Using the PRICELINE link, I tried bidding again this afternoon. Monterey 4* $120 + Seaside 4* $125 + Pacific Grove 4* $130 Still no luck. HOTWIRE has The Clement Monterey for $168 a night on their hot Rates. Was considering just booking that. Was surprised that my bid of $130 was not accepted after seeing the hot Rate of $168. Any suggestions on the next set of bids to try? Was thinking 135, 140, 145, then if I didn't get any, just booking the hot Rate. I have been checking the hot Rates every day and this is the first time the Clement has shown up. In the past, it has always been the Hyatt Regency at $198.
