4 rooms for 07/15-07/18. Submitted bid for $70 at 3* level in Mission Valley, rejected. Added Escondido and rebid at $80, rejected. Added San Ysidro and rebid $85. Accepted by Sheraton Mission Valley.

Yep it makes sense now, I did notice those larger numbers when I went back to the menu. I should have clued in the first time. Also, I did call the Crowne and they were really nice but said there wasn't a way to guarantee 2 beds per room (I even asked if there was a fee I could pay). They checked the occupancy for me on that day and said if I checked in early I could probably get 2 beds/rm.

Just a heads-up to other new HOTWIRE users: When entering the number of people for your reservation it is for the total number of people, not the number of people per room. I made a mistake by entering a reservation for 2 rooms, 2 adults, 2 kids thinking it was people per room. When I got my confirmation it was for 2 rooms but only guaranteed for 2 people in each room (1 bed per room). I should have entered 2 rooms, 4 adults, 4 kids.

The rate for La Costa actually started increasing for the 18th and 19th (now $226). I ended up booking at the Carlsbad Hampton Inn for the 18th ($145 using their website) and at the Anaheim Crowne Plaza ($60 using the HOTWIRE link from this site, posted in another thread). Thanks for all the help.

1 night stay (08/19), 2 rooms, 2 adults/2 kids per room 3.5* Disneyland South, $60/night - pool(s) - restaurant(s) - business center - high-speed internet access Using amenity hints from this site suggested Crowne Plaza. Booked rooms using the HOTWIRE link found here and got the Crowne Plaza. Great site!

Yellowdog, Thanks for the info, the family is now considering staying in Carlsbad (now for 2 days, 08/18 & 19). With information from this site I think I'm going to shoot for the La Costa resort. I've seen others get rates for around $130. I'm seeing them alot higher (around $300) for my dates, but as they get closer it seems to be dropping (now around $200). I'll let you know how it goes and will definitely use the HOTWIRE link from this site. Thanks!
