Please follow-up your previous Priceline NYC thread with whatever you ended up doing for that stay... then bump this thread and we'll have a look at the above.

PS. Allways follow-up your threads with whatever you end up doing, even if you chose to book direct, cancell your trip, etc.

I responded to my NY thread. How do I bump this post?

I'm not currently seeing the property above when searching HOTWIRE for your date... are you still seeing this on your own search? If so, are you searching for more than one room or for more than the default 2adults/0children?

I've been trying to replicate that search as well, but I'm thinking that HOTWIRE removed it. I didn't put Monterey as my search city, but put in Salinas instead. That would be a good tip for anyone looking to book in the Monterey area - you get more re-bids in PRICELINE and more hotels seem to pop up in Hotwire.

Anyways, I haven't had any luck with either PRICELINE or HOTWIRE for Monterey. As I'm not picky as to where to stay and as Monterey seems a little too far north, I will try bidding / searching in a different area instead. I'm driving up the coast from San Diego to San Francisco and need a place to stay overnight.

Definitely the Holiday Inn Express in Seaside off Del Monte Blvd -- I just booked on Hotwire 6/14-6/15 for $68 and the same amenities.

I've been waiting for the Canadian dollar to go up to get a better exchange rate on my hotel purchase. It went up slightly today, so I checked this website before bidding and of course used the PRICELINE link.

I saw how others were getting the Grand Hyatt, so I bid on USE 4*. Priceline is currently having a $5/day bonus cash promotion, so I started bidding at $74 (plus $5 =$79). I got rejected, but had an offer to increase by $15. I declined, used two re-bids and increased each bid by $1.

Your Offer Price: $76.00

Number of Rooms: 1

Number of Nights: 3

Subtotal: $228.00

Taxes and Fees: $47.28

Total Charges*: $275.28

Very happy with my purchase. Thank you betterbidding and to everyone who has posted on this site!
