It could be the Midtown Inn. Sounds like the same place my niece stayed a few month ago and she said never again.

This site explains how to figure out which hotel you are looking at on LMT.

:DWow that is amazing you where right it was the midtown inn thanks for the information this place is a life saver. My wife would of killed me if i booked that place the picture makes it look like a bed bug town ;)

[Brandonlees]

that link takes all the guess work out of it thank you very much. I feel a boost of confidence now haha

I agree, the procedure is great in figuring out how to see what hotel your choosing.

[Brandonlees]

another question?

 

Do the rates on Last minute Travel get lower the closer you get to the travel dates? Or does it stay the same.... Has anyone seen it go lower when you get closer.

Much will depend on the season and availibility I'm sure like other discount sites. I made a big mistake this summer and found a superrate for a Mag. Mile hotel Chicago hotel. In the day and a half I used to discuss the choice with my DH, the rate jumped $75 a night. When you find something you like, book it.

Does anyone know how long it takes for LMT to respond to your reservation request? I "booked" a hotel that said the room was available "on request."

They will let me know if indeed I can get that room. I read somewhere that it's within 48 hours, but I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with it being more. The room is for this Friday night and I'm wondering if I should start shopping around for another deal.

 

Thanks!

:Dgive them a call. They are nice on the phone.

I have seen other say this happens to them but I have never had it happen to me as I always get confirmation within a couple of minutes. I have used them quite a few times in the last couple of years.

I got mine in just under 3 days.

Well, I called LMT this morning and overnight, the "request" was denied, because the hotel is sold out of those discounted rooms. I'm glad I called, as the CSR couldn't tell me when the email with that information would have come through.

 

She told me the best thing to do would be to just look at the "available" rooms, not the "on request" rooms.

What a bummer

[watchdiva]

Just booked the IC for our January cruise (rate was $162/night) and booked the Airport Regency post-cruise (rate was $111/night). IC is 5-star and Airport Regency 4-star....

 

The only rates for our travel date (1/8) that were in the $90 range were for hotels we wouldn't want to stay in for one reason or another.

 

Gotta LOVE lastminutetravel.com and thanks to whoever posted the "tips" on how to tell what hotel you're looking at....

[Froufie]

Many of the hotels on lastminutetravel are 'copies' of those found on easyclicktravel.com - where all the hotels are identified. You can usually figure out which one is which based on the description (altho the # of hotels listed is not identical).

 

Good lucik!

I think the IC is a 4 star but LMT has it as a 5 star.They seem to add a extra star or half star to their listed hotels .You should be able to get that hotel off priceline for under 100 bucks soon.I never paid more then 100 bucks for a 4 star in Miami .

I am having LOTS of trouble getting anything under $100 for 1 night stay pre-cruise feb 2in downtown Miami and getting very frustrated. Last year got the 4 star Hyatt downtown end of January for $65 per room - what a steal!

 

This year have been looking at the typical sites and not having much luck with priceline. Trying 3.5 star and 4 star downtown MIA up to $85 (which is about $100 with all fees/taxes in) and nothing!!! What a bummer. I guess we can always try the MIA airport area which I presume would be more reasonable.....but we usually enjoy the ambience of downtown and of course proximity to the port and being able to see the ships in the morning!

I am waiting for feb 4 to 6 th .I will bid a xmas time just around the new year if you want it for under 100 bucks. The prices are high right now to throw us off a little .If you have the patients to wait till after xmas you will get the hotel for under 100 bucks. I always book mine about 30 to 35 out. I never have paid over 100 bucks for a 4 star in mIami. PATIENTS I SAY

Well I am NOT a very patient person to say the least - and I so love getting a bargain :D:D - but I will try to sit it out! Let me know if and when you find something AMAZING! (I think I shall go ahead and book a backup - just in case!)

 

Thanks!
