Hotwire Hotel: 2.5* Miami (South Beach) Hotel Shelley

[c669885]

I've tried for the past week to get a good hotel deal on Priceline for an upcoming one-night stay in South Beach the night of April 13. However, Priceline rejected all my bids and I ended up booking a 2.5* hotel on Hotwire for $59 since Priceline could not beat that price. I'm very disappointed with Priceline for letting me down on this trip -- 99% of the time I find better deals on Priceline but not for this one (perhaps because I booked two weeks out rather than last-minute?)

For the record, my list of rejected bids:

FIRST ATTEMPT -- MARCH 23

A) Bid $50 for a South Beach 4-star; Priceline answered by asking me to raise by bid to $110!

B ) Bid $55 adding Dadeland

C) Bid $60 adding Miami Lakes

D) Bid $65 adding N. Miami

E) Bid $69 adding SW Miami

F) Bid $55 for a South Beach 3*; Priceline answered by asking me to raise my bid to $95!

G) Bid $60 adding N. Miami

H) Bid $50 for a South Beach 2.5*

I) Bid $55 adding N. Miami

SECOND ATTEMPT -- March 28

A) Bid $60 for a South Beach 3*

B ) Bid $65 adding N. Miami

C) Bid $50 for a South Beach 2.5*

D) Bid $55 adding N. Miami

THIRD ATTEMPT -- March 30

A) Bid $50 for a South Beach 2.5*

B ) Bid $55 adding N. Miami

Priceline bidding ended. Decided to book a 2.5* in South Beach on Hotwire for $59. Got the Hotel Shelley.

Got the 2.5* Hotel Shelley on South Beach for $59 for the night of April 13. Looks like a great location!

Retail for this room on the hotel's website for this night is $155, so using HOTWIRE for this transaction saved me 62%! :)
