Priceline Hotel: 3* San Diego (Sorrento Mesa) Country Inn and Suites San Diego North

[BayArea1227]

I got this bid on my 7th try. I first checked the PRICELINE website and saw how much the prices were for the area and star rating for certain hotels. I started my bid today, but I think I should have started earlier because prices in San Diego were quite expensive for the areas and star ratings which I do normallly stay at. Here's my bidding strategy:

Started at 3* with Hotel Circle - Mission Valley West at $60 - Rejected

Added Coronado at $65 - Rejected

Added Downtown San Diego & Harbor Island at $70 - Rejected

Added San Diego Coastal at $75 - Rejected

Added Mission Valley East - Central San Diego at $78 - Rejected

Added Point Loma - Shelter Island - Old Town at $80 - Rejected

Added Sorrento Mesa at $82 - Accepted!!! :)

I used the PRICELINE link provided on top of the BetterBidding board.

Congratulations on your success!

Hope you're pleased with the results and this property will work well for your plans. Usually when you add a 'live' zone (one which has the star rating you're currently bidding) it's often best to start from a clean slate and add that zone at a lower price then you had been bidding, then add the previous zones and slowly increase your price. Feel free to ask for help and a bidding strategy, or to confirm the bidding strategy you intend to use, before bidding for your next hotel room.

Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding.

Enjoy your stay.
