jenee727 Posted September 26, 2012 Report Posted September 26, 2012 I am looking for a 4* hotel in Monterey for September 28 - September 30. Our maximum budget is $150/night including taxes. Do you think it's possible to win a room with that pricing and so close to the date? Thanks for any insight you can provide!

Our maximum budget is $150/night including taxes.My initial guess is that this property won't be enough, but you have nothing to lose by trying ;) (and sometimes you can a last minute rate drop). If you let us know your maximum bid amount before taxes and fees we will suggest a strategy for you to follow.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

jenee727 Posted September 27, 2012 Author Report Posted September 27, 2012 That's what I figured. I'll give it a go and let you know what happens! :) We'll go up to 165 before taxes and fees. Thanks for your help!

jenee727 Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Posted September 28, 2012 had to try it in a rush, so used your strategy above and just changed the amounts. I was able to get a room at the Intercontinental Monterey The Clement for $250 before taxes.Thanks again for your help :D
