  1. We tried again this evening and got a successful bid at this fantastic hotel. We're really pleased with the result. Looking forward to a nice couple of nights here this weekend for a fantastic price. Used the PRICELINE link for this bid.
  2. We wouldn't mind staying in any of those areas. We did it up to $140 but got nowhere. At the moment we've decided to try again in a few weeks when its not labor day and will possibly be cheaper.
  3. It would be nice to be downtown, but we are flexible. The only thing we want is that it has to be a four star.
  4. Oh something I forgot to mention that when we bid $115, we got one of those things where it offers you a deal, and it was at $147. That means that we were close to getting a secure bid doesn't it? Its been a while since I've done this.
  5. We'd probably go up to around 135-140 I guess. We'd also be willing to consider San Diego Coastal, Coronado, and the Del Mar areas
  6. Hey guys, I've been trying to get a hotel downtown for next weekend, we've bid up to $111 a night with no luck so far. Does anyone have any tips, suggestions or ideas about what sort of price we should go up to in order to secure a hotel in this area? Many thanks
  7. I don't know whether to start a new thread now but I managed to cock this completely up. Well not completely but its still annoying. I thought I'd try rebidding as it is getting near to the dates I require. I started doing this when I was half asleep at 5am. So anyway I started bidding at $59, and added areas which I thought didn't have 4 star hotels located in them as per the instructions. I was up to about $65, so I did a rebid at $67, but due to being half asleep, I added San Diego Coastal, as opposed to North County Coastal. The bid was accepted and initially I was excited, but then noticed that it said Hyatt Regency La Jolla. So I've ended up with the Hyatt Regency La Jolla, on 14th January until 17th January for $67 a night. Seems to be around $30-40 cheaper than the actual price so not too bad. Gutted that it isn't in downtown, but this hotel trip was about staying with my girlfriend in a nice hotel and spending some time together, so its not entirely a disaster. I'm planning on another hotel trip hopefully in downtown the weekend before valentines day.
  8. I just checked out this thread: Priceline San Diego specifically the last post in the thread, and the bloke said that he booked all his hotels 1-2 weeks before he intended to stay. I think maybe that is a determining factor. I'll just have to wait and give it a go. Just checked the internet, and this is on 13-15th Jan: http://www.bvents.com/event/251282-asr-access No idea how big of an event it is, and it is on Thursday-Saturday so wouldn't have thought it was that big of an event. I don't know though.
  9. I've gone up as high as $79 recently. Prior to that when I tried in October and early November I went up to $95ish. Its not imperative that I stay in a hotel that weekend, I thought it would be something nice to do. I didn't want to go too much above that, as literally everyone who listed a report on here for the same area scored between $65-90 on a 4 star in downtown. I will try in a few weeks time, which will be two weeks until that weekend.
  10. Its just over a month away now until I go. I keep trying but I'm not getting anywhere. I tried changing the duration to just two nights as that is a more conventional staying time, but no luck. Is it going to be pricier because its a national holiday? Any more advice would be greatly appreciated.
  11. My girlfriend told me that its a public holiday that weekend, which is the reason she has the day off. I strongly suspect that may have something to do it. I think its Presidents Day or something. Being from England I'm not too well up on American public holidays.
  12. Thank you for that. I'll give it a go if I decide to get a backup. :) Its just a guess but I assume me not getting a really good deal at the moment is down to the dates being far away, as there is a user posted recently that got a $60 bid accepted for the same area, but thats a few weeks away as opposed to three months. Don't know how the system works exactly but thats the only thing I could think it would be. I'll keep on trying. :)
  13. Thank you for the reply. I will definitely update the thread. I was tempted to book the Westgate as a backup as the rates for that place seem reasonable at the moment. Or possibly the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay as that place on Orbitz has buy two nights get the third free which works out well. Downside is obviously going to be at least $450 for the three days. It is just under three months away so will give it ago weekly I suppose. :)
  14. Hello. I'm looking for the said star hotel and area for dates 14/1/11-17/1/11. I've used the method given for bidding and up to around my 11th bid for the day, I obviously have time on my side so I'm tempted to start fresh again tomorrow evening. I've had numerous bids starting around $55 and I'm now at $85. I am willing to go up to $100, but the average price from pretty much every other review in the forum seems to be around $70 for the type of hotel and area, so ideally I'd like it to be around that price. Am I doing something wrong? I know that its a few months away yet, does that make much of a difference? From what I've read it doesn't seem to be a massive factor. Or would it be an idea to wait until a few weeks beforehand? Many thanks for any advice.
