Priceline Hotel: Oceanside-Carlsbad Bidding Help

[juneluv11]

Hi,

I'd appreciate help in looking for a place to stay near Legoland.

8/17 - 8/20

I started my bidding last night and didn't have any luck.

3.5 Star

Miramar - Rancho Penasquitos - Poway, Oceanside - Carlsbad, National City - Chula Vista, $84

El Cajon - Santee, Oceanside - Carlsbad, Mission Valley East - Central San Diego $88

Hillcrest - Balboa Park, Oceanside - Carlsbad, North County Coastal $92

La Mesa, Oceanside - Carlsbad, Mission Valley East - Central San Diego $98

3 Star

Oceanside – Carlsbad $79

Oceanside - Carlsbad, San Ysidro - Mexico Border $105

I ended up reserving a back up plan at the Ramada Oceanside for $95.20/ night. I'd rather not go more than $100/night.

Do you think it's just too early?

Thanks so much!

Hi June,

Im familiar with the area, and I would definately NOT stay at that Ramada. Its a terrible area even though its so close to Carlsbad. One of the great finds I have made on HOTWIRE is the Holiday Inn Express in San Clemente. Its very nice and for your dates I see the 3 star San Clemente 95% approval is $109 (2 adults 2 kids) on HOTWIRE. I think thats the Holiday Inn Express and where Ive stayed the last half dozen times I have worked in that area.

Granted, its 30 minutes to Legoland, but some of those others areas you have bid for are also 30 minutes

We ended up staying with out back-up at the Ramada Oceanside. The hotel ended up being great for us with no problems. Only thing was the pool was a little on the cold side.
