Priceline Hotel: 4* Monterey Marriott Monterey

[Cindy_M]

In an effort to land a 4* property in Monterey, I used J-R's recent strategy as a guide for our dates of 8/2/10-8/4/10 for 2 rooms.

I checked the following sites for rates:

Intercontental - $219

Marriott - $229

Hotwire - $129 (with these amenities: Smoke Free, High Speed Internet & Golf)

Used Priceline link and bid the following:

Zone 3, 4*, $99 - Rejected

Added Zone 4, $106 - Rejected

Started new bid, Zone 3 + Zone 1, 4*, $111 - Received a counter offer of $131 and turned it down

Added Zone 4, $114 - Rejected

Started new bid, Zone 3 + Zone 2, 4*, $117 - Rejected

Added Zone 4, $119 - Rejected

Started new bid, Zone 3 + Zone 1 + Zone 2, 4*, $121 (I believe this is where I received my second counter offer of $141 and turned it down)

Added Zone 4, $124 - WON!

Marriott Monterey for $124 per night. Thanks for the bidding help! Don't think I could have done it without you guys~
