brie Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 I would like to try to reduce my expenses in San Diego by using priceline, but my family is really pushing for a pool. I was thinking that if I restrict to a 4* in the Coronado or Coastal areas, I'd probably be OK. Are there any known 4*s in those regions without a pool? Are there other areas I should look at? I realize that there are no guarantees, but I am willing to take a small risk for a big savings; I just want to minimize my risk and maximize my odds![There are 4 of us, so I will be bidding for 2 rooms as I'm unwilling to take *that* risk.]Thanks!!!

DeltaPurser Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 Well, if you stick to those areas you're pretty much "guaranteed" a pool as far as I can tell. Of all the 4* hotels that have shown up in those areas ALL seem to have nice swimming pools. Looks to me like you could land one of the Hilton or Hyatt properties for around $50-60!!!

bbbb Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 What star level and price are you looking at getting?I dont think $60 is going to get you anything nice in Aug.Are you trying to get two rooms like you did in SF? Link to comment
brie Posted April 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 Gotta get 2 rooms. Maybe this is silly and I won't get anything, but it can't hurt to try. I have a backup booked, but it's too much $ and not where I want to stay. (It *is* cancelable until the last minute, though.)What do you think it would take to get 2 rooms with a pool in a decent place for those dates? Link to comment
