Listed as 2 Star "New to Hotwire Hotel in the Kailua-Kona" Area. I was pretty positive this was the Kona Seaside based on the guest approval ratings. My dread was getting Uncle Billy's.
I've stayed here before and it was perfectly pleasant. It's for one night before driving to Hilo. Now to look for a resort when we come back to Kona on the 28th! ;)
The prices I was seeing on PRICELINE weren't much different from rack racks & non-bidding travel sites, so I went ahead and booked direct for a little place in what I believe would be considered "Opera Quarter East - Les Halles." I was able to stay in budget & I am very pleased with my choice.
Looks like several folks are winning Marriott Rive Gauche (4* Latin Quarter) within your budget, but I'm not sure if that's the price you'll get for October. You have plenty of time to rebid if you aren't finding what you like.
If you already know that you are willing to forgo the charm, there seem to be many affordable hotels in the Latin Quarter. Good Luck.
Hi,
Interested in any input on bidding strategy for hotels:
I always seem to love places highly rated by tripadvisor, but I don't think it's possible to aim for a group of hotels in that fashion.
(Not sure if I should repost this on hotwire forum or not?)
Thanks!

Ah, I just listed the "Hot Rate" amenities. When I used the tool I clicked on Hotwire straight away.
