stydney Posted July 4, 2011 Report Posted July 4, 2011 HelloI won a bid for Monterey area on August 3 - August 5. I made the mistake of thinking that the hotel I was getting was the Holiday Inn Express Monterey Cannery Row which seems like an extremely nice hotel, well rated in trip advisor. I won the Holiday Inn Express Monterey Bay. It has a very mediocre review in Trip Advisor and looks nothing like the Cannery Row Hotel. To top it off, for the two nights, I am paying only $20 dollars less that I would have if I had booked the advance purchase rate directly with Holiday Inn ($10 dollars a night). I hope this message helps someone.
thereuare Posted July 4, 2011 Report Posted July 4, 2011 Welcome to BetterBidding!Sorry to hear you didn't receive the hotel you were hoping for. The Holiday Inn Express Canery Row is actually lower rated on PRICELINE then this property, so it wasn't even a possibility if you were bidding 2.5*. Feel free to ask for help and/or confirm your bidding strategy before bidding for your next opaque hotel room.Thank you for sharing your win with the board.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Enjoy your stay.
