thereuare Posted May 12, 2018 Report Posted May 12, 2018 Welcome to BetterBidding! I believe there are likely more amenities for some of these properties then what you have posted above as HOTWIRE has a new interface that does not show the complete set of amenities unless you search using the EASY VIEW TAB of our BiddingHelper.com tool. (always use this method for your searches/purchases to ensure you're seeing the complete amenity set and for an easy comparison of PRICELINE vs. HOTWIRE, as well as to use our new IS THIS A GOOD PRICE feature). If you repeat your search using our BiddingHelper.com tool... use the HOTWIRE EASY VIEW tab and then click the GREEN BUTTON next to each of these listings, do you see more amenities (including any accessible amenities) then what you have listed above? 32 minutes ago, BergiesGurl said: 8/3/18 - 8/27/18 To confirm, these dates are correct... a 24 nite trip? 32 minutes ago, BergiesGurl said: might try to name my own price If you decide to bid on PRICELINE how do you ensure that you'll receive a room that can accommodate 2adults/2children (since all PRICELINE reservations are only guaranteed for double occupancy)? As well, note that when bidding on PRICELINE you may not necessarily receive the same hotels as above (which are from HOTWIRE) since each service may have slightly different zone boundaries, may rate the same hotel differently, or a host of other factors that can effect the outcome. 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. Let us know the information above and we'll take it from there. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
BergiesGurl Posted May 12, 2018 Author Report Posted May 12, 2018 Oh that is wrong I meant to put travel dates of 8/3 - 8/7. I am fine with not getting same hotels on Name Your Own Price, I just meant to establish a limit for my bidding before I would just go with a HotWire hotel. Unless we find a great deal and like a hotel, there definitely is value to having idea of what you are getting. I guess there is always a first time, but I have never had an issue at the 4 Star hotels name your own price with getting double beds and checking in with 2 children, but definitely will keep that in mind. I will definitely use the site links to purchase Thank You I ran it again, using the easy view 8/3/18 - 8/27/18 1 Room- 2 adults, 2 children ***3-star Hotel in Mission Valley - Hotel Circle - Balboa Park area - $118 90% Recommended Restaurant Pool Fitness Smoke Free Free Internet Hi-Speed Internet Business Laundry Golf Childrens Activities Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Wheelchair Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower ***4-star Hotel in Seaport Village - Downtown Marina area $135.26 85% Recommended Restaurant Pool Fitness Smoke Free Hi-Speed Internet Business Golf Spa ***4-star Hotel in Embarcadero - Downtown - Harbor Island area $122 80% Recommended Boutique Restaurant Fitness Smoke Free Hi-Speed Internet Business Golf Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Wheelchair Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower Pet Friendly ***4-star Hotel in Embarcadero - Downtown - Harbor Island area $139 75% Recommended Shuttle Restaurant Pool Fitness Smoke Free Free Internet Hi-Speed Internet Business Golf Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower Pet Friendly New Hotel ***3-star Hotel in Downtown Little Italy - $112 90% recommended Restaurant Fitness Smoke Free Free Internet Hi-Speed Internet Spa
AaronJB Posted May 12, 2018 Report Posted May 12, 2018 I'm seeing on HOTWIRE: 3* HOTWIRE Mission Valley - Hotel Circle - Balboa Park for $118.00 Free Internet Smoke Free Fitness Pool Restaurant Business Laundry Hi-Speed Internet Golf Childrens Activities Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Wheelchair Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower ==> No guess I'm not seeing a 4* in Seaport for $135 and change when searching for 2 adults and 2 children for these dates. I am seeing: 4* HOTWIRE Seaport Village - Downtown Marina for $136.00 Pet Friendly Near Beach Shuttle Smoke Free Fitness Pool Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Golf Spa Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Wheelchair Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower ==> Best guess for this listing would be the Westin. 4* HOTWIRE Embarcadero - Downtown - Harbor Island for $122.00 Pet Friendly Boutique Smoke Free Fitness Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Golf Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Wheelchair Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower ==> Best guess would be the Hotel Republic San Diego 4* HOTWIRE Embarcadero - Downtown - Harbor Island for $139.00 Free Internet Pet Friendly Shuttle Smoke Free Fitness Pool Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Golf Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower ==> Best guess would be the Wyndham Bayside I'm not seeing the 3* for $112 in Little Italy. Are you searching for 2 adults and 2 children when you are seeing the 4* Seaport for $135 and change and the $112 Little Italy? If you search for 2 adults you will often get some different results vs 2 adults and 2 children searches.

BergiesGurl Posted May 12, 2018 Author Report Posted May 12, 2018 Oh you were right I didn't have the children in that search and the $112 Little Italy doesn't come up with the children listed. The Westin and Hotel Republic may be good options, I just need to check parking costs and resorts fees. I will update if I purchase through HOTWIRE

BergiesGurl Posted July 14, 2018 Author Report Posted July 14, 2018 I was stalking prices and finally found a deal I liked, it was a PRICELINE EXPRESS Deal. Listed as a 4 Star Hotel in Gaslamp Quarter South - Convention Center with a 9+ rating @ $144/night. Amenities: Bed Choice, Business Center, Fitness Center, Non Smoking, Pets Allowed, Restaurant and Swimming Pool There was no resort fee figured it would be the Omni and I was correct. Did use the board PRICELINE link and the 5% Priceline Coupon and came out to $663.44 for the 4 nights. Very happy with this property and pricing, as I was able to select 2 double beds. Since I am traveling with my mother-in-law, son and niece I could not risk naming my own price and not getting double beds. Canceled my backup of the Hotel Republic booked through my work travel site. They only had King beds available and I would have been sleeping on cot for 4 days, it was only $20 more so not a big savings, but the Omni is nicer, has a pool and my back is thankful.
thereuare Posted July 14, 2018 Report Posted July 14, 2018 Congratulations on your success! Glad to see you received a nice deal at this well reviewed property and are looking forward to your trip. 4 hours ago, BergiesGurl said: I was stalking prices In the future you can try using our RateDrop service which will monitor prices for you and makes it less likely that you will miss a deal that is only available for a brief period of time. Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your purchase. Have a great stay!
