Priceline Hotel: 3* Miami (Coral Gables-Coconut Grove) Grand Bay Miami

[a200839]

Yikes - I'm scared of this place I just got booked into. Here's the last 6 comments in tripadvisor about the hotel:

- GO SOMEPLACE ELSE!!!!!

- Stay away from this dump!

- Dreadful Hotel ! !

- terrible two days

- $24 Buck Valet - What A Rip Off

- Avoid this property-Better choices in Coconut Grove

It sounds like this place should be condemmed. How can this be a 3* hotel? And why would priceline allow it to even be an option? I think this place is a run down dump that grabs bids from priceline because there is no other 3*'s to compete with.

I worked the bidding really hard for the area using re-bids, etc. I worked bids from 70 -> 140 over 5-7 days. Ultimately I thought I was rebidding on a 3* Miami downtown (Only) after bidding Coral Gables and ended up with this dump. Now I'm stuck with putting my friends at this place for my wedding that weekend. Blah...

If anyone knows how I can get out of this dump I'd appreciate hearing.

Thank you for sharing your win with the board.

I'd try contacting priceline and ask them to re-evaluate the star rating based upon the comments/reviews you have found.

Next time ask for help before you bid, and make sure you understand how to determine and/or confirm your re-bid zones. (Priceline Re-Bidding Explained)

Let us know if you make any headway.
