8Ball2005 Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Want to stay July 6th, 7th and 8th. Really tough bid it appears, and the hotel quality seems to vary greatly. I guess a decent 2 to 2 1/2 star is what I'm looking for, because 3 & 4 stars are outrageous. Would prefer to be in santa cruz or capitola and not watsonville. In other words, somewhere near the beach. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Welcome to Betterbidding. :)What would be your desired budget per night? Additionally, it's not possible to guarantee a decent 2.5*; HOTWIRE may be a better choice - while more expensive, it'll at least possibly offer a better sense of quality and/or amenities.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Colfax Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Santa Cruz is a really tough PRICELINE bid, especially in summer. Noone has ever reported winning a 2* in Santa Cruz on this board.Some (most?) of the 1*/2* motels near the beach in Santa Cruz are run down and there's no way to guarantee you'll win one of the better hotels bidding on PRICELINE.HOTWIRE has a 2* in Santa Cruz-Scotts Valley for $82, and it's got a 2.5/5 TripAdvisor rating, which isn't good. Probably one of the Travelodges or something similar.There's also a 3* for $87 with a better 3.5/5 rating, but no guarantee it's near the beach. Link to comment
