really don't want a 3*, unless you know of a 3* area of Miami Beach that doesn't include a dump. (aka Holiday Inn, miami beach 3*) No thanks.

can only go up to $100.00 plus taxes and fees though.

Any ideas that may help are welcome.

If $100 is your maximum and you're already at $90, simply raise each bid by $10 and repeat.

You may have to stretch your budget a bit to have success in these areas.

Gave up on this quest, decided to check out Ft. Lauderdale. Thanks

Well, gave up on my quest for Miami/South Beach, decided on Ft. Lauderdale.

Saw Hotwire hotel, 3* that matched up with the Yankee Clipper. Price offered was $62 so I took it!

for 3 nights, 9/1 - 9/4 Labor Day Weekend total cost $211. Not Bad!

Got to Hotwire thru SavingsBarn. Nice and Easy as always!
