Hotwire Hotel: 4* Miami (Airport MIA) Sofitel

[theory12]

Being stuck at airport at 10pm due to missed connection (and airline out of hotel rooms, they said), I unsuccessfully got priceline booking for any airport hotel from 5* down to 3* but my max was only $150 there.

So I checked Hotwire and booked this for $240, with taxes and fees it was $260. Other people drove around and paid $300 at Marriott airport, so I don't feel so bad about overpaying for this. Apparently 3 trade shows in town in addition to this being valentines/pres day holiday weekend.

Best Value with these amenities:

Airport Shuttle

Fitness Center

Pool(s)

Restaurant(s)

Business Center

Laundry Facilities

High-speed Internet Access

Children's Activity Program

Nice hotel and 4* worthy, but no way would I pay this price near an aiport in Miami, if I wasn't desperate. I also saw the printout of prepayment from from the hotel...Hotwire paid $170 for it. Funny also...the hotel would not let me book direct and said no rooms left...so I called backed about 2 minutes after I booked Hotwire online from airport and they had the reservation :)
