jkeitch Posted January 30, 2008 #1 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Well I was having no luck finding an affordable place in Miami for Feb 24th so I decided to give priceline a shot. Low and behold my 2nd bid of $65 was accepted.....by the Hyatt Summerfield Suites. After taxes it comes out to $81.44 which seems pretty unbelievable since their cheapest room for that night is regularly $229! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been using it for years now and have never been disappointed. There are a couple of great sites out there that helped along the way - biddingfortravel and betterbidding they are great information sources.

eandj Posted January 30, 2008 #3 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Because it is a Sunday night, most cruisers have already left Miami. Friday and Saturdays are the busiest because of the 7 day trips. Great timing and price!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkeitch Posted January 30, 2008 Author #5 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Confirmed 1-bedroom suite with a king size bed. Now I'm wishing our flight didn't leave at 6am on Monday. The rooms look pretty amazing in the photos. I'm surprised it's only rated 2.5 stars. http://miamiairport.summerfieldsuites.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/summerfield/gallery/floorplan.jsp Now all I have to do is find a car for Sunday and we're all set.

KreinKrunker Posted January 31, 2008 #6 Share Posted January 31, 2008 The rooms look pretty amazing in the photos. I'm surprised it's only rated 2.5 stars. The star system is based on hotel amenities, not looks, room size, or cleanliness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murcielago Posted February 1, 2008 #7 Share Posted February 1, 2008 If you find somenthing on Priceline and it looks too good to be true, then it must be true. I love priceline. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertiger Posted February 1, 2008 #8 Share Posted February 1, 2008 i stayed there a few years back with a winning bid on Priceline also. It was wonderful! Wish i could win again!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare silentbob007 Posted February 2, 2008 #9 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Agreed ... as long as you understand the system, Priceline is awesome ... and for those of you who don't know, you can link through refereal sites to get something like 3% back.

onejeepster Posted February 3, 2008 #10 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I agree that Priceline is a great site to book hotels and car rentals. But like anything these days you have to do your homework or you may be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
