My wife and her family are headed down and the best she could do was $89 plus tax per room at a Holiday Inn Express, so I think we still made out fine (at least $30 per room per night savings). Maybe there's a convention in town for these dates?!? Any suggestions on a better way we could have handled this situation? It seems that this hotel can usually be had for around $49, although I've seen bids in the $50-$60 range, too.

It took a few nights of trying on this one. There are 3 free re-bids when trying for a 3 star in the Disneyland area. On night one, I worked up to $50. On night two, it was up to $58. On night three it was up to $59. All were rejected. On night four, I tried $55 and then $59 and finally got the rooms. Congratulations, you got your price of $59 for a 3-star hotel room.

We are Disneyland AP holders and stayed here from February 23-25, 2005 during a short trip. We have two children, ages 4 & 6. We used Priceline when booking the hotel for this trip and ended up getting $38 per night (w/o taxes) in room 303. The hotel is in Placentia, just a 10-12 minute trip up the 57 Freeway from the Disney parking garage. The hotel was clean and is surrounded by office buildings and some light industrial. The room was average size with two queens. The seperate bathroom had the sink, toilet and shower/tub together. No microwave or refrigerator here, but there was free wireless internet access available in the room. The continental breakfast was quite good. It included toast, bagels, donuts, cold cereal, self-serve waffle maker, fruit, milk, juices and coffee. Complimentary USA Today's were available for pick up in the lobby. We didn't have to call on the staff other than during check-in & out. They were friendly enough. There is an outdoor pool, but we didn't make use of it as we spent our time at the Disneyland Resort, heading out early and coming home late. If you don't mind a short drive, the price including the breakfast and internet access are tough to beat.

Congratulations, you got your price of $38 for a 2-star hotel room. <-- Star Ratings Fairfield Inn Anaheim Placentia Orange County (Fullerton-Brea) 710 West Kimberly Avenue Placentia, California 92870 714-996-4410 Check-In Date: Wed, Feb 23, 2005 Check-In Time: After 03:00 PM Check-Out Date: Fri, Feb 25, 2005 Check-Out Time: 12:00 PM Your Offer Price: $38.00 Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 2 Subtotal: $76 Taxes and Service Fees: $16.86 Total Charges: $92.86 I went into the bid thinking we might get the Holiday Inn Placentia (very similar to this hotel). The rate included wireless internet access in-room and a pretty good continental breakfast each morning.
