Priceline Hotel: 3* Miami (South Beach Oceanfront-Collins) Hotel Nash

[sonicjuice]

Hi there

I'm planning to visit Miami in December to see the Dolphins play the Patriots - coming over from the U.K however, I'm a bit unsure about what a realistic bid would be for a room on Priceline.

Ideally I'd like a 4* (wouldn't we all) however I've been advised that a 3* would most likely be very nice. I'm wondering therefore what the bid range would be for a 3* in comparison to a 4*?

I wouldn't want to spend more than $150 per night. Any advice? I will be staying 5 nights (12/3-12/8)

many thanks, Thomas

Should also have said that I'm looking for a hotel in the South Beach area. :-)

Welcome to BetterBidding!

There are now two South Beach zones that PRICELINE users... (South Beach Oceanfront-Collins Ave) and (Central South Beach).

Which of these, or both, are you willing to accept?

Hi thereuare

I'm looking to stay in the South Beach Oceanfront-Collins Ave area only. Can you give any idea on what price range I'd be looking at? I'm not sure if the fact that I want to stay the weekend of a football game would have a big impact on pushing the prices up from those secured by others at different times?

thanks, Thomas

I'm guessing that your budget wont' be enough for a 4* or 3.5*... unsure if enough for a 3* or not.

You have a LOT of re-bid zones available at the 4* or 3.5* levels (Priceline Re-Bidding Explained) so you could try each of these up to your limit and then, if rejected, try for a 3* slowlyl inching your way up with your one re-bid zone at that star level. (NOTE: HOTWIRE has a 3* offering in South Beach for just $91/nite, but it's likely a 2.5* property on PRICELINE and not well rated with a 2.5/5.0 Tripadvisor review, but mention simply because the price is so low... also, it's not on the beach but rather Beach Access and in the Central South Beach zone (and note the zone boundaries as each service defines zones in their own manner))

Let us know how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there.

I got a deal at the Hotel Nash thru PRICELINE from 12/3 until 12/8 for $130 per night. Very happy! :-)
