2nd attempt:

Bid $57 for 3.5* Disneyland - Anaheim South - Orange

Given this option: "If you are willing to raise your price by $15 to $72 per room, per night, you can try the same request again right now. Normally you are required to change additional items (add zones, star level, or dates) in order to try your request again. However we are able to extend this one-time opportunity to you because of the zone, quality level and dates you requested." - DECLINED since I can get this Express Deal (no bidding required) for less:

Disneyland - Anaheim South - Orange - Garden Grove Area ($118 similar hotels)

$67 per night ($164.58 total)

3.5* Rated 8.0 out of 10 (or higher)

This Hotel has: Free Internet | Indoor or Outdoor Pool | Restaurant | Business Center | Fitness Center

Mandatory fee: $14/night <-- guessing this is Crowne Plaza Resort Anaheim

Re-bid $58 by adding Anaheim Hills

Re-bid $59 by adding Buena Park

Re-bid $60 by adding Cypress

Re-bid $61 by adding Laguna Beach

Re-bid $62 by adding Lake Forest

Re-bid $63 by adding North Huntington - ACCEPTED

CROWNE PLAZA RESORT ANAHEIM

Offer Price (per room, per night): $63

Rooms: 1

Nights: 2

Room Subtotal: $126

Taxes & Fees: $24.34

Total Room Cost: $150.34

Resort Fee: $14 per day (includes self parking, Disney Hotel Shuttle, fitness center, in-room Internet, and WiFi in public areas)

Valet parking: $16 per day

I don't consider Crowne Plaza to be a resort, but $14/day seems to be the normal cost of parking in any hotel near Disneyland. My goal was to get a reasonably priced hotel near the Honda Center for an upcoming concert. I'm happy that I won this hotel for less than the Express Deals price.

Thanks, BetterBidding.com!
