daydream Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 I will be taking my kids to San Diego Sea World/Zoo/Wildlife Park from Jul 5~7 (3 night). I plan to book a 2.5*/3* hotel through PL and would like to know which zone should have the cheaper hotel. From the map, it seem Mission Valley is the suitable one, but I don't mind traveling 15 mins more since I will be renting a car.I apologize if this is not the correct place to ask. Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Why not include all the zones which are acceptable (or use all the zones strategically to increase the number of bidding opportunities you have) and allow the zone with the least expensive hotel be the one to accept your bid? :)Once your plans are firm if you'd like us to suggest a strategy for you to follow, let us know which zone(s) are acceptable, your desired star rating, and maximum budget, and we'll advise accordingly.I'll also add to be aware that PRICELINE only guarantees double occupancy, so it's possible that you receive a room with only one bed. If this is not an acceptable risk, HOTWIRE may be an option as it allows you to search for up to quad occupancy.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.PS- please follow-up your previous Hotwire Toronto thread with whatever you ended up doing for that stay. Thanks. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
