Hotwire Hotel: 3* central south beach

[Martijn]

Hi,

I was wondering which hotel this might be? Maybe Albion South Beach?

It has the following amenities:

Boutique Hotel, Near Beach, Airport Shuttle, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), High-speed Internet Access, Golf Nearby and Tennis Nearby

I want to book this from 8feb - 11feb for $64 pn, is this a good deal?

gr, Martijn

Welcome to BetterBidding!

The above is a match for the Catalina Hotel and Beach Club so that would be my best guess for this one... the 3.0 Tripadvisor rating is something to be cautious of, but you can read the very mixed reviews of this property HERE.

Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread.

The 2.5* is match for the Whitelaw so that would be my best guess for that one. The 2* has not yet been reported to the board.

hi i am also wondering about a hotel in downtown miami, i found a 3* hotel for $56 Fitness Center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business Center, High-speed Internet Access and Tennis Nearby for the same period. i see they don't post any ratings anymore. so does anyone have an idea about this hotel?

That would appear to be a match for the Hilton. The HOTWIRE properties that have been reported to the board for the state of Florida can be found in the Hotwire Hotel List.

Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links.

are you sure, beacuse that would mean a %64 discount, that's not bad....

It could certainly also be a previously unknown/reported property, but the Hilton has been previously reported as a 3* with these amenities in the downtown Miami zone.

Generally these South Beach properties with the Shuttle icons are run by the same hotel group (the airport isn't that close to the airport), and they're not that well reviewed (as evidenced by the 50-55% recommendation by HOTWIRE users), so you really need to decide what type of experience you're looking for... if you just want an inexpensive hotel these may fit the bill, but if you're looking at a 'nice' experience, you're going to have to pay a bit more to stay in South Beach.

In looking at your description of the other hotel you've posted, i think you're confusing the "overall satisfacation" number provided by HOTWIRE with the Tripadvisor rating... these are two different things.

Read the Tripadivor reviews of the following hotels:

Catalina Hotel and Beach Club

Chesterfield Hotel

Hotel Chelsea

Lily Leon Hotel

... are these acceptable for your needs?
