Mike29m14 Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 Anyone have any suggestions as to what range I should be looking at here? I have seen posts for 65 a night but my priceline bid of 80 was recently denied. Any advice would be appreicated. Link to comment

Mike29m14 Posted June 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2003 Wanted the Downtonw area. Have not seen much posted baout that area. Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 2, 2003 Report Share Posted June 2, 2003 I looked at one of the reported hotels in the area, Manchester Hyatt, which has rates for your dates of $279/nite; exact dates one week later are at $185/nite... so perhaps demand is stronger in the area for your dates.It may take a higher bid amount (if you supply your max bid, i'll try to come up with a strategy for you) or you may have to lower your expectations to a 3* (which also may require a higher bid if demand is indeed higher than usual for these dates). Do you know if there is a convention/show in town during this timeframe?You may also want to consider Hotwire, which i looked at for your dates and there is a 3.5* suite hotel for $81/nite. (and other options ranging from $37-$104). I mention this in case you're not successful with your next round of bidding and don't have the opportunity to bid again via Priceline.

Scorp Posted June 2, 2003 Report Share Posted June 2, 2003 The Hilton in Gaslamp Quarter is quite nice and appears in successful bids within your bidding limits. But it is sold out for your last night (June 7th).... don't know if you are interested in a shorter stay or a second hotel for the last night? You may already know that Priceline (and Hotwire) include Harbor Island in the Downtown zone, and although close to downtown, you can't just walk out the door to a lot of places like you can from the Gaslamp Hilton or Westin at Horton Plaza. I have stayed at the Sheraton on Harbor Island and it is quite nice, but you might feel like you are staying at the airport there. It seems to be getting quite pricey, also, you might have to go $10 - $20 higher to get it through Priceline. If you bid Coastal zone, you will have a good chance of getting the Hyatt La Jolla at $49 (as you can see from other post, and I was successful with this hotel twice at that bid level earlier in the year). It is not very near to the La Jolla shops or Cove, but highway access is close and easy if you have a car. Link to comment
