grram1 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Was thrilled with this win! We are going to see our Dodgers open up the baseball season in San Diego, and were hoping to land this hotel, which is literally across the street from one of Petco's entrances (the "Gaslamp" entrance) :D . We normally would've used Priceline, but the bidding area for downtown is just too big, and there was virtually no chance of landing a 4* in the Gaslamp, since there was a 4* Sheraton avail in Harbor Island for much cheaper, and that hotel is in the same Priceline bidding zone, and has been won in the past. Hotwire has much more precise zones for downtown San Diego, and we wanted an hotel within walking distance to Petco (so we preferred the Gaslamp South, but even the Gaslamp North would've worked).Note: This hotel was not showing up (at the time of booking) when searching for more than 2 people in the room (a different 4*, likely one of the two Hiltons near Petco, would show up... different amenities, and showing "Recommended in 90% of Hotwire Customer Reviews", and a 4 of 5 Tripadvisor rating). Note: This hotel currently shows "Recommended in 100% of Hotwire Customer Reviews", and a 4.5 of 5 Tripadvisor rating.Amenities: Smoke Free Rooms, Business Center, Fitness Center, High-Speed Internet Access, Restaurant(s)Note: Direct book (non-refundable) rate through Marriott.com was $159 at time of booking.
