the_bud Posted June 11, 2005 Report Posted June 11, 2005 I just made a bid for a 3* at priceline for the Monterey/Pacific grove area for 6/24 - 6/26 @ $120/night and got no hits. Am I still to far out from the dates? I'm a newbie (1st email).
Blueskies Posted June 11, 2005 Report Posted June 11, 2005 From what I can gather the coastal areas have no problem with occupancy at weekends especially during summer so there is little availability whatever route you take let alone taking the opaque option. I tried for a weekend date in July and had no luck and the rates through conventional means were very high. Only suggestion would be if you don't need to be at the coast then perhaps try Santa Cruz as it has some properties a bit inland. I had no luck there either with opaque but as there is something special on in the area.
thereuare Posted June 11, 2005 Report Posted June 11, 2005 Welcome to BetterBidding!It is an expensive area, and not a large number of hotels, thus making the opaque services difficult during peak times. Have you searched 'traditional rates'? I'd imagine you find them to be quite high as well.Would any nearby zones work for your needs?
