Priceline Hotel: 3* San Diego (Del Mar - Rancho Santa Fe) Morgan Run Club And Resort

[Goldbeard]

I'm interested in a room for one night 8/17 in either North County Coastal, San Diego Coastal or Sorrento Mesa. The room can be 2* or higher. My motivation is the lowest priced room in any of the three zones. I would prefer North County Coastal first, then San Diego Coastal, then Sorrento Mesa. The higher the star, the better. However, those are not the main factors. The lowest price room 2* or higher in any of the 3 zones is the motivation. I can also add a second night to the strategy 8/18 if that extends the strategy but would prefer one night on 8/17.

Thanks!

So that we don't suggest a strategy that goes higher than you're willing to pay, what is your maximum bid for this trip?

PRICELINE (and HOTWIRE) do some averaging on multiple night bids. And the basic fee is spread over the multiple nights.

Other than the above, there isn't any actual benefit to a longer stay vs a shorter stay.

$120 max

Before bidding up to $120, if you look at HOTWIRE they have:

2* SeaWorld Mission Bay Shelter Island for $95 (very low 50% recommendation from previous HOTWIRE guests)

2* Encinitas for $94

Are either of these acceptable at which point you could lower your maximum bid down from $120/nite?

Besides thereuare's suggestions, on the retail side of Priceline there is a 2* North County Coastal Super 8 for $89.

Those aren't acceptable hotels. Let's drop 2* and instead have 2.5 as the lowest star. Thanks.

Unfortunately there are no re-bid zones when bidding the 2.5* level in San Diego.

I would try:

Select 2.5* North County Coastal...

Bid $90, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE

Select 2.5* San Diego Coastal...

Bid $90, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE

Select 2.5* Sorrento Mesa...

Select 2.5* North County Coastal and San Diego Coastal...

Bid $100, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE

Select 2.5* North County Coastal and Sorrento Mesa...

Select 2.5* Sorrento Mesa and San Diego Coastal...

Bid $120

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

I bid on North County Coastal 2.5* at $90 and hit for Morgan Run which is a 3*. It worked out well. Thanks for the strategy!

Congratulations on your success!

It looks like at some point you added 'Del Mar - Rancho Santa Fe' in addition to the zones above?

Thank you for sharing your win with the board.
