Priceline Hotel: 2.5* San Jose (Mountain View) Residence Inn Mountain View

[galdang]

I tried to get a room in Palo Alto, going up to $60 for a 3* (which last year turned out to be the Courtyard), and $75 for a 3.5*.

After failing for over a week, I learned from another poster (scroll down to Mr. Sparky's post from last week) and went for a 2.5* in Mountain View.

No luck at $40 (his bid), so I added Palo Alto and got it for $45.

This Residence Inn is just a mile or so south of the Courtyard in Palo Alto, and should work out just fine.

And of course I used the PRICELINE link at the top right of this page...

Glad to see you're pleased with the result and this property will work well for your plans. Included internet and breakfast are two great perks of this chain.

Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding.

Hi Galdang,

Can you please confirm if the hotel you won is the following?

Residence Inn Palo Alto Mountain View, 1854 El Camino Real West

Mountain View, CA 94040

If so it is really a bargain. I am also looking for similar property in Palo Alto area.

Hi nsrao98, yes it is. I think it should work out quite well, as it is isn't far from Palo Alto. If you bid in Palo Alto and get the Courtyard (3*), it's only 1.7 miles north.

Of course, if you bid in Mountain View you might also get one of those properties along 85 and El Camino, such as Hotel Zico.
