Priceline Hotel: 3* San Diego (Downtown - Little Italy) Holiday Inn Express San Diego Downtown

[Debjapan]

I was very flexible in my bidding areas starting with 4 star hotel in every area except northern San Diego regions and San Ysidro at $50. Tried again with 3.5 stars and still had no luck. Then changed to 3 stars and $47 bid which I still had no luck. Finally rebid with freebie add of San Ysidro and upped my bid to $50 which won.

 

I then talked to friend who decided to tag along so I needed an extra room. Priceline gave me offer of $99 to rebook. Since was twice my bid, I thought No Way. "Chatted" with online help to see if there was another way to add a room at same bid, but she couldn't do it. Tried to bid, but got message that my bid had already been placed so wouldn't process. Finally I booked second room on PRICELINE EXPRESS at $58. Not bad to solve problem for only $8 extra. 

 

Immediately I went to Kayak.com to confirm online lowest price offered was $121. In retrospect, the $99 offer from Priceline for the 2nd room would still have been a good deal, but I'm very happy both my rooms were less than one night elsewhere. 

 

Thank you Betterbidding. I did use the PRICELINE links from here to book my room, as usual.
