g. tripadvisor), but I am clueless about this hotel, especially about the offered airport shuttle.Anyone some ideas?
thereuare Posted March 2, 2006 Report Posted March 2, 2006 Do you still see this property for the above dates as i don't return any hotels in this area when doing a search for 3/31-4/2.

Golf Posted March 2, 2006 Author Report Posted March 2, 2006 Yep, it's still there for the same price (107).It also shows a 2,5* property for 157 (breakfast, pool, fitness, internet, business, laundry) and a 2* property for 89 (shuttle, restaurant, pool).Haven't identied those either, but the 2,5* is too expensive and I'm not looking for a 2*.
thereuare Posted March 2, 2006 Report Posted March 2, 2006 I see it now... didn't appear for me earlier.This is a match for the Howard Johnson Plaza Hotel so that would be our best guess.Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

Golf Posted March 2, 2006 Author Report Posted March 2, 2006 Thanks!Wow, I am amazed how you found out. I will check out this hotel and will for sure use the link if I decide to move forward on this.If I do, I will follow-up in this thread to confirm the hotel.
Golf Posted March 3, 2006 Author Report Posted March 3, 2006 Very happy with this Priceline.com win! :) Was bidding for 4* in the Airport and Coral Gables areas. Started at 70 and moved up in $2 steps using free re-bids (permutations). Got a counter-offer at $78 to raise $22. Denied this and continued bidding, assuming that I could get something close to $90. Was lucky at $86 already!Details about the stay:Check-In Date: Friday, March 31, 2006 Check-Out Date: Sunday, April 2, 2006 Your Offer Price: $86.00 Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 2 Subtotal: $172.00 Taxes and Service Fees: $32.17 Total Charges: $204.17 Hotel website quote on best rate: $209 (ex tax) :) Used the savingsbarn.com link as usual.Thanks very much for the support on this board, it helped me magnificently in deciding my bidding strategy.
Golf Posted March 3, 2006 Author Report Posted March 3, 2006 Decided to try my luck on Priceline first on a 4* property before going for a 3* Airport or Miami Lakes hotel.Was lucky below the quoted Hotline rate at $86 in Coral Gables, see this topic.Thanks for the support anyhow, it is very much appreciated.
