Aldo, I appreciate your advice so very much :) I would trust any other parents advice any day, in a similar situation. Your patience and support is really touching :) Yeah I will definately consider not driving to LA ...my little one gets very impatient on long drives anyway :) Thank you :o

Scorp - I will definately do as suggested. I will post my results as soon as I try. Thanks :)

Dear administrator, can you also move my post to the Priceline forum ? :) It would seem more appropriate there...Thanks ! :) thereuare says: others following along won't know to look there if we move it at this point.... keep this thread active and if priceline is ultimately used we'll move the thread there once a hotel is won

Guys - I really really appreciate all the suggestions that all you guys have been making. As Scorp, you have pointed out I will not try hotwire first, and rely on Priceline first. And as aldo has suggested maybe I will go in for Country Inn Suites in Sorrento Mesa (if I get lucky that is :) ). Do you think that the hotel is safe for a small family like mine (me, wife & infant) Another thing guys - what if I reduced my stay by one day in San Diego by one day, and spent it in nearby LA ? I have seen posts that state that stay in LA is relatively cheaper ? I am little disheartened by the high prices in SDiego :o - so here can be my new Check in and Check out dates for SD. Friday June 24th Check in, Sunday 26th June check out. The only reason I wanted to go to SD on these dates was because next weeked after this was the long weekend for 4th of July - when I thought hotels would definately be costly. I can't thank you guys enuff for helping with all your suggestions. Me and my family really appreciate all your thoughts & ideas :)

Whoops you are correct :) I did mean 3 days. June 24th check in, June 27th check out. I had booked my car for the earlier 23rd, and hence I wrote that by mistake. I apologise. :o As for dropping down to 2*, yes I am willing to drop down to that level - I am assuming that the place will be decent & safe for a small family like mine. Again, I will be willing to consider any other area in San Diego also - but I really cannot go over $60 :) I mentioned Courtyard in Old town, for $45 as my bid successfully for it on the Memorial day Sunday. Hope this helps... :)

Here are the dates that I am looking for June 23rd Check in and June 27th Check out. As for the regions, though I do not have too much of a prefrence, I would say Coastal, Old town & point loma, Delmar, Sorrento Mesa would be the order of prefrence. One of my friend stayed in Courtyard in Old town for $45 on the memorial day weekend Sunday, and he said it was a nice clean & comfortable place - even though parking was $12. I am really hoping to get a decent place for less than $60/day for the 3 days i am looking for. :) Thank you

I am looking for a decent place to spend the last weekend in June with my wife and infant daughter in San Diego. We plan to see the SD Zoo, and after that just relax - hence ALL areas are ok with me. I will be driving from a neighbouring state, and have been to SD once hence driving within city hopefully should not be a problem for me. My big constraint is the budget. I am hoping to put down between $40- $65 per day for my 3 day stay. (with hopefully no extra parking charges) :) I do not have a backup hotel booked as yet, and am depending only on priceline at the moment. If the priceline bids fail - i may have to cancel my entire trip.. :) HELP !
