sjstarkey Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Trying to figure out this hotel.I am trying for san diego area - 2 adults 1 child It comes up with this hotel at $82 a night.Amenities are:Comp. breakfast, pool, laundry, internet access, kitchenette.Any ideas what it could be? It shows tripadvisor rating as 2 1/2, but I do not see these amenities on tripadvisor for a 2 1/2 rating.Thanks for the help,Staci Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 The Days Inn has previously been reported in this zone with the amenities above so that would be my best guess for this one... although i'd be very careful given the Tripadvisor rating.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... and your searches too!Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

sjstarkey Posted July 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Our dates are still 7/29/-8/1/10. There are 2 adults and 1 child. The amenities are listed as:Comp. BreakfastPool InternetIt doesn't have a suite icon so I know it cannot be the Quality Inn. Any ideas?? I am trying to find a hotel that has a pool and a micro/refrigerator in the room.Thanks,staci Link to comment
sjstarkey Posted July 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 I am looking for a room near san diego. We can stay anywhere from Oceanside, to La Mesa. I would like a place that has a pool and maybe a micro/fridge and a free breakfast. I have been looking on hotwire, but I do not like the prices. I have done priceline hotels in San Diego, but can't figure out what star level to do, for the above mention amenities. I can live without everything except the pool.I would like to keep the price at no more than $70..Any suggestions?? Link to comment
sjstarkey Posted July 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 The dates are for 7/29-8/1/10. It wouldn't let me edit my post. Link to comment

BeritOlam Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 3-stars would be extremely ambitious with those summer dates and a $70/day budget.I'm thinking you might have to settle for 2 or 2 1/2 (if anything!)....and it'll probably be no where near the water! :) :) Link to comment

sjstarkey Posted July 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 I am still trying to find a hotel for 7/29-8/1. I understand that it isn't going to be waterfront for the $70. I have found a few on hotwire, for about $80, but can't figure out what 1 of them is. I have listed all the amenities and such in an above post.I fgured I would try priceline, because hotwire isn;t giving me very many options. I need something with at least a pool. I would love to have a micro/refrig in the room, but if not we can llive without. I really do not care about star ratings as long as I can have the pool. I notice that Motel6 in Oceanside, has a pool and some other things I want, but I do not know if this has ever come up on priceline.Any help with this would be appreciated. Link to comment
slruud Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 I must be missing something here. What areas/zones is the OP looking for a hotel?If Motel 6 is acceptable, why not just book it via their website. Looks like their rates are pretty reasonable. A room with two beds at one of the Oceanside Motel 6's is $66.00. Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 I fgured I would try priceline... I need something with at least a pool.You're not going to be able to ensure a hotel with a pool, one of your requirements, when using PRICELINEI have found a few on hotwire, for about $80, but can't figure out what 1 of them is. I have listed all the amenities and such in an above post.There are a few different zones and hotels listed above... please re-post the current offering you're referring to.I must be missing something here. What areas/zones is the OP looking for a hotel?I imagine it was in the topic title of one of the threads but was replaced with a different topic title when the threads were merged.

sjstarkey Posted July 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I am looking for a 2 1/2* for around $65 for 7/29-8/1. I would like to get something in Oceanside, Carlsbad, Coastal San Diego, or I would do Mission Valley if I had to.I am looking for something that would possibly have a pool and a comp. brkfst and I believe I have a better chance with a 2 1/2 for these amenities.I believe the 2 1/2* rating will keep me from getting the Mission Valley Resort, since it seems like it is rated a 2*. We stayed there last year and hated it, so I am leery of bidding on the Mission Valley area if I might get this hotel.Any help with bidding strategies would be appreciated. :) Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 To confirm... you first want to bid for the Oceanside, Carlsbad, and Coastal San Diego zones up to $65, then if that is rejected try for the Mission Valley zone?Is that correct?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

sjstarkey Posted July 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Yes I would like to bid on the costal zones first and if I have to go with Mission Valley zone. Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 At the 2.5* level you don't have any re-bid zones. Select 2.5* Coastal...Bid $45, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 2.5* Carlsbad...Bid $45, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 2.5* Oceanside...Bid $45, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 2.5* Carlsbad and Coastal...Bid $50, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 2.5* Carlsbad and Oceanside...Bid $50, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 2.5* Coastal and Oceanside and Carlsbad...Bid $55Start with the above, if rejected we'll revise to try again in 24 hours up to $65, then if that is rejected we'll add Mission Valley to the bidding.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

sjstarkey Posted July 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 I did try to do the bidding strategy you reccommended for a lower star. Then I saw that someone had gotten a 3* in the Sorrento Mesa area for $75. Since I had the Entertainment Book discount, I figured I would try there also. I ended up getting the Courtyard by Marriott SAn Diego, Sorrento Mesa. It looks good and they have a refrigerator and a pool which are important to me. I called and asked if I could get a room with 2 beds and was told that I would have a room w/ a king and a sofabed. Seems like it is the same thing....I paid $69 plus the $10 a night from the Entertainment Book.Thanks for the help.Staci Link to comment
