Hotwire Hotel: 3.5 Star Mission Valley San Diego Help!

[hu1112]

Just found this web site today. Very helpful.

But I am trying to book Marriott Mission Valley on Priceline for Sept 15-19/10

Priceline offer these 3 hotels under 3.5 stars:

San Diego (Mission Valley)

3.5* DoubleTree Mission Valley tripadvisor review

3.5* Hilton REVIEW / tripadvisor review

3.5* Marriott Mission Valley REVIEW

I do not wish to stay at the Hilton as it has bad review. I would like to stay at the Marriott.

What is the trick to bid so that I can make sure I don't end up at Hilton?

Thanks!

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

There is no way to guarantee a particular property via PRICELINE bidding. If you were to bid for a 3.5* in the zone, you could potentially get any of the participating 3.5*'s in the zone. Are you only interested in the Marriott, or are there other hotels in the zone that would be acceptable? You could see if HOTWIRE is offering any possible alternatives. The list of HOTWIRE hotels in CA that have been reported to the board is available at the Hotwire Hotel List.

Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Thanks for the reply.

I tried to bid $50, but got rejected. I am only interested in Mission Valley area.

Is there a way to re-bid with the same setting? or I have to wait for 24 hours?

thanks!

Yes, I tried the re-bid for $55 (I saw someone got winning at this price) but still got reject.

Why it didn't counterbid? is it because of the long weekend? I'll try for $58, if not success, I'll try another zone & hotel.

A counterbid got nothing to do with the length of your stay. Sometimes they just don't appear when you're bidding.

Let us know if you need any help.

I have decided to go for other hotel on other website as I did not get the price I want on PRICELINE.

Thank you for all the help.
