Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Monterey Hyatt Regency Monterey

[trickyazn]

I read through the whole guidelines for Priceline here and I was impressed with all of your great successes on obtaining great deals!

So I tried the Monterey area for starting bid of 70 for a 4* and that didn't work out, I added Carmel for 75 and that didn't work out either. I also went down a to 3* and still without success. I am apparently over the limit so I won't be able to bid again until tomorrow. Are there any tips I'm missing?

BTW I don't want to stay in the surrounding cities, only Monterey and Carmel.

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to BetterBidding, trickyazn.

Based on rates for your dates, a summer weekend, you're bidding way too low. You probably need to be more in $125-175 range for 4* or 3.5* in Monterey.

Please use these HOTWIRE and PRICELINE links for your purchases.

I suppose is there any chance I can just limit the search for just hotels with pools? I understand both 3* and up hotels have them, just that the 2* hotels may not.

Pool isn't guaranteed on a PRICELINE reservation. You can guarantee by buying a hotel with Pool icon on HOTWIRE.

In another thread you posted that you bid to $95 for 3* in Monterey and Carmel. Hotwire has a 3.5* in Monterey for $129. You might be able to get a 3.5* or 3* on Priceline for $100-110?

If you don't want to bid higher than you have maybe try for 2.5* in Carmel and Monterey.

I can only source a hotel for 136 per night. I believe in the other thread the OP said he was able to find a 3.5* for 100 per night. I will bid a bit less tonight to see if theres any success for double digits/per night.

Good luck and keep us updated.

Thanks for using the PRICELINE link to begin your bidding.

Sorry for a late post. I paid $110/day before taxes on my 7/16-7/18 trip via priceline. The trip to Monterey was awesome.

Overall with taxes was ~$250.

I stayed at the Hyatt hotel and spa. Great hotel. If anyone wishes to stay there, I highly recommend it.
