thereuare Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 ...2 adults, 2 kids (10 and 4)...This is the key difference, as different results can often be seen when searching for double vs. quad occupancy. You need to be very careful with this one as i believe there are currently two different hotels being offered from one search to the next, one with a 50% recommendation from previous guests, and one with a 65% recommendation... if you look at the breakdown of user recommendations the 50% one has a few 2.5/5.0 among the rankings... the 65% one has 3/5 or better across the board. 1) can you confirm which one you're seeing 2) we can probably come up with a few possibilities, but not confidently narrow this down to one specific property... are you comfortable with the low ratings above and not having a very good handle on which hotel it is most likely to be? What exactly are your needs for this trip? (maybe there is something nearby that is better rated and also suitable for your needs) Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

HollyJR Posted May 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 I have seen both the 50% and the 65% at different times (I have run it a few times since I posted the first request). I have been watching the rates and specials hoping to fine a deal I couldn't pass up before I start really bidding for this trip. We will need 2 hotel rooms (1 in San Diego, this bid) and 1 in Anahaim for the rest of the trip (07/07-07/12). I was trying to ID this deal to see if this was a good deal on a 2* that is an above agerage 2* or if it is a just a 2* and I will should keep looking. I think on this one I will pass and keep an eye out. I am going to start my bidding next week using your Bidding.Helpper. Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 With the lower user recommendation percentages these aren't anything i would feel the need to jump on at the moment (although rates for these dates do generally seem high in this zone). Once you're ready to bid, if you would like help with a bidding strategy let us know your desired star rating and maximum bid and we will advise accordingly. In the meantime you can/should sign up for a few alerts using our new RateDrop service and you can get an email anytime a hotel in your desired star rating and zones drops to your desired price point (and you can set alerts for 'known' hotel names too) Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases. Keep us updated on your progress and let us know how we can be of further help along the way.

thereuare Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Let us know once you're ready to move forward, but in the future please wait until you're plans are firm and you're ready to commit before asking for hotel ID's, as the hotels above may not be the ones that are offered (or the prices may change substantially no longer making them viable options) once you're ready to make your purchase.

HollyJR Posted June 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Thanks for assistance, but I am going to pass on this one. Too far of a drive for our activities (Sea World, Legoland, and SD Safari Park). I will keep looking, hoping to stay around the $100 per night mark. Not sure how realistic that is. <_< Link to comment

thereuare Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 My guess for this one would be the Super 8 Wild Animal Park. However, I'm only seeing this property when searching for 2adults/0children... are you still including the children in your search?
