mustangmonica Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 I am planning a trip to Spring Break in the Napa/Sonoma Valley area. I've read many of the postings here on the area and emulated them. Unfortunately, I am not having much luck.I selected a 4* in Rohnert ($49) and was rejected. Added Sonoma and rebid ($51), rejected again. Added Napa and rebid ($52) again rejected. All that is left is Fairfield and I'm not sure I want to end up out there.Help! :) My dates were check in March 28 thru March 31.....midweek.
thereuare Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 What is the most you are willing to bid? When did you make your last bid (and can bid again)? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
mustangmonica Posted March 24, 2005 Author Report Posted March 24, 2005 I am willing to bid around $55/night. I gave in and changed the star rating to 3* and rebid at $55/night and was succesful. I took a gamble knowing I'd probably not get the Hyatt in Santa Rosa by changing the star rating. But from the looks of it the Doubletree is quite nice. Expedia.com has it listed as a 4*. I also checked tripadvisor.com and the reviews are quite positive. I will post the winning bid information seperately.Thanks, Monica :)
mustangmonica Posted March 24, 2005 Author Report Posted March 24, 2005 I started off with a 4* $49 bid in Rohnert Park. Bid rejected. Added Sonoma and bid $50; still rejected. Added Napa and bid $51; rejected again. Gave in and changed star rating to a 3* and bid $55.Hotel Name: Doubletree Hotel Sonoma Wine CountryBid $55.00Rooms: 1Nights: 3Subtotal: $165.00Taxes: $29.82Total: $194.82Reviews on Tripadvisor.com for this hotel look pretty promising. :) Thanks!!
thereuare Posted March 25, 2005 Report Posted March 25, 2005 Congratulations on your win.Am i correct that this is in the Santa Rose zone?It's usually recommended to LOWER YOUR BID IF YOU LOWER YOUR STAR QUALITY.Interesting that this hotel is showing sold-out on their website.Enjoy your spring break. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
mustangmonica Posted March 25, 2005 Author Report Posted March 25, 2005 Yes it's in the Santa Rosa Zone. The hotel itself is in Rohnert Park.I shall remember to lower my bid next time when I lower my star rating. Novice error!!!Thanks again for the helpul information and posts.Wish everyone a Happy Easter/ Spring Break :)
