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

[already30]

An area with free shuttles to the port would be an added bonus.

Use our sister site Hotels By The Pier to see the location of the cruise ship piers at well as the hotels around them... then compare those maps to the PRICELINE zones and/or the hotels on the map with those in the Priceline Hotel List to see which zones they're in.

Confirm yourself, but the Downtown zone looks to be the 'right' one (although also note that this zone extends into Harbor Island too, so make sure you can accept a hotel anywhere within the shaded boundaries of the zone. If not, HOTWIRE may be an option as they separate the Gaslamp Quarter into its own zone and i'd check to see if that may be close enough for your needs.

Nifty site -- thanks.

I'm developing a plan. I'll let you know what I get.

It would be the downtown zone. If you could win the Holiday Inn On The Bay you could just walk across the street to your ship.

Thanks for the info. I went to look for a price idea on Holiday Inn at the Bay and they're already booked for the night before our cruise--

:)

I wish there were more reports on winning bids for hotels in downtown San Diego. Everything shown for this zone is 4*, $90+ range, and we'll be spending less for less stars.

There are nearly 300 threads on the board pertaining to this zone and you can see all the current star ratings (as last reported) in the Priceline Hotel List.

If you let us know your maximum bid and minimum star rating we will suggest a strategy for you to follow.

Well, after looking around at Priceline hotel lists, "Cruise & Snooze" packages, etc., I came to the conclusion that probably the cheapest way is to stay out of the downtown area, and drive in and park at a discount lot.
