I got my 2.5 star hotel for $62 a night. Came out to $726. Came in well below budget, and I'm happy to have a full kitchen for my trip. It's a 10 or 15 mintue trip from Sunnyvale, which is good. Thanks!

Ok, by preference order.... Sunnyvale Cupertino/Campbell Santa Clara Mountain View San Jose Milpitas Palo Alto

If 3* bid is rejected, then 3* in all areas, then I'll go 2.5* in Sunnyvale, then 2.5* in all areas. After looking at it some more, I'll include all of San Jose and add Milpitas and Santa Clara. South San Jose wouldn't be ideal, but the rest of the city would be fine. Thanks for your help!

Ok, my main goal is to get the nicest place possible in Sunnyvale. 3* would be nice but I think my budget would be more like 2.5* Next choices for area are Cupertino/Campbell, Mountain View and West San Jose. I think in that case I would want to bid in Sunnyvale only for 3* up to my limit (starting at what?), then widen the search if that doesn't work out? What do you think?

Whoops, yes, it's 10/4/14 through 10/14/14.

Hello, I've read through some of these topics on this area. Looks like the best chance for some of the Sunnyvale/San Jose area hotels are for weekends only. I'm open to Cupertino/Campbell, Mountain View and West San Jose, but don't really want to go further out than that. For a long trip, any suggestions for bidding strategy? Is it different than a shorter trip? Less Choices? Would like a 2.5* or 3*. Prefer to stay under $800 total (80 total per night).
