marmalade1000 Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 Hi,I would like to get a hotel for the weekend of 7/15 - 7/17 for my family. We have two kids, and I know Priceline doesn't let you choose bed preference, though I have generally had good luck with requesting two beds after the fact. We'd love to stay somewhere near Seaworld and the Paradise Point hotel sounds very nice, though it might be out of our price range. We'd like to spend around $100-110 per night if possible. If anyone has advice for a bidding strategy, it would be much appreciated!Thanks in advance!

marmalade1000 Posted June 30, 2011 Author Report Posted June 30, 2011 Hi,We didn't end up going to Boston, so I closed the other thread. Did click the PRICELINE link, and will absolutely use the link from Betterbidding to start my Priceline bid. Thanks!

marmalade1000 Posted June 30, 2011 Author Report Posted June 30, 2011 I'd like to try 4* first. Our choices for region in order would be -San Diego Coastal (would love to stay here because it's closer to where we'll be going both days) -Downtown & Harbor Island -Coronado -Mission Valley East -Del Mar -Hotel CircleThanks for your help!
thereuare Posted July 1, 2011 Report Posted July 1, 2011 Did you want to try up to your limit for your first choice of zone, then try your second choice, etc, etc... or is your goal the least expensive 4* or better in any of the zones above?Let us know the above and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

marmalade1000 Posted July 3, 2011 Author Report Posted July 3, 2011 I think I'll try up to my limit in the San Diego Coastal region, and then go to the second choice zones, etc. Thanks!

marmalade1000 Posted July 3, 2011 Author Report Posted July 3, 2011 Didn't get San Diego coastal at $110, so went up to $115 and got Hyatt Regency La Jolla for that price. Looking forward to our trip. Thanks for your help!
