Welcome to BetterBidding!

Best guess for the property above would be the Avenue of The Arts Costa Mesa, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel.

 

Does this work well for your needs and you want to try to target this hotel by purchasing the HOTWIRE hotel described above... or are you willing to accept any hotel in the zone at the star rating (or higher) that you bid?  If the latter and you want to pursue bidding on PRICELINE, please let us know your maximum bid for this trip and the zones, by PRICELINE name, that you're willing to accept.

 

Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

Thank you for an update.

 

This hotel has $22 self-parking. I'd prefer using PL bidding in zones 5 & 11. What is your recommendation as far as starting/max $? I'm ok with 4 and 3.3*.

 

Any help is much appreciated.

[thereuare]

To avoid any confusion (both now, and even more so in the future) please list the PRICELINE zone names that you're willing to accept, and not the numbers, as the numbers will change any time that PRICELINE adds, removes, ore renames a zone.

 

If parking charges are an issue, how do you intend to restrict your PRICELINE bidding to hotels that don't charge for parking (or to those that charge less than the property above)?

 

Are you willing to pay more for a 4* vs. a 3.5* or is the goal the least expensive 3.5* or better for this trip?

Sorry for the confusion.  The zones I'm searching for are in Westminster and Fountain Valley (Huntington Beach North - Fountain Valley - Westminster).  There aren't a lot of hotels with 3.5 or 4* in these areas, but more in Costa Mesa - South Plaza area.  The Avenue of The Arts Costa Mesa seems like a decent one, but if I can get a hotel that is close to Westminster/Fountain Valley for the same or less amount would be great.  Please let me know your thoughts. 

Right, there isn't an option in PL to restrict the parking fees, only through HW Easy View.

 

Thanks!

Currently the highest rated hotel that PRICELINE offers in the (Huntington Beach North - Fountain Valley - Westminster) zone is 3 stars... so you can't even bid for 3.5* or 4* hotels in this zone.

 

So is the only acceptable zone Costa Mesa?  And if so, are willing to pay more for a 4* vs. a 3.5* or is the goal the least expensive 3.5* or better for this trip?

Thanks, thereuare!

 

Pls ID the 3* hotel listed on PL:

Huntington Beach North - Westminster

FULL AMENITIES: Free parking, Free Internet, Pet friendly, Boutique hotel, Indoor pool(s), Airport shuttle, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Self-service laundry, Internet access, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking, Roll-in shower

 

I'm debating if want to accept the 4* Costa Mesa or bid for the 3.5* for a lower price (less expensive). I travel with 4a/2c (need 2 rooms) and my budget is $120 including taxes.  

 

I really appreciate your help!

The Hotel Huntington Beach, upgraded to the 3* level since the last time it was reported to the board, would be my best guess for this one.

I booked the hotel Avenue of Arts in Costa Mesa using HW for $73/night, which is pretty good deal for a 4*.

 

Take care.
