Priceline Hotel: I'm NEW and I Need help for Hotels in Miami and Key West

[AndreaMartin]

Hey,

I'm new here and I neeeeed help for bidding by Priceline for my travel.

Our Budget is 100 $ / night.

I saw on Hotwire a 3.5* Hotel in Miami South Beach - Ocean Drive

We stay in Miami from 06/05/10 to 06/06/10

After that we want stay one day on Key West 06/06/10 - 06/07/10.

Then we want stay again in Miami 06/07/10 - 06/10/10

Our favorite Areas we want stay in Miami are: 3.5* and 4*

Miami Beach

South Beach - Ocean Drive

South Beach - Collins Avenue Oceanfront

I need help for a Bidding strategy.

So far I had no luck with Priceline, I hope you can me help.

Bye,

Martin

Hi Martin

As your trip is so far away, I would suggest that you book a hotel that you can later cancel if you are successful with PRICELINE. Although you can sometimes get a Priceline hotel months in advance, I tend to be more successful leaving it until a few weeks before, or even within a week of going. It's also worth checking out what's being offered on the HOTWIRE site, as this will give you an idea of availability and prices (Hotwire prices are around 20% higher).

Good luck!

Anna

I don't necessarly agree with waiting until close to arrival, but for more on my own thoughts, you can see the related link in our PRICELINE FAQ.

Please stick with the board format of one stay per thread. We'll use this thread for the first leg of your stay from in Miami from 06/05/10 to 06/06/10, please start a NEW TOPIC for the other stays/dates.

For 6/5-6/6, are you willing to pay more for a 4* hotel vs. a 3.5* hotel OR is the goal the least expensive 3.5* or better?

Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.
