DealDude Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Hello! I am traveling to San Diego from 7/25 to 7/30. I am looking for a hotel near Sea World or nearby areas. I believe this is Mission Valley/Fashion Valley area. We have 2 adults and 2 kids, so a room with two beds is required. My budget is around $120 per night. Free parking and free breakfast is important I am hoping for a 3 star hotel. I see all rooms around these dates are priced over my budget. Any help with Priceline bidding strategy would be much appreciated. Thank you! Link to comment
DealDude Posted July 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Looks like I cannot select the number of beds when bidding on Priceline and the rooms are only guaranteed to accommodate 2 adults. I think I will try the deals on Hotwire which has the option to select the # of adults and children. Thanks! Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Welcome to BetterBidding! When searching HOTWIRE for 2adults/2children do you see anything that meets your desired star rating, zone, and budget criteria? Do you have any back-up plan?

AaronJB Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 I think there may be more amenities than you have included above. If you repeat your search using our BiddingHelper tool and look in the EASY VIEW TAB then click the "Full Amenities" button next to each listing in question, do you see additional amenities beyond those listed above? If so, please confirm the full amenity set (including accessible amenities) and we would be happy to take a look. Also, is your budget a little flexible, as the hotels above are either slightly over your $120 budget or less than the 3* rating you were seeking.
