4* San Diego (Downtown and Harbor Island) Westin San Diego 400 West Broadway San Diego, CA 92101 619-239-4500 Room Cost (avg. per room, per night): $95.00 (USD) Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 1 Room Subtotal: $95.00 (USD) Taxes and Fees: $20.30 (USD) Total Room Cost: $115.30 (USD) Hotels.com rate is $270 after taxes Hotwire equivalent is $133 after taxes, but I think it was a hotel I didn't want. Happy with this hotel-- and yelp reviews give tips for metered parking to avoid the $30ish valet fee. (I'm sorry, I used the Better Bidding PRICELINE link for bidding earlier this week, but somehow forgot to link through it today) Rejected Bidding History: 4* San Diego Coastal at $80, went up to $90 (Included Coronado and 3 rebid zones) 3.5* San Diego Coastal at $65, went up to $85 (Included San Diego Coastal and 2 rebid zones) 3* San Diego Coastal at $65, went up to $75 (Included Del Mar - Rancho Santa Fe, Point Loma - Shelter Island - Old Town, Coronado and 2 rebid zones) 3.5* Hotel Circle - Mission Valley West at $65, went up to $95 (Included Included Del Mar - Rancho Santa Fe, Point Loma - Shelter Island - Old Town, Coronado, San Diego Coastal and a bunch of rebid zones) 4* Downtown and Harbor Island, started at $80, went up by $5 increments, accepted at $95

I just had this happen-- Westin Reston Heights (reston, VA) I won a 4* hotel and was transferred to a 3.5* hotel with no compensation. They also charged $250 on my credit card with the promise it would be debited back since that's the "only way they can do things." at least it wasn't a bigger downgrade and I've contacted PRICELINE, not sure if they'll do anything about it though.

4* The Westin Reston Heights 11750 Sunrise Valley Drive Reston, VA 20191 5/20/10-5/21/10 Room Cost (avg. per room, per night): $54.00 (USD) Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 1 Room Subtotal: $54.00 (USD) Taxes and Fees: $13.57 (USD) Total Room Cost: $67.57 (USD) I think this hotel was on hotwire for $62 a night, so some savings there.
