I decided to book through Travelocity. Thanks anyways.

Can I ask you how you arrived at that guess??

I get five hotels listed. I am hoping to score the Estancia, but based on the descriptions provided against the reported wins, I can't really eliminate any of the choices. Any ideas?? The Hotwire hotel list for Estancia shows a "childrens activities" tag for the Estancia, which seems to be unique for the star/area category, but I don't see anything on my Hotwire results that would help narrow things down. Are there other ways I can search for this?

Based on what I see about the Declan online, I don't really want to risk bidding on it. Are there any alternatives to this that I might be missing? That is useful to know about the "suite" listing meaning that the whole properly is suites. I guess that does rule out the Doubletree.

Thanks. I checked out Hotwire, and there is the following hotel listed in the Downton-Little Italy area at $88/night: 3.5 stars, free Internet, Suite, Business Center, Indoor Pool for 11/27-11/28. Based on what I can tell, this seems to be the Doubletree. However, from looking at the Doubletree site, it seems this hotel offers both single and double rooms. Is there an option in Hotwire to select a suite, or are you at the mercy of whatever you are assigned by the front desk person?

Thank you - this was very helpful and informative. I was obviously unaware that the Embassy Suites was in a different zone, which explains why I couldn't find it. This is a very helpful site. :) I am looking for a room for 11/27-11/28 in San Diego, near the Zoo. I am looking for a suite for some privacy from my children, which is why I was looking at Embassy Suites.

I am looking for a hotel in San Diego for a few days after Thanksgiving. According to the Priceline hotel listing for San Diego, the only 3.5 star hotel in Downtown-Marina is an Embassy Suites. Great! Awesome! Finally some privacy from my kids! Now I can bid super-intelligently. But when I poke around the forum and try to see what other successes people have had with this bid, I see no other corresponding hotels (3.5 star hotels in Downtown-Marina). So my question is - someone, somewhere had a reason for adding Embassy Suites as the 3.5 star hotel in Downtown-Marina. But if it not based on a report submitted on the form, what is that based on? I understand that hotels change, that rankings change, that a hotel that once may have been included no longer is, etc - but presumably there is a reason for the hotel to end up this in the first place. If the answer is proprietary, then I understand. Just wondering what the rationale is for something making the list to begin with.
