Happybid Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Hi Everyone, we need a stop between Key west and Orlando airport at Christmas this year. We want to stay one night at Miami, what area will be good for such purpose? We are looking at Hotwire, 2.5* hotel located Miami Lakes - Hialeah North, Amenities are: Breadfast, fitness, Pool, Business Center, Laundry and High-speed Internet. Could someone help us to identify which one it is? Is this one good for a stop before we drive to Orlando airport? We may still have one morning to enjoy Miami before heading to Orlando airport.Thanks a lot! Link to comment
Happybid Posted November 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 One more identification needed - 3-star hotel in Golden Glades-Miami shores, Amenities include Restaurant and High-speed Internet. Thanks a million! Link to comment

Happybid Posted December 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 For 12/28/08, and what do we want to do? Prefer to enjoy beach and any natural scene if possible. But probably just for one morning, not much we can do.Thanks a lot! I will use the links next time when I browse. Link to comment
thereuare Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Neither of these properties have been identified... what is it about these properties that interested you? In particular, the (Miami Lakes - Hialeah North) zone doesn't appear to be too close to the beach.Have you also considered staying in Ft Lauderdale where the Airport, Downtown, and Beach zones are all relatively close to one another and may expand your options for being close to the beach, as well as get you a little closer to Orlando for the trip the following day (double check directions yourself to confirm as well as doublecheck the Ft Lauderdale zones to make sure that these would work for your needs, if you decide to go this route)What is your maximum budget and minimum star rating for this stay?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

Happybid Posted December 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 No minimum star required as long as it's clean and quiet. Max budget is about $100. Thanks. Link to comment
thereuare Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Not sure how close it is to the beach, but what appears to be the Hyatt Regency Coral Gables is offered thru HOTWIRE for $80/nite... a 4* hotel with pretty good reviews.Would this work for your plans?

Happybid Posted December 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 I checked with my travel partners, they prefer to be beach front. If I try to bid on Priceline, is there any hotel that's so bad that I should avoid in following area: south beach, central beach and north beach?Thanks a million. Link to comment
thereuare Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 I checked with my travel partners...Are you searching for more than one room or for more than double occupancy?

bellisq Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 You are getting good advice to go up to Ft lauderdale or even Deerfield beach, which puts you closer to Orlando and is a more natural split of the drive. There are hundreds of hotels in MB, but that is a very crowded week. If you are under 30, stay in MB, if older, go on up to a more manageable area. Coral Gables is very far from the beach, about 10 miles away and is a business area. For your purposes, i think you would be unhappy there. Be mindful of the intense traffic, usually quite slow between Boca and Palm Beach. Take the turnpike and be sure to have some cash for it. Much better road. Link to comment
