cabeach Posted May 23, 2013 Report Posted May 23, 2013 Planned another last minute trip this holiday weekend and so I used the PRICELINE link on betterbidding to get started. I knew it could be pretty expensive for a last minute bid but I was delighted with the 7 re-bid zones for the 3 1/2 or 4* hotels in the area. My target was Walnut Creek and below is my bidding strategy:Walnut Creek - Concord - Lafayette 3 1/2* $40 Antioch - Oakley - Pittsburg $44 Hayward - Castro Valley $48 Livermore $52 Martinez $56 Airport OAK $60 Richmond $64 Union City $68 WIN! Walnut Creek MarriottThis is exactly the area we needed and I'm pretty excited about the price. I read that this hotel only has valet parking so I called and asked if they had self parking. The front desk agent was REALLY professional and helpful - he said that there's a parking lot across the street for hotel guests & employees that it's free and the BART police patrol it. He also suggested pulling up to the valet area, checking in, and unloading our luggage so we don't have to bring it across the street. Awesome! Customer Service like that really makes me excited and I will definitely write a review for them after we get back. Thanks BetterBidding for giving me the tools to have a good bidding strategy!
