1st Bid - Great Hotel
Forgot to add Marriott to the title - can you fix?
Thanks
First bid $50 Union City area
Added Pleasanton at same price to win
Two days ago spent quite a bit of time biding from $46 up to $54 on this area and got zero. Today my first bid at $54 for Union City and Pleasanton won. {sigh}..neither rhyme nor reason....
Started bidding over two days ago, working up to $59 from $45, Also tried Milpetas up to $57
Started from your PRICELINE link this time as well.
First bid!
Very nice hotel which charges for Internet @ 9.50 per day
Note that Priceline has just realigned this area with 11 subareas instead of the previous 8. Good news is now 3 free rebids at 3* and up level as two of the new areas have only 2 star. I tried several bids up to $52 trying to get a Union City 3* with no luck before starting over and winning this on the first bid
Tried Pleasanton / San Ramon / Hayward / Union City & Milpetas - Nothing below $52 [+$5]
12/6 to 12/10
Tried Pleasanton / San Ramon / Hayward / Union City & Milpetas - Nothing below $52 [+$5]
Started at $50, tried several areas before going to $52
Yes, it's a beautiful hotel that I've only won one time before.
I was hoping to stay below $45 as has been my trend over the last few weeks. I know there's a big conference in town next week, hopefully things will settle back down.
Any sense of trends from your perspective?

Tried San Jose $41

Milpitas South San Jose $45

Having done bidding for almost every week for the last six months for San Jose at 3*, I can pretty much guarantee that for between $40 and $50 in San Jose you'll get the Holiday Inn, the Wyndam or [less often] the Radison Plaza. Add Milpitas to the mix and you get the Beverly Heritage and [once] the Crown Plaza. All are free parking, none have a free breakfast. I've tried 2.5* as low as $31 with no luck. Seems the 3*+ are the real deals.
The only suggestion I would make if the above doesn't work would be to try 4* San Jose $55 to $65. You might end up downtown and you'll certainly pay parking.
Good luck. I'd be curious to see what you get in the end.
