Priceline Hotel: 3* San Diego (Mission Valley-Hotel Circle) Holiday Inn Zoo

[mchia02]

:) Back again to this wonderful website!

I like to bid for hotel on priceline. November 17 to Nov 20. Family of four-2 adult and 2 teenage children. 3* and up hotel. Willing to settle for 2* hotel. Budget around $120.

Any suggestion? Thank you.

Priceline only guarantees a room which will accomodate double occupancy, after that it's at the discretion of the hotel and you could receive a room with only one bed... is this a risk you're willing to take? If not, you can try HOTWIRE which will allow you to search for up to quad occupancy.

Let us know if you prefer priceline or HOTWIRE for this stay and we'll take it from there.

Will it be about the same price to bid for 2 rooms on priceline than 1 room on hotwire? If so I will like to bid for 2 rooms. If not I will try hotwire.

Usually priceline is usually a little cheaper than HOTWIRE, but not half as much.

If you do a HOTWIRE search on HOTWIRE for your dates, selecting 2adults/2children, does anything appear in the zone within your budget?

I tried not to book hotels downtown to avoid the daily parking fee. But when I went to their Holiday Inn Webside and found out that the parking is $14 /day!!! I thought hotel circle hotels should not charge parking.

Thank you for sharing your results with the board.

Sorry to hear of the unexpected parking charge. This property is listed in the Hotwire Hotel List so you could have tried to ID it beforehand and researched the parking charges before your purchase. If you need helpin IDing any future properties feel free to ask for help.

Thanks for using our HOTWIRE link to begin your purchase.

Enjoy your stay.

I had ID the property before the purchase. I was trying not to spend too much time making the purchase. It is only when I was trying to get direction to the hotel that I found out the parking charge.

I HAVE A SUGGESTION -PUT THE HIDDEN CHARGE ON YOUR LISTING

Parking, other surchage etc. So we know what they are before we purchase.

Thank you

We won't put additional charges in our hotel lists as they change too frequently (added, removed, added again, price increase) and there is no way to keep up with them all.
