Miami WMC question

With WMC dates just announced I want to book our hotel asap. I checked around online. Seems like there are lots of places in the $150/night range for 4 people in good locations. I realize that we will not be sleeping whatsoever, but we need a place that has enough size for 4 of us to get ready, etc.
Do you think its worth paying a little extra to stay at the Raleigh (for the pool, etc). I found it for like $200/night. Is it too far north? I heard its pretty nice - will it be too upscale & not have other WMCers there? Or should we just find some small ty place?
Thanks |

Hey... :toocool:
This early you may very well be able to find hotels online in prime location (around 5th-20th Ave or so) for even cheaper than 150 a night.
I have found hotels online for as cheap as 50-70 a night.. Its up to you how much you want to spend and how many people you have stayin with you; but I wouldn't blow the extra $$ on a nice room when you won't even be in it... I like you will be in the same situation LOL... so I understand; and Im sure I wont be getting anything fancy since the room will be used just as a place to keep my stuff,shower/change to go out and maybe to get a couple minutes of sleep during the week im there LOL. So yea I def wouldnt waste your money; I can think of many other things you can save it for during your week there! heh;)
Love, Rach |

if you say there are 2 people staying in the room and you want 2 double beds, it will be cheaper than booking the same amount of beds for 4 people ...usually....
just a tip!!!:) |

the whole point of the WMC is to NOT spend time in the hotel room. Personally, I have never cared how good the place was that I Stayed in. Last year I stayed at the Riande for $89/night. It had 2 queen beds, a sofa bed, and a kitchen. We had 3 people staying in there and it was large enough that we had about 25 people in there for a party. My opinion of a hotel is this "what do you actually see when your eyes are closed???" All I need is a bed and a decent bathroom, other than that I am out on the beach/ocean drive/drunk/clubbing and the hotel is maybe 15-20% of the time...Only spend a lot on a hotel if you plan on spending a lot of time there |

my suggestion is to go to www.hotels.com and look up Flight and Hotel together...
with 4 people flying in on the 5th and leaving on the 10th it was $399 per person w/airfare on ATA out of Midway and hotel @ Suite of Dorchester which were fine last year and we had 8 people stay in one Suite!
see you all there. |

PS. I've found http://www.wmcon.com/ but I was wondering if there is a Tips & Tricks website, kind of like www.ibiza-spotlight.com for Ibiza. |

Yeah i might be going solo for this as well, gotta find someone willing to drive all the way down to FLA and get a hotel with me. My roomate said he would go if his spring break is the same as ours. (we go to different colleges) |

for the cost of driving down you can fly for less. Flights are going for under $200 right now |
