TheKinz Report post Posted July 31, 2007 Dates: Aug. 11-13, 2007Bid in Miami Beach 4 star $110 - RejectedMiami (South Beach) 4 star, 3 star - $110 RejectedTried $66, $80, $100 and finally $100 for the 3 star Miami Beach area and finally got the 3 star for $110 (was hoping to get one of the others on the priceline list).After taxes, I know this is the exact advertised price on the hotel's website and Expedia, but I guess that's the risk you take. I wasn't getting anything else in the beach area, and didn't want to screw myself over and not get anything at all (being a busy time of the season).Some mixed reviews for this place, it used to be the Wyndham. The big things are the extra "resort fee" per day ($12 or so) and parking being at $20 a day, with the wireless internet charge being $13 a day. I guess I won't be using the internet to surf betterbidding there. We'll find out what it's like when I get there. Thanks again for the targeted priceline list-always comes in handy.Forgot to add 3* in the title, sorry. Share this post Link to post

TheKinz Report post Posted July 31, 2007 I didn't even know you could call priceline. It's not about the $2, it's the principle. I didn't think they would take a bid that was more than a hotel's worth, but now I know better. That's why I figured I was going to get one of the better 3 stars, as my previous $100 bid was rejected. Well, I think I got a little hasty, but all in all, can't complain too much. Just wanted to let others who may be bidding on this zone know about this situation. Share this post Link to post
TheKinz Report post Posted January 2, 2008 Just reporting back-we had a great time at the Miami Beach Resort and Spa. We stayed at the Marriot in the area-and this hotel was far better than the Marriot. Great beach, nice staff. The elevators sucked and the valet was awfully slow-but it far exceeded our expections. Beautiful hotel worthy of it's 3 stars. Share this post Link to post
