calibrad Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Linked to PRICELINE through this site earlier today but couldn't remember my login to post result til now. Checked out PRICELINE EXPRESS Deals for March 12 (tonight) and found 3 1/2* at $69 ("similar hotel" = $159)for Anaheim, then checked for March 14 (the date I really wanted) and PRICELINE EXPRESS Deals listed a 3 1/2* at $119 ("similar hotel" = $159.) Description suggested this was the same hotel, and since it's always possible the excess inventory of Tuesday will be repeated on Thursday (though no guaratee), I bid based on the Tuesday price. Have found success with bids 20-25% below listed Express Deals, so bid 3.5* Disneyland/Anaheim South for $55. Got it -- Crowne Plaza -- on first bid, so don't know if lower was possible. This hotel has $14 "resort fee" (includes parking) which is about the going rate for parking at mid-to-higher range hotels in this area, so that will be additional. May try the opportunity to add a day--if I do, I will post again if it was successful. BTW I just rechecked PRICELINE EXPRESS Deals and it now lists March 14 @ $69. (I realize these numbers could refer to a different hotel all along--think Red Lion is in this zone, too. But this strategy resulted in a good win for me.) Link to comment
