grram1 Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Got quite the deal on our first bid this time around (you usually don't like to have your first offer accepted... makes you wonder how much cheaper you could have gotten it for... but this time I honestly thought I was posting a low ball bid that simply got accepted... I had my strategy set up to start at $80 and work it up to $105 from there). Hotwire has a 4* in the same area for $112, judging by the amenities I have a suspicion that it's the same property. Best rate elsewhere was a AAA promo rate of $156.75... otherwise $184 was the best I could find... so the $80 win represents a significant savings. I am flirting with extending the stay (via. "Extend your stay for the same rate" offer)... if I can arrange my personal life to allow for the extra night my overall savings would increase over this already great deal (as the Friday night rate goes up to $191.20 on the AAA promo and $219 elsewhere). This hotel also carries a good tripadvisor rating of 58 of 234 hotels. All in all very pleased and excited about this one!Check-In Date: Wednesday, August 1, 2007 Check-Out Date: Friday, August 3, 2007 Hotel Name: Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego1 Market Place San Diego, California 92101 619-232-1234 Your Offer Price: $80.00 Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 2 Subtotal: $160.00 Taxes and Service Fees: $26.97 Total Charges*: $186.97 Link to comment
grram1 Posted July 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Went ahead and added an extra night... the original $80 was rejected and I was offered a $90 rate which I accepted. This is still an outstanding deal as the Friday night rate goes up $35 when booked direct through the hotel... so on a percentage basis the $90 win for Friday night was actually a bigger savings than the $80 rate scored for the previous two nights.
