MotorRecall Posted October 11, 2013 Report Posted October 11, 2013 Been striking out trying to get a 4* in Sonoma, bid up to $170 per night without success. I'm guessing it's because of my inclusion of a Saturday check-in. If we're really hoping to get a Sonoma 4* for those dates, should we wait until later this month to bid? It is after all the off season for wine country.If Sonoma really doesn't work out, I'm guessing I'll add Napa Downtown North and try again. Really trying to avoid the Napa River Inn, which hasn't seen a report for some time now :). Everything else looks pretty nice.
thereuare Posted October 11, 2013 Report Posted October 11, 2013 Using MAPS and HOTELS.com the best rate i'm seeing for a 4* hotel is $300+... rates are only slightly lower when excluding the Saturday nite. It's also possible that this area holds events for Halloween which may be influencing prices.Not sure if it will help, but is SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID an option?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

MotorRecall Posted October 11, 2013 Author Report Posted October 11, 2013 I think I'm going to split the bids. Going to try Wed-Friday/Friday-Saturday. If that still doesn't work I'll split it day by day, I actually don't mind moving around.

MotorRecall Posted October 13, 2013 Author Report Posted October 13, 2013 Result of split bidding to avoid the Friday check-in got the Courtyard Vallejo Napa Valley for $85 on the Friday nite. Last day in Napa before heading south to San Jose, so this location ain't too bad.
