thereuare Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 There is still a wide gap between your current bids and the rate for most of the PRICELINE EXPRESS deals above... i wouldn't consider these until your bid prices are closer to these amounts.Keep us updated on your progress and let us know if we can be of further help along the way.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

izmeeh Posted August 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 This trip is still on. However, I'm on another trip so I haven't booked a hotel for this trip yet. Will keep you updated. Link to comment

izmeeh Posted August 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Hotwire has a 4* hotel in the Costa Mesa - Orange County Airport - Irvine area for $64. This hotel is mostly to be Hilton ? (pet friendly, airport shuttle, fitness center, pool(s), restaurant(s), business center, high-speed internet access, golf nearby, tennis nearby, in-room accessibility, and wheelchair accessible) with a parking fee of $18/night. I don't really care if I stay in the Garden Grove area or the Irvine area since I have to be at both places. How much should I bid up to for a 3.5* hotel before I should go with the Hotwire hotel? Dates change.8/30-9/1 in Orange County9/1-9/2 in San DiegoIn Irvine - Santa Ana, Priceline Express for a 2.5* with a guest rating of 8.0 (free parking and internet) for $77 before 10% off. La Quinta? I'm not sure if this is a better value than going with a higher star rating hotel and chance the parking fee. Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 How much should I bid up to for a 3.5* hotel before I should go with the Hotwire hotel?Assuming the HOTWIRE property is the Hilton, how much to you like this property vs. the other possibilities in the zone... if you like the Hilton then you would have a larger gap between your maximum bid and this $64/nite rate... if you don't like the Hilton then you would likely bid up to $63/nite in hopes of landing a different 3.5* hotel in the zone.In Irvine - Santa Ana, Priceline Express for a 2.5* with a guest rating of 8.0 (free parking and internet) for $77 before 10% off. La Quinta?Is this for 8/30-9/1 and is that the full list of amenities associated with this hotel offer as i'm seeing more amenities for the 2.5* hotel when i search for these dates.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

It doesn't really matter which hotel as long as it's clean. I do prefer one with free internet. I'm looking at total price, but I don't know for sure if the other hotel has free parking or not. :)Is this for 8/30-9/1 and is that the full list of amenities associated with this hotel offer as i'm seeing more amenities for the 2.5* hotel when i search for these dates.Yes. Same dates. I only see one 2.5* hotel in the priceline list. I forgot that there might be new hotels. Coffee, wifi, swimming, parking, shuttle, printer, and gym. Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 For the 2.5* PRICELINE EXPRESS property there could be multiple possibilities... La Quinta (least likely of the group i think), Quality Suites, Best Western Orange County Airport, Hampton Inn and Suites Santa Ana/Orange County Airport... just to name a few.So if you want a 3.5* and are willing to take the parking and internet fee risk then i think you bid up to the $64 rate since you don't have a hotel preference... or you can take the lower star rating, and lower priced, PRICELINE EXPRESS hotel.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know what you decide and how it goes or how we can be of further help.

izmeeh Posted August 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Thank you so much for your help. I bid up to $64 and failed. Hotwire price for the 4* hotel went up to $66. The 2.5* Priceline Express went down to $75. I got a coupon for 10% off. I went with the 2.5* hotel and got Quality Suites John Wayne Airport. Link to comment
